]]> Ride Along ended up being a big hit in 2014, so there’s no surprise Hollywood wanted more. And now we have Ride Along 2, for better or worse. Ride Along was okay enough, so let’s hope Ride Along 2 can at least maintain the level of its predecessor. I know most people are pretty much tired of Kevin, but it looks like we’ll just have to ride it out.

I normally wouldn’t post about films like The Wedding Ringer, but since Kevin Hart is headlining the film and he’s popular in the Black community, I’ll include it. Kevin Hart has been riding his fame for the past couple of years like he bought an unlimited pass.

This particular film is interesting because it’s the first film that Hart has been a lead character where there’s no other Black leading character. The last movie that he was in that centered around white character was Grudge Match, which was a critical disappointment and barely broke even.

We’ll see if Kevin Hart’s streak will continue with The Wedding Ringer. It’s following the trend of Ride Along being released on MLK weekend, and that was a financial success. I guess Hollywood is trying to claim MLK weekend as Kevin Hart’s. It might be difficult this year since there’s an actual film about MLK. But good luck to Kevin Hart.

Synopsis:

In “The Wedding Ringer,” Jimmy (Hart) provides best man services for socially challenged guys, who – for whatever reason – have no one close enough to agree to stand by them on the day of their wedding. Doug (Josh Gad) a groom-to-be, has found himself in just such a situation, but, to make matters worse, he fabricates the names of not only a best man but nine groomsmen as well. When all else fails, Doug seeks out Jimmy’s services to carry out a charade designed to make Doug look his best, but threatens to destroy everything if it fails.

The Wedding Ringer opens Friday, January 16 in theaters everywhere. You can get your tickets here.
