HE’S THE BEST MAN… MONEY CAN BUY.
Doug Harris (Josh Gad) hasnāt told his fiancĆ©e (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting) that he has absolutely no one to invite to their upcoming wedding, so he hires Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart) whoās running a ābest-man serviceā for lonely guys. It takes almost an hour until you realize that at the bottom of this contrived, occasionally dreadful comedy are a few not irrelevant thoughts about loneliness among men. In spite of the crassness, the film is passable on the whole and has enthusiastic efforts by everybody involved. But itās a shame to waste Cloris Leachman like this; she has one or two lines.
