Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates is a good movie with a reasonably well developed plot and a terrific comedic cast. The highlight of the entire movie ls certainly the cast itself, the chemistry between Zac Efron and Adam Devine makes it all worthwhile, they are very convincing as brothers.

As well as that, their is a natural connection between the lead actresses, Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza, who are fiercely entertaining as two rebellious girls, certainly different from Kendrick's previous roles.

The humour was, at times, tasteless. There is several innuendos, drug abuse and moments of sexual endeavours that simply came across as immature comedy that only young teenagers could really laugh at.

Some of the films major plot points are also very absurd. For something that is suppose to be loosely based on a true story there is not a whole lot of realism, such as one of the girls throwing herself in front of a vehicle to get a guy's attention and a particularly discomforting masseuse scene, it was ridiculously exaggerated at times. Funny and with a charming cast, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates may have its flaws but if you are looking for an enjoyable adult comedy, i's worth the watch.

Two brothers must search for dates for their sister's wedding in order to keep them under control, but the two girls they find have other ideas.

Best Performance: Adam Devine / Worst Performance: Alice Wetterlund
