Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (20th Century Fox, 7/8/16) Movie

Summer comedy starring Zac Efron, Anna Kendrick, Adam DeVine, and Aubrey Plaza.

 

I am so fucking excited for this. I've been wanting a buddy movie with Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza since I found out they were friends

 

i hope this isn't bad. . or at least if its bad, a good bad.

 

I don't think it looks very good.

 

there's no way this isn't amazing.

 

Prolly gonna see it just for Kumail

 

The trailer for this that I've seen in theaters suggest this will be terrible. I'll probably still see it for Kumail too though, even though I really dislike Adam Devine.

 

This wasn't as awful as expected. It had a decent energy to it, and Anna and Aubrey were solid, but the laughs were barely there at all, which is sadly what killed it for me. There's SOME funny stuff, but not enough to warrant paying out of pocket to see this.

 

I've always really liked the four leads (Efron to a lesser extent but he was great in the Neighbors films), but since I've had to sit through the trailer before every movie I've seen this summer, I can wait to rent this on Netflix in four months.

 

I was wondering about the true story element

Lol I did not realize these guys were actual human beings.

Welp, this is the world we live in!

 

I was so curious about the "based on a true story" thing. Also, even though this doesn't look great, I love Aubrey and Zac, and like Anna a lot too. I think comedies are Zac's sweet spot lately, so I still want to see it.

Saw this today on a whim and thought it was surprisingly funny. I love the cast and for the most part there's tons of solid jokes in here. Some bits fall flat hard though. Solid 7 for me
