Doug Harris (JOSH GAD) ist ein liebenswerter Mensch mit einem etwas unbeholfenen Sozialleben. Da er bald heiraten wird, hat er ein Problem: er hat keinen Trauzeugen. Da ihm nur noch zwei Wochen Zeit bleiben, ehe er die Frau seiner Träume (KALEY CUOCO-SWEETING) zum Altar führen will, wird Doug an Jimmy Callahan (KEVIN HART) verwiesen, den Besitzer und Geschäftsführer der Trauzeugen AG, einer Firma, die sich darauf spezialisiert hat, männlichen Sozialnerds vorzeigbare Trauzeugen zu vermitteln. Als die beiden Männer versuchen, gemeinsam diesen großen Hochzeits-Schwindel durchzuziehen, nehmen wahnwitzige Turbulenzen ihren Lauf. Und außerdem ist es der Beginn einer unerwartet tiefen Männerfreundschaft zwischen Doug und seinem falschen Trauzeugen Jimmy. (Sony Pictures DE)

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.
