Best Wedding Movies

“I want my real life to be as fun as the one I made up!”
-Doug Harris, The Wedding Ringer

The Wedding Ringer premiered last Friday at Aksarben Cinema. The Wedding Ringer stars Kevin Hart and Josh Gad. Gad is a groom-to-be who needs to impress his future in-laws so he enlists the help of Hart, a best man for hire. Unfortunately for the young groom, he needs more than just a best man - he needs a whole wedding party. Hilarity ensues as Gad is introduced to an unlikely party for his wedding.

In honor of the release of this new comedy film we give you a list of the best wedding comedies.

Wedding Crashers

Wedding Crashers is one of the most quotable films and will have you in stitches with a script by Steve Faber and Bob Fisher (We’re the Millers). Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn star as a pair of bachelors looking for another one-night stand, but find themselves in a pickle when Wilson’s character falls for the unavailable Claire Cleary (Rachel McAdams).

Along for the comedy hijinks in this 2006 film are Christopher Walken, Isla Fisher, Bradley Cooper, and Will Ferrell in a hilarious sequence.

I Love You, Man

I Love You, Man has to be one of the most underrated comedies of all time. It contains an awkward, dry comedy that feels more 80s than 2000s and features two of the best comedy stars that are now hitting it big with films such as The Muppets and Ant-Man. Paul Rudd and Jason Segel star as two unlikely friends, one is a future groom who needs a best friend and the other is a slacker who thinks he’s got it all together.

“Slap da bass” with Rudd and Jobin (a nickname Rudd’s character poorly gives to Segel’s) as they embark on an awkward, but wonderful friendship.

Bridesmaids

There has not been a comedy like Bridesmaids. We’re confident in that statement because there has never been a comedy film that is so raunchy, gross-out hilarious, and yet so perfectly charming. Now all those criteria are one thing, but the fact that it stars the best female comedians of this decade makes Bridesmaids a landmark film that puts to rest the invalid argument that women can’t be funny.

Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy star in this hilarious film that focuses on Wiig’s characters and her struggles during preparation for her best friend’s wedding that results in food poisoning, a drunken excursion on a classy flight, and a romantic run-in with an adorable cop. If The Wedding Ringer has even a tenth of what Bridesmaids had in terms of comedy then we’re all in for a treat.
