‘The Wedding Ringer’: Due April 28
Jimmy (Kevin Hart) provides best man services for socially challenged guys, who — for whatever reason — have no one close enough to agree to stand by them on the day of their wedding. Doug, (Josh Gad), a socially awkward groom-to-be, has found himself in just such a situation, but, to make matters worse, he fabricates the names of not only a best man but nine groomsmen as well. With less than two weeks to go until he marries the girl of his dreams, Doug seeks out Jimmy’s services to carry out a charade designed to make Doug look his best … but threatens to destroy everything if it fails.
