When Doug Harris (Josh Gad) proposes to his girlfriend Gretchen (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting) he comes to realise that he has everything he could ever wish for... except a best man. After he is referred to Best Man Inc., a company that specialises in supplying fake groomsmen for grooms with no friends, Doug meets Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart), the most successful fake best man in the business. As Doug sets about making Jimmy, or Bic Mitchum as he renames him, believable as his new best friend, chaos ensues including a disastrous family meal that results in Gretchen's grandmother catching fire.

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.
