    Better than expected...

    I'm now writing this review back to back with another (similar?) comedy Unfinished Business (2015) with Vince Vaughn (who actually was supposed to be the star of the wedding ringer along with Owen Wilson).

    I'm disappointed from most of the recent comedies, so I had low expectations with this one too. Well...the verdict is...it's better than expected! Not a masterpiece or anything but it works.

    The premise? You've seen it before in many variations. A socially unpopular guy is engaged to be married with a "hot" woman, above his looks and status. His problem? He doesn't have any friends, so he hires a professional "best man" and his team, so he can offer to his woman the wedding she dreamed of.

    Josh Gad and Kevin Hart are not first class comedians. They have some chemistry though, so the inevitable bromance works.

    There are some funny moments. A dance. Some crude humor but not too much. It looks like Wedding Crashers "Lite".

    Overall: Watch it if you had the time. Not great but overall is satisfying enough.
