bdo-lara I thought that the "Chris Farley" kind of comedy was gone, but apparently there are still some scriptwriters that want to resurrect it. Efron and Plaza are very talented, but their very talents were not put into good use in this movie. If anything, Efron is the only relatable character, while his brother (Devine) is ideal to play 1997's Beverly Hills Ninja (in Farley's part). Lame script, totally predictable. The scriptwriters need to get back to 1996 to write Black Sheep by Farley.

The Movie Diorama Everything here has been done before pretty much and to a better standard. Just a lazy attempt to get some money. Mike and Dave have been ordered to find dates before going to their sister's wedding. Firstly, how would getting two random dates keep these boys in check? This is what their father suggested! Secondly, there is no way that the family would pay for the flights and accommodation for these two random dates. Thirdly, two random dates to a family wedding? I mean really!? What if these dates never progressed? What would be the God damn point!! Meeting the whole family for nothing!!! Urghhhh it's such a silly premise. It would be fine if the script was poking fun out of itself but it's not, it's an entirely serious "comedy". Oh, whilst we're on the script, it was pretty terrible. Some jokes hit but it's a combination of drinking, dick and fingering jokes. I'll give the film credit, the whole scene set in the massage parlour and the ATV tour did make me laugh. So that's about 15 out of 100 minutes that were humorous. Not good enough. Zac Efron and Anna Kendrick are better than this (never thought I'd say that about Efron). They delivered well with what they were given so I have to give them credit. Aubrey Plaza plays the same "I'm drunk, horny and a bitch" role that she does for most comedies. Adam Devine...nothing divine about his performance (I'm so punny! (notice the pun in that as well)) it literally consisted of him screaming and yelling like a girl. Funny once perhaps, not thirty times. It sounds like I didn't enjoy it, it's actually watchable...if you turn your brain off. If you like crude, rude and dirty jokes then you'll enjoy this. I like to think my humour is better than that so this was not meant for me. That massage scene though...literally when those butt cheeks were rubbing together whilst swinging I proper cracked up!

lojitsu Here's a Better Late than Never review of "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates" (R - 2016 - US)...You look like burn unit Barbie!!Genre: Comedy/PhysicalMy Score: 6.4Cast=8 Acting=5 Plot=5 Ending=6 Story=4 Funny=7 Chem=8 Script=4 Physical=7 Ad-lib=10Two immature brothers place an ad on Craigslist to find the perfect dates for their sister's Hawaiian wedding. Cue in two unemployed girls who pretend to be exactly what the boys are looking for."He looks like a funhouse mirror version of a better looking guy". I'm pretty sure someone said that about me. This was a funny and stupid combination of "Wedding Crashers" and "Neighbors". I liked the chemistry with the leads, but what stood out for me was the ad-libs. The Blu-ray is magic with all the gag reel/line-o-rama stuff...that was hilarious!! This is worth a watch if you can drop some brain cells before you put it in your player.

sbsieber I know this is a low brow movie; I know the jokes are lame, and the humour is often offensive. I know it is formulaic, and the wedding theme has been done to death, but I couldn't help but like this movie. In spite of all its flaws, I enjoyed it and actually laughed many times throughout. I think its charm is due to the characters and their relationships to each other. These are people, albeit cartoonish people, who have a real love and affection for each other: the brothers have a strong connection and they deeply love their little sister, who is a wonderfully fresh personality, and her fiancé is a breath of fresh air in a genre full of clichés - a cautious, nerdy, introspective, good-hearted man who loves his wife- to-be more than anything in the world. The parents love their children despite their exasperation. There is lots of action and the actors play their parts with energy and affection for the characters - nobody is phoning it in. I would say the only weakness was with the wedding dates themselves, played by Aubrey Plaza, and Anna Kendrick. I'm lukewarm about both actresses and did not really like the characters they played - too mean and too stupid to be believed.
