This is a formulaic "buddy flic", a vehicle for Kevin Hart. Nothing wrong with that, he's worthy and nobody's saying its Ibsen!
Personally some of the base-est, most tribal behavior in humanity I've encountered, had a wedding attached to it. Given the amount of humorously uncomfortable films involving the subject, that's a common experience.
Josh Gad wasn't an actor on my radar previously, but he did well in this. You had little doubt about the core of his character, and the interaction with Kevin Hart's role conveyed well.
Was it funny? Rather in places, and I'm not awfully proud of myself for admitting it. Fine "fly on the wall" piece, but we've all been there by degrees.
I thought some of the prop gags a bit overboard, but it was escape with levity.
I think a borderline 6 to 7, as it's ephemeral, fading even as I write this.
Yet, it should earn some box office cred, and be a nice resume inclusion for a pretty good cast.
