Oh, my best man, made this bowl of chicken (base) soup!

99% of comedies are about LOSER, and this customized best man is no exception.
In the film, Doug (this name is too cold, hereinafter referred to as the dog brother) is getting married soon, and he has been on the phone. He has never seen a passerby a few times until he can't figure out whether he is a dead or alive classmate. I can't find any friends who are willing to be my best man. It was so hard that no one would come to the funeral when he died one day (parents also left early, so pitiful). In order to have a good image in the minds of his fiancee, Ge Gou decided to find a professional best man to pretend to be Jimmy (this name is too boring, hereinafter referred to as Ji/Ji Ge, oh my wayward input method), so the two swords combined. , Qin Se He Ming, successfully ruined the grand wedding of Gou Ge.
When I watched it, I always had a question: Is it true that the screenwriter was not the original book that wrote a romance film, and then changed it to Acura's great friendship book? In my opinion, Ge Ge should originally be a wedding consultant or something, but he must be a girl. Then, in various ways to help Ge Ge to tide over the difficulties, he found that he was in unity with Ge Ge. The third is tormented in fear, until the dog brother realizes that his fiancee is not his true love, so he runs off the wedding and flies with his brother. With the romantic and sensational background music, the film ends.
Well, I admit that my brain is a little bit bigger. Just after playing happily in the Gou Ge Ji Ge movie, Ji Ge suddenly stopped Gou Ge and emphasized with a serious face: Are we just a business relationship? Can we not be friends? In three months you will say that I am dead and we will never see each other again! I'll be in the drama all at once, okay? Isn't this written in the way of romance? Play and find that you fall in love, but repeatedly emphasize that it is a friend, a friend, and then never meet again in order to restrain the urge to love-oh, but true love is supreme.
Well, of course, I don’t know why the screenwriter wrote a story about finding true love into finding friends. In my humble opinion, love comedies are getting harder and harder to sell these years, and now the audience’s taste is "good friends for a lifetime" (see Teddy Bear, Dragon Tiger Boys, Hangover and other box office hit comedies), So the screenwriter was afraid to write the story of this "fake best man, true friend".
Brother Gou said: Why don't I make friends? Because I moved around since I was young and transferred to more than a dozen schools, I just stopped paying. I couldn't deliver it later.
Ge Ge said: How did I make my debut? Because he was inexplicably called to be the second best man, the bullshit made everyone happy, so he went into the sea.
This period of true (basic) love may be the key to the film’s clever collection instead of being a farce after the trouble. Indeed, when it comes to making friends, some people are just good at it, and some people are stretched out. Really hard to pay, hard to find a close friend, after thinking about it, I still have a lonely family, more than quiet, and lonely. Jige said that the average number of good friends has dropped from 3 to 2. I don't know if it is true. However, people today are indeed becoming more and more closed. The bigger the world of oneself, the smaller the circle of friends. After thinking about it, do you blame yourself or the times?
Ge Ge’s wedding speech was another good bowl of chicken soup: My grandmother said that the measure of friendship is not your opinion of them, but how they make you change your opinion of yourself. This sentence was really good. The laughter of the whole film stopped since then, and Ge Geji looked affectionately at his eyes and understood that this "fake show" was actually "real". So the brothers clearly settled the accounts, and Ge Ge simply accepted the remuneration check from the dog brother, so the groom and the best man became "destined".
Zhang Zhilin has such a line in "Natural Love Madness": The best distance to love a person is to not see the other person clearly. After watching the whole movie, I suddenly thought that this sentence is placed in friendship, then the best distance to be friends with a person is to see the other person completely.
I was finished writing here. I suddenly felt that the easter eggs in this film were a bit scribbled. Wouldn't it be more interesting if the fake scenes and fake photos that were used to deceive the bride were taken in the film?
