Rival Wingman, Broken Relationships and A Night That Changes Everything
Turk (Harland Williams) has one of the most important jobs in the world: he’s a WingMan. If you want to get laid or need help hooking up, Turk is the man to call. If you don’t get laid, he doesn’t get paid, simple. When Turk meets one of his newest clients at a bar, he once again proves himself as a highly skilled Wingman. On the same night, we also meet Bob (Evan Marsh), who is celebrating his engagement with his partner, Terri (Shiva Negar). However, Bob’s attention is not on his partner, which soon leads to tragic consequences. You see, Turk is not the only WingMan helping men chase the perfect night. Rival WingMan Eddie (Jamie Kennedy) is also working the scene, alongside his wealthy client Kazzim (Russell Peters). When Bob is distracted, Kazzim seizes the opportunity to charm Terri, resulting in Bob’s relationship falling apart.
Love, Desperation and The Ultimate Wingman Challenge
Despite five months passing, Bob remains completely miserable and still desperately longs to win Terri back. Even when he attempts to move on with his life, his confidence and mojo have been completely drained, leaving Bob awkwardly fumbling from one situation to the next. Out of pure desperation, Bob eventually decides to hire a professional Wingman, choosing Turk. After an intense meeting filled with blunt and awkward questions, Turk finally accepts the challenge. However, both Bob and Turk soon realize that their new mission will not be an easy one. Can Bob learn from the greatest Wingman of all time and finally succeed, finding someone he can take fly fishing, or perhaps even win Terri back, or will he continue to fumble, fail, and spiral further downward? No matter how determined they may be, the fierce competition and strong emotions could make this the greatest challenge Turk has ever faced.
Harland Williams’ Passion Project Delivers Raunchy Laughs and Endless Chaotic Energy
Wingman is a raunchy comedy packed with ridiculous moments and plenty of random one liners. Naturally, with a title like Wingman, there are numerous Top Gun references throughout, while the overall storyline also carries strong Hitch vibes, only far naughtier and more outrageous. Harland Williams leads the film as Turk, as well as serving as the writer and director. Taking things even further, the soundtrack features original tracks, including ‘The Wingman Song’, also written and performed by Williams himself, along with another of his hilarious tracks, ‘Fire in My Pants’. Without a doubt, Williams’ character delivers the film’s biggest laughs thanks to his endless energy, hilarious sound effects, ridiculous random humour, outrageous advice, and the character’s laugh out loud “wisdom” on what it truly takes to be the ultimate WingMan. It is clear from start to finish that this is a true passion project for Williams, with his creative fingerprints all over the film.
Strong Performances and Big Laughs Cannot Save Wingman From Its Overlong Runtime
Joining Williams on screen are Jamie Kennedy and Russell Peters, both of whom bring a welcoming presence and bounce off the film’s lead exceptionally well. Although this is a raunchy comedy, I was genuinely surprised by how good the film looks, delivering sharp and crisp visuals right from the opening scenes. Although Wingman delivers several belly laughs and plenty of odd chuckles thanks to its strong leading performances, the side characters are far less comedic, often coming across as forgettable and painfully annoying as they stumble from one awkward moment to the next. Compared to the film’s leads, many of the supporting characters lack comedic chemistry, and despite being fully grown adults, the level of stupidity on display can become frustrating to sit through at times. The film starts strongly with entertaining introductions and a solid setup, but strangely, the overall duration feels far too long. By the time the story reaches its climactic finale and big showdown, I found myself already checked out, with the film ultimately overstaying its welcome.
High Octane Laughs and Raunchy Chaos Take Flight in Wingman
Overall, Wingman is a loud, raunchy comedy packed with fun energy, random one liners, Top Gun references, and even a touch of Hitch vibes. Once again, I truly admire Harland Williams leading performance and his high-octane energy, full commitment, hilarious sound effects, and over the top facial expressions. Thanks to his constant quips and reactions, he easily earns the film’s biggest laughs. Other comedic performers deserve praise too, with Jamie Kennedy and Russell Peters both delivering plenty of memorable moments. However, while the appreciation for the comedic cast is strong, not every gag lands successfully. Some jokes work wonderfully, while others fall painfully flat. The film also feels overly long for a comedy and definitely overstays its welcome at times. Certain side characters who receive a large amount of screen time are also far less enjoyable than the main crew. With high quality visuals and energetic direction from Williams, not to mention a story concept that is surprisingly fresh, brainless, wacky, silly, and highly raunchy, Wingman certainly stands out. If you are in the mood for an outrageous comedy, contact your WingMan and give this one a watch.
Wingman (2025) will be available in Australian Cinemas from May 21st thanks to Bounty Films!
