The TelegraphTim RobeyAug 11, 2016
Give the film this much: it’s egalitarian in its imbecility. Read full review

Time OutJoshua RothkopfJul 8, 2016
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates follows a sturdy trajectory toward incipient maturity (and ceremonial catastrophe). If you don’t think about it too hard, you won’t hate it. Read full review

The Film StageJohn FinkJul 12, 2016
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates is a funny-enough summer comedy that never quite breaks free from the countless raunchy iterations that have come before it. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliJul 8, 2016
Like much of what transpires during the course of this production, it’s just crass. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy BurrJul 7, 2016
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates lopes along with bumptious likability but no real energy, urgency, structure, or wit. Read full review

The Seattle TimesMoira MacdonaldJul 7, 2016
You’ve seen this cheery, slapdash blend of raunch, cocktails and summer dresses before. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyJul 5, 2016
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates rates medium on the grossness scale (an all-body, pre-marital naked-Indian-guru-administered massage for the bride with a happy ending, anyone?), and pretty high in crude talk. But it's kind of a dud when it comes to endurance and imaginative moves. Read full review

ConsequenceClint WorthingtonJul 6, 2016
It’s a frustrating experience; a lot of the individual gags work quite well, but they never build to anything cohesive. Read full review

EmpireJohn NugentAug 3, 2016
A strong cast can’t rescue the repetitively crude and recklessly derivative material. Mike and Dave need a lot more help than in merely finding wedding dates. Read full review

New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottJul 7, 2016
Unfortunately, director Jake Szymanski's bad-boy farce from there quickly becomes a textbook example of the law of diminishing returns. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshJul 7, 2016
On the wildly uneven rollercoaster that is Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, the lows far outweigh the highs. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzJul 7, 2016
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates gives us too much hangover and not enough buzz. Read full review

Austin ChronicleSteve DavisJul 6, 2016
Scatologically speaking, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates is best described as one of those summer movie turds: It passes easily and then disappears with a single flush. It’s crap any way you look at it, though there are less pleasant ways to spend your time on a day marked by triple-digit temperatures. Read full review

Screen DailyTim GriersonJul 6, 2016
There’s very little that’s shocking — and not nearly enough that is funny — about this romantic comedy. Read full review
