The storyline has Doug (Gad) as a groom-to-be who finds himself in just such a situation. Making matters worse, he fabricates the names of not only a best man, but nine groomsmen as well. When all else fails, he seeks out Jimmy’s services to carry out a charade designed to make him look his best, but threatens to destroy everything if it fails.

According to Deadline, “The Wedding Ringer” will be  Garelick’s directing debut. Hart recently completed filming the second season of his hit show “Real Husbands of Hollywood.”
