Doug Harris (Josh Gad) is a loveable but socially awkward groom-to-be witha 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.
In Splash, Darryl Hannah called herself “Madison” after seeing a street sign; Robin Williams chose the moniker “Mrs. Doubtfire” after reading the newspaper headline “Police Doubt Fire Was Accidental;” and Jan Brady invented her fictional boyfriend “George Glass” after spying a glass of water on the table. In the upcoming film The Wedding Ringer (opening in theaters nationwide this Friday, Jan. 16), Kevin Hart’s alter ego is “Bic Mitchum,” a name inspired by a tube of Mitchum deodorant. Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting’s character, Gretchen Palmer, becomes suspicious after discovering Mitchum deodorant in the medicine cabinet next to a pack of razors.
