Review of Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (2016) by Skeptic303 — 18 Oct 2016

Mike and Dave was a raunchy comedy (The fifth one of this year if I am correct) that ultimately wasn't good. For starters, the characters were just the typical run-of-the-mill goofballs that are most common with comedies and they learn a thing or two about being mature (don't they always?).

That's the problem with this movie: it's all clock-work and routine. It's obvious what will happen; it always happens with raunchy comedies. This has prompted me to ask whether raunchy comedy and juvenile humor, like found-footage, are meant to be gimmicks, as it doesn't seem like they can support an entire movie.

What more can I say? It wasn't funny (except for one scene), the characters and plot were rather dull and uninteresting, and the movie functions as a display for all of Hollywood to emphasize the problem with raunchy comedies. Despite some valuable moments and a bit of entertainment value, I can't grant Mike and Dave anything more than a seal of expendability.
