Review of Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (2016) by Tvjerry — 13 Jul 2016

Adam Devine and Zac Efron play hard-partying brothers who have to get civilized dates for their sister's wedding. As expected, they end up with an equally-wild duo (Anna Kendrick & Aubrey Plaza). The filmmakers didn't fall for the current trope of outlandish jokes and gross-out gags.

Instead, they allowed the characters (and occasional funny lines) to carry the comedy. Devine is the focus of the fun: his wacky, uninhibited antics make the movie. The others are enjoyable and add to the upbeat energy.

While this isn't a breakthru in any way, it does make for an entertaining "date.
