Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (2016)

This film was horrible, even worse than Dirty Grandpa which ironically enough also starred Zac Efron and Aubrey Plaza.
Here, Mike (Adam Devine) and Dave (Zac Efron) are partiers and smooth-talking salesman who use cheap tactics to earn a living. They ruin all family gatherings with their rowdy ways. And their father (Stephen Root) is sick of it. They are ordered to bring dates, nice girls to their sister's (Sugar Lyn Beard's) Hawaii wedding. So, like all responsible adults, they post an add to Craigslist and two girls who have just as many issues as they do answer it. Alice (Anna Kendrick) and Tatiana (Aubrey Plaza) are also heavy drinkers and enjoy the recreational marijuana, among other drugs and in desperate need of a vacation. But they act nice, Tatiana is a teacher while Alice manages a hedge fund, something which she explains badly.
Naturally, this ruse doesn't last long and things turn ugly when the truth is revealed. Turns out Alice was badly wounded at her own wedding when her groom left her at the altar. And Dave actually wants to break free of his needy brother and do his own thing, draw graphic novels.
Now, everything works out in the end, with the misfits bound together to fix what they broke. Jeannie ends up getting married anyway.
The film isn't good, with the messages it tried to make falling flat. The characters have learned nothing and despite doing nothing really good in their lives until helping Jeannie get married, have a happy ending. All four of the main actors are far better than the script and have turned in far better performances in other films, and in Plaza's case, an excellent television show. They deserved far better than this dreadful film.
The supporting characters are actually slightly more interesting than the main ones, with Jeannie's groom, Eric (Sam Richardson) finally pulling a one eighty toward the end, to get everyone to realize how selfish they are, and Jeannie is also great in that scene where she is higher than a kite. And cousin Terry (Alice Wetterlund) is just an odd character in a sort of sick competition with Mike over women.
Unfortunately, this film is also barely funny, with sole scene is when the brothers argue and their mikes are on, exposing everything to the whole wedding party and guests. And it is certainly cute that Jeannie and Eric have their own secret hand clapping ritual before they kiss and make-up. These people needed to learn their lessons and grow up and the film would be better for it. Grade: C-
