Critics Consensus

Kevin Hart and Josh Gad might be two great comedians that go great together, but there's little evidence of it on display in The Wedding Ringer.

Idc what anyone says this film was funny as f**k. I love to see Kevin Hart in a role that actually suits him because that's when he's a true joy to watch. The concept of the film wasn't overly corny it was actually interesting and different. I would love a pt.2 honestly. This is probably one of my favorite films starring Kevin, I love how he makes every interaction with other characters feel so genuine lol.

National Newspaper Publishers Association

The Wedding Ringer isn't innovative, but ultimately it's a crowd-pleasing movie.

Empire Magazine

It's a ridiculous premise exploited poorly, settling instead for plenty of athlete cameos and countless astonished reaction shots.

It manages to offend on so many levels that it's genuinely remarkable.
