Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates

Comedy is getting more and more nasty and more and more funny. But it’s hard to imagine any movie more nasty-funny than Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates.

As filthy as the back of a sanitation truck — but it has heart, too. Most of the comedy is funny, some of it is hilarious.

It wants to be "Wedding Crashers," but it's not nearly as memorable, smart, or sweet.

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates is a funny-enough summer comedy that never quite breaks free from the countless raunchy iterations that have come before it.

It’s a frustrating experience; a lot of the individual gags work quite well, but they never build to anything cohesive.

Scatologically speaking, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates is best described as one of those summer movie turds: It passes easily and then disappears with a single flush. It’s crap any way you look at it, though there are less pleasant ways to spend your time on a day marked by triple-digit temperatures.

Witless, soulless, often amateurish and filled with product placements (nice going, Coors), the movie has nothing going for it other than some wasted talent.

I will admit that I only watched this movie for my love of Anna Kendrick. However, the movie as a whole was better than I was anticipating. The plot did not seem to lag, like other comedies of this nature tend to do. I do not know if this is due to four strong actors playing the bulk of the material, but I liked it. Things I didn't like was the sudden switch in moods. I will not spoil, but I thought there was a sudden attitude switch that didn't transition as well as it could have. Overall, I would recommend this movie to people who like the inappropriate comedies. I enjoyed it.

Sorry Mike and Dave, it's an Alice and Tatiana's free vacay. I should be honest that I had some good laughs, but not the overall film was impressive. For me it was a chick film, and Anna Kedrick and Aubrey Plaza are the lead actors. I really loved their parts and that's the reason I had no issue watching it, but like usual Zac Efron ruined it. I won't blame him completely, but he and Adam Devine's roles did not deliver as what the title expresses. I mean they get their wedding date, but the title should have been 'Alice and Tatiana Goes for a Free Vacay' or something like that. It was like a 'Brideamaid' kind of film, but there are too many adult jokes. The story was sort of based on the real, and that's just a joke to begin the narration. The advertisement was real, but the remaining story was fictional. From there, how the plot developed was totally makes no sense, but it does not matter because it is a comedy. Especially the initial parts, but later on, it gets better, only the comedy wise. In some way it was not bad, and not good either to recommend to others. So it is nothing more than a decent timepass film, but some people might find it most annoying. 6/10

A raunchy comedy about hard-partying brothers Mike (Adam Devine, Zac Efron) who start a public campaign to find perfect dates (Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza) for their sister’s Hawaiian wedding, so the family would be pleased for once. Supposedly based on a true story. American mainstream comedies have a lot of improvised dialogue and scenes these days which can be great. Also, as in this case, it can bring mediocre results when there’s not much content backing all that impro-ing, or the players are not able to get creative enough. In this case, there’s enough story for an unpretentious 98 minute entertainment but the dialogue remains generic and performances feel uninspired. Both leading men, Efron and Devine, have done this sort of thing so much that they're always kind of cool. But the leading ladies, Aubrey and Kendrick, don’t impress at all. They don’t develop much of a flow of their own and settle for copying the guys. Dirty jokes are not that good either, and the blissful massage section which is supposed to be one of the major setpieces, is just painfully unfunny. „Mike and Dave“ comes from the writers of „Neighbors“ and „Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising“ but offers none of the fun and energy of said comedies, not that these were true classics or anything. It certainly doesn’t help that at least three of the four leads have done this sort of thing way too much in recent past. It’s hard to get excited again when all you’re seeing is a case of SSDD.

I was very disappointed in this movie. I knew it would have slap stick humor, but too often it tried way too hard to be funny. It simply wasn't funny at all and that made it even harder to sit through the raunchy humor.
