We’re really not sure what to make of this tweet from actor and comedian Chris Rock where he compares Kevin Hart’s new comedy, “The Wedding Ringer,” to the Oscar-nominated “American Sniper”:
The wedding ringer is way funnier than American sniper . Kev hart funnier than ever. http://t.co/hRm2P6oPFy

Um, duh?
But maybe Rock’s tweet has something to do with this…
@chrisrock American Sniper isn't a comedy. I'll bet American Sniper makes more money in 1 weekend than Wedding Ringer does total.

We’d take that bet.
“American Sniper” is breaking records and set for a $90 million opening weekend while “The Wedding Ringer” is a distant second at an estimated $21 million.
But regardless of what Chris Rock was trying to do, it was a stupid comment to make. And worse for the professional funny-man, not very funny:
