Re: Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
Mike And Dave Need Alice And Tatiana is undoubtedly hilariousy when it really gets running with a gag, and is a pretty darn good movie though it does lack a little oomph in the writing department. The four leads make a great comedy ensemble. A bit tighter edit could take it up another half a grade. *A-*

Re: Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
This was a blast! A highly enjoyable summer romantic comedy with a handful of hilarious scenes and a surprising amount of heart. I thought all four of the leads were great and had fantastic chemistry with one another - they definitely elevate this from feeling like something more pedestrian. Aubrey Plaza was great in particular and stole every scene she was in. It's a great way to spend an hour and a half. A-

Re: Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
It's all pretty ridiculous, but this is a raucous good time. Zac Efron and Adam Devine are both solid (and Efron is as mind blowingly hot as ever), but Aubrey Plaza and Anna Kendrick run away with this one. In a post-Bridesmaids world, we actually have a bro comedy where the women are allowed to outraunch the men. And it works. B

Re: Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
Well that's disappointing . I think I'll see this Thursday along with Secret Life of Pets and Ghostbusters.

Re: Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
Funny, but I stopped caring once you're supposed to give a shit about the characters.
B-
It'll make for a perfect TBS movie in a couple of years though. I could really see myself enjoying it then.

Re: Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
I thought it was pretty amusing although for some reason the movie doesn't gel as well as it could've. The cast is game but there was something missing in the material I can't really pinpoint.

Re: Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
Hysterical. I laughed a lot and often. The cast was awesome. Aubrey Plaza and Anna Kendrick steal the show but the guys are great too, especially Adam DeVine. This deserves the same success Wedding Crashers had.
8/10 (A-)

Re: Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
Are Anna Kendrick or Aubrey Plaza in any stages of undressed here? :-D

Re: Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
This was a really entertaining comedy. Maybe not a classic, but I enjoyed more than either of the Neighbors movies. Efron/Plaza are used much here than they were in Bad Grandpa and all four leads definitely had great chemistry.

Re: Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
This movie is so funny. It should have done a lot better than it did. Rewatching it now.

Re: Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
It works as a spiritual successor to Wedding Crashers. Some of the bits aren't nearly as the writers think they are, but it has enough heart to make up for it. All of the leads are good too. I'm still not a huge Adam Devine fan but he and Aubrey are cute together.
