Funny, but nothing new

-The Wedding Ringer (2015) movie review: -Kevin Hart is back as The Wedding Ringer, owner of a company that hires out grooms for weddings. He must rise to a whole new level though, when Josh Gad comes along and needs not one, but all of his groomsmen.

-Almost a token comedy that exceeds some comedy clichés, I found some good entertainment value in The Wedding Ringer. I also hold the opinion that it is not strong film in any way.

-The story is original, but ultimately one of those comedy stories that takes the same direction as all of the others. Until an original ending, so props.

-The pace was fine.

-The acting was fine. Kevin Hart is as good as always. Josh Gad is fine. The supporting cast is fine.

-The characters are just comedy clichés. There is a good amount of character development, so I will give it that too.

-The soundtrack was good. It was fun and fitting. It used some high-profile songs too, which surprised me.

-So the film tried hard for laughs. The harder it tried, the less funny it was. However it did very well in the actual jokes and funny moments it had. The situational humor just was not funny to me.

-I can't think of anything else to talk about. So The Wedding Ringer was funny and entertaining. It was not all that original and did not stand out too much, but I think it would be worth watching if it is ever on Netflix.

-The Wedding Ringer is rated-R for some language, which was moderate, but not too bad. Fitting for a film like this actually. It also had some somewhat inappropriate scenes that made the film awkward at times and helped the rating to a higher R.
