Overview
Doug Harris is a loveable but socially awkward groom-to-be with a problem: he has no best man. With less than two weeks to go until he marries the girl of his dreams, Doug is referred to Jimmy Callahan, owner and CEO of Best Man, Inc., a company that provides flattering best men for socially challenged guys in need. What ensues is a hilarious wedding charade as they try to pull off the big con, and an unexpected budding bromance between Doug and his fake best man Jimmy.
MovieMagicScore Overview
Auto-generatedJeremy Garelick's 2015 comedy follows a socially awkward groom-to-be who hires a charismatic professional to pose as his best man before the wedding. What begins as a transactional con gradually warms into an unlikely friendship, mixing elaborate deception with sincere bromance. The humor is broad and physical, built around mounting lies, mismatched personalities, and high-pressure social situations. The tone stays light and good-natured despite the chaos. Holding a MagicMovieScore of 6.5, it suits viewers who enjoy buddy comedies, wedding-day farce, and crowd-pleasing stories about loneliness, belonging, and the value of genuine connection.
