The
Wedding Ringer
*
Dir: Jeremy Garelick. With: Kevin Hart, Josh
Gad, Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting. 101 mins. Cert: 15
Kevin Hart’s latest
laughter-vacuum repurposes the plot of 2009’s undervalued I Love You Man for performers whose own relatives probably wouldn’t
pay to watch them in a cinema. Where its predecessor used this set-up –
friendless groom-to-be hires phoney best man – to observe how funny men can get
around other men, Ringer is
principally concerned with the indignities wrought on schlubby Josh Gad’s
gonads by chilli and hungry dogs, among other elements. Hart continues to
demonstrate what Funny People
euphemistically termed “a lot of energy”: here, it encompasses ultra-lame dance
routines, and behaviour towards women that would likely land one on a register
if emulated in real life.
The Wedding Ringer is now playing in cinemas nationwide.
