Plots(1)
Doug Harris (Josh Gad) is a loveable but socially awkward groom-to-be with a problem: he has no best man. With less than two weeks to go until he marries the girl of his dreams (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), Doug is referred to Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart), owner and CEO of Best Man, Inc., a company that provides flattering best men for socially challenged guys in need. What ensues is a hilarious wedding charade as they try to pull off the big con, and an unexpected budding bromance between Doug and his fake best man Jimmy. (Miramax Films)

The best comedy of the year if not the last decade. This one absolutely flew under my radar because of the not-so-familiar cast. Kevin Hart is a great entertainer on the level of the Wayans brothers. The film has all the elements I love in comedies (dancing and partying, smart women, quirky individuals, perverted humor, queer and apt jokes). As a plus, an excellent idea and lots of deep thoughts regarding women, marriage, friendship and all the stuff around it. I’ve seen it three times now and each time I've ended up under the table with an uncomfortable seizure, I haven't laughed so heartily and honestly in a long time. Perfect stuff whose wisdom I will definitely use in the future.

Right from the start, I had a feeling it was going to be complete nonsense, and I wasn't far off. It was the kind of simple, mindless fun that's perfect for giving your brain a break. You can't expect a plot that demands much from the viewer. Now, don't get me wrong — I don't reject these types of movies. They're great for passing the time while doing those mundane household chores. From that perspective, I could easily give the film three stars. However, the creators should stick to what works for them — humor. While it succeeded in some places, it often got cringey when they tried to get all moral or emotional with the story. / Lesson learned: If you're in the United States, it pays to be sociable. It might come in handy when you want to get married.
