Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates - starring Zac Efron, Adam DeVine, Anna Kendrick & Aubry Plaza. Efron & DeVine play hard partying brothers Dave & Mike Stangle, they have a habit of ruining every special occasion they attend, wich leads to an ultimatum on them to find nice girls to bring to their sisters Hawaiian wedding or to not show up at all. That leads them to place an ad in Craig's List for dates. Thanks to social media their quest for dates soon goes viral. That's were Kendrick & Plaza make their appearance, they are far from nice girls but they desperately want a free trip to Hawaii so they decide to play nice girls. Dave and Mike are immediately smitten and decide to take the girls with them to Hawaii and the wedding. It doesn't take long for the guys to figure the girls are not quite what they claimed to be. It's pretty funny, a bit raunchy, definitely not a movie for kids. Efron is okay, I wish he'd find a role where he didn't have to take his shirt off though. DeVine was probably the best part of the movie, he's got a bright future ahead of him. Anna Kendrick is serviceable, I like that she's willing to take some risks with her roles. I'm a huge Aubry Plaza fan, but it feels like all her parts are starting to feel like the same character. All in all, I was entertained, it was a nice summer romp.
I will give it 3 out of 5 stars (
*****).
TPSG Movie Rating System:
5 stars (*****) = Tremendous film, see it pronto!
4 stars (*****) = Good movie, worthy of a trip to the movie theater.
3 stars (*****) = Not bad, worthy of a Netflix watch, save yourself a trip to the theater though.
2 stars (*****) = The effort was there but it doesn't click, don't waste your time.
1 star (*****) = Avoid at all costs, this one is a real stinker.
