I gotta be honest. I really wasn’t planning on seeing this movie but the one that I was going to see, Finding Dory, was canceled due to an air conditioning issue or something. And I am definitely glad they canceled it if the air conditioner wasn’t going to work. Perhaps I will see it next week. So, since we go early on Tuesdays {only $5 a ticket} and not all of the movies play early, I had only a few movies to choose from. Luckily, I like both Zac Efron and Anna Kendrick, so I decided to see Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates.

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates Review

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates stars two underachieving, codependent, man-boys {Zac Efron & Adam Devine} who are pretty much a disgrace to their family. When confronted, Mike and Dave are shocked to find out that they actually ruin family social events instead of being the party starters that they see themselves as. Their little sister is getting married and Mike and Dave are requested to bring nice girls as dates in hopes that this will keep them both occupied and out of trouble. So, naturally, they take out a Craigslist ad and go on the Wendy Williams show looking for potential dates. So when Mike and Dave find two opportunistic “nice girls” {played by Anna Kendrick & Aubrey Plaza} to bring to the wedding, the family has no idea what is in store for them.

My Thoughts

I really didn’t think I would find this movie very entertaining. I am almost 40 and it didn’t seem marketed toward my demographic, after all. I have to admit, though, that it really has some funny parts. I think Zac Efron is great at playing comedic roles, as is Anna Kendrick. She always comes across very likable to me in movies. So, if you are looking for a funny movie, this is a good choice. I also found Aubrey Plaza’s dry, sarcastic brand of humor quite funny. I will have to look for more movies with her in it now.

Having said that, there are some really, really gratuitous sex scenes and a lot of nudity. I feel this movie is marketed towards a younger crowd but I would really think hard about whether I want my young teen to see it or not if I were you. Twenty somethings are fine. I also think the older crowd {like me} who still love the American Pie franchise will enjoy this movie. I would give it 3.5 to 4 stars and would definitely watch it again.
