'Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates' Film Review
'Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates' was a film that I definitely wanted to check out, just not in the theatre. After checking it out, it was an ok film. It had a bunch of funny moments, jokes, and gags that had me laughing. It was over the top in terms of how far they took some of the bits and vulgarity.
Zac Efron just has that feel of his character from 'Neighbors' and 'Dirty Grandpa' and Adam Devine can be a bit much at times, though I do love him in 'Workaholics'. I wasn't a huge fan of Anna Kendrick or Aubrey Plaza, I just feel like they were a bit off. I did like the alternate take on the "rom com" genre, as the film is filled with sex jokes and foul language. The supporting cast did a nice job to fill out the characters, who overall were funny, despite the issues stated above.
For an R-rated comedy, this film did its job in entertaining me and making me laugh, which outweighs any of my issues with the small things. For a fun, dumb comedy, I would recommend checking this one out.
The film has a 36% critic rating and a 63% audience rating and went on to make $$73.9 million worldwide on a $33 million budget, leaving the door wide open for a sequel.
My rating: 7 out of 10
