What You'll Learn
Crude and sexual content
The Wedding Ringer is rated R by the MPAA for crude and sexual content, language throughout, some drug use, and brief graphic nudity. The movie features a wedding and a bachelor party as excuses for debauchery, landing one-night stands, and crude jokes.
The film includes infrequent use of sexual references and innuendos, along with two scenes depicting breast and male genital nudity in a sexual context. In one scene, a woman at a party spreads peanut butter on a blindfolded, handcuffed man's face and licks it off. She then rubs peanut butter below the frame (implied on genitals) and calls a dog to lick it. The camera briefly shows the dog licking at baggy boxer shorts and then biting and pulling on a pink object (a penis shaft that looks like rubber) as the man yells in pain.
In another scene, a woman squats to give a man oral sex, but he refuses. Two clothed men also simulate anal sex briefly. The movie also includes a scene where a woman sits on a man's lap and removes a lime slice from his mouth with her teeth, followed by her rubbing something below the frame as the camera lowers to show a dog.
The Wedding Ringer also features a pool party and party scenes with women wearing revealing clothing, including skimpy bikinis, halter-tops, and short-shorts that expose a lot of cleavage. Women's breasts are visible in these scenes, and a woman's wedding gown reveals significant cleavage.
The film also perpetuates stereotypes, portraying women as materialistic and shallow, while men are reduced to sex-obsessed individuals.

The film depicts infrequent references to illegal drug use and a scene of drug use involving marijuana. In one scene, a woman at a party spreads peanut butter on a blindfolded, handcuffed man's face, and licks it off.

The scene ends with the dog biting and pulling on the man's genitals, causing him to yell in pain. This scene contains elements of drug use and graphic nudity, which contribute to the R rating.
In addition to the explicit scene described above, the film also portrays substance abuse and alcohol abuse.
