Someone Marry Barry is a bad taste romantic comedy where the protagonist (Barry) is obnoxious, rude and an embarrassment to his friends who have grown up and he has not.
The only way they think he can be dealt with if he was fixed up with a girlfriend who will mature him and in a twist of circumstances via a cameo from Ed Helms he hooks up with an English girl, Melanie who is equally crude and obnoxious and they get on like a house on fire. In fact somewhere along the line a house does catch fire!
Tyler Labine and British actress Lucy Punch have great fun as Barry and Mel with the rude, crude behaviour which fits a more British slapstick style of low brow humour.
However the film is not very funny apart from a farting scene in a van.

Slapstick Barry
great premise. it's okay.
Tyler Labine is Barry, the really annoying pal to Desmond, Rafe, and Kurt (Wayans Junior, MacArthur, and Middleditch). This movie is and will be exactly what you expect. Hayes MacArthur sounds just like Michael Keaton. So the friends decide to hook Barry up with someone. Anyone. They try dating services. They try marrying euro-women. Lots of swearing! And when he meets a chick just as tacky and rude as he is, it's love at first sight! Lucy Punch is Melanie, who can dish it out as well as Barry! So the gang all goes off on a weekend getaway. And it all blows up. Can the friends all recover, as they go through their various personal issues? Its corny. And okay. It's a cross between an adam sandler and a bachelor party in vegas. Written and directed by Rob Pearlstein. This appears to be his first full length film directed. He was nominated for best short film in 2006.
Funny Character Barry
He is frank and says whatever everyone is thinking but too afraid to say out loud. He is also an idiot and his friends have had enough with his shenanigans. He gets Desmond fired by talking to the boss about this girl that Desmond thinks while having se* and pictures this girl while he climaxes. Turns out that was the boss' daughter. Barry also gets caught jerking off to a picture of Kurt's girlfriend in a slideshow that was meant to be used as a proposal. Kurt says that it is a surprise waiting for her inside the house and boy was it a surprise. Barry was like It is what it looks like. For some reason he decides to hug them even though his pants were down. So naturally she dumps Kurt. When the guys were plotting to somehow get rid of barry Kurt keeps talking about murdering Barry which was friggin' hilarious. But the real comedy begins when Barry meets female Barry. The couple were adorable in their frank and vulgar way which not only beats the point of Barry's friends trying to get him married so he would be put on a leash by Barry's wife or at the least he would be her problem or he would be too busy to bother the guys but now there are two Barrys one for each gender which they find out in a trip they make to the cabin. This is where the plot gets a little slow, sad etc. In the end it is just an average romcom but with plenty of laugh out loud moments. It also ends with the introduction of Barry's very own Barry. Enjoyable.
