The four leads are all very funny, but there is a seemingly endless list of very funny supporting actors which really make the film. The dude from Veep (groom), the cousin, the guy from Silicon Valley (masseur) are all amazing in this film. And I'll say it - Zac Efron is a funny dude. He was solid in Dirty Grandpa, and he 's a solid leading actor here.… Expand

They were all funny and worked well together. The romance between Efron and Kendrick and the attempted romance between Devine and Plaza were what made the movie as funny as it was. At some points during the movie, the jokes were over the top, but never too much. They usually found there way back around and it became more realistic. This is not a movie necessarily with a good plot, but it does provide viewers with a good laugh and some funny, raunchy comedy. If you're looking to sit back, relax, laugh, and not worry about thinking for awhile, I would recommend Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Efron and Levine are hilarious together and for some reason they made me think of younger versions of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly from step brothers with a sprinkle of RickyBobby/Cal from Talladega nights. Aubrey Plaza and Anna Kendrick are just as off kilter as those two, with a little bit of the wedding crashers mixed in. Plaza had fantastic comedic timing and was just all around hilarious. The support actors (playing family members, friends, resort staff) and comedians were all fantastic and some of the scenes and lines were just balls out funny. I think there was only one character that I thought was out of place (the cousin with some funny zingers) and I felt like Kendrick, while a good compliment to her costars for most of the film she was put in situations that have been done in other films but much better (if you're going to do a person being "inappropriately high at the wrong time" scene, it can't be subpar when cheech and chong, will Ferrell, martin, dave Chappelle, channing tatum and Michael Cera among others have done it way better. So it was like they threw in a situation or two that didn't really work (it didn't detract from the movie, but I think they could've did it a little bit better or just left it out).This film is funny and is good for those who aren't really into the overly gratuitous Sacha Baron Cohen film but still want something closer to college humor.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Surprisingly funny!

I wasn't terribly excited for the comedy of this film, simply because the trailers seemed to splice scenes at awkward moments - but I was laughing hysterically for nearly the whole film! The relationship between the four leads was both funny and heartwarming, and while the comedy took a crude turn at times, it never stretched reality so far that I was taken out of the moment. Sidenote - the girl who plays "little Genie" absolutely blew me away with her performance! Very unexpected! Overall the film was nicely cast, save for a few roles that required very specific looks. Great suspense and soundtrack, great location, and great costuming!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Laugh-out-loud funny from beginning to end.

Based on the poor reviews the movie had on Xfinity, I had pretty low expectations going in - figured it would be crude, unfunny, but sort of a light way to pass an hour and a half. Boy was I wrong. It was hysterical! From beginning to end, I laughed hysterically. I loved the writing, the jokes and the overall intelligence behind the plot.

The basic premise is that these two brothers are screwups, and their father is making them calm down and get dates so they don't mess up their sister's wedding. But unfortunately...that plan goes way wrong when the girls they bring are even wilder, and crazier, than them.

So funny, really lightened up the weekend. I highly recommended to all comedy fans.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Funny and surprisingly full of enough real emotion to make it more than just another carbon copy comedy. "Over the years of our family gatherings, you two show up and you ruin it. I want you to bring a date to your sisters wedding." Mike (Devine) and Dave (Efron) have a bad history of partying too hard and family functions and causing things to go terrible. They make a promise to their sister to find respectable girls to bring and be on their best behavior. They meet Alice (Kendrick) and Tatiana (Plaza) and think they found the perfect dates, but the girls aren't exactly who they seem. This is a very funny movie. More than that though, the movie has heart and that only adds to the overall feel of the movie. On the surface this is just another sex comedy that has many of the same ideas as other movies but the bits of seriousness and heart really help the movie become more than that. I laughed out loud many times in this and have to say that this was surprisingly one of the better comedies I have seen in the last year or so.… Expand

"Mike and Dave Need Wedding" é, no geral, uma comédia insana, estúpida e difícil de ser corretamente compreendida. O filme é engraçadíssimo e os atores fizeram um trabalho razoável (exceto Plaza).

Yet it makes the most of it's four way team of Efron, Kendrick, Plaza, and Devine. They all bounce off of each other nicely. What really makes the movie work though is several, unbelievable set pieces that set a new high bar for dirtiness and shock value in comedies. Lately it seems like every R-rated comedy is trying to one up the rest in some way or another. Usually they try too hard and it ends up getting in the way of the actual humor. Not here though. I haven't seen a comedy that hits this level of vulgarity while still making me laugh in the process.

The plot is kind of bare as it's a sort of "we need to save the wedding and also grow up in the process" set-up. The sub-plots are actually pretty good here. One of the best goes to the bride-to-be's struggle with letting loose. A girl's just got to have fun sometimes, and seeing her try to cut loose leads to some of the movie's most outrageous and hilarious gags. Kendrick gets a nice one as well dealing with abandonment and heartbreak. Everyone else deals with things like insecurities and not being able to let go of one another and make their own path. It may all be pretty basic, but it's a little heart to the film to go alongside all of the filth.

Not everything is perfect though. They fire off a lot of lines here and not all of them are funny. Particularly early on. Devine is sometimes given some way too over-the-top moments like a particular crying scene with Jim Carrey-esque facial expressions that just feel out of place. Kendrick's character can also be a little too cartoonish to fit along as well. Efron and Plaza are perfect though. Carrying scenes where the other two are held back.

A comedy that will definitely surprise you with how far it is willing to go. However, it is likely also to surprise you just as much with how easily it can make you laugh. With four hilarious people center-stage and a great selection of supporting cast members and cameos to back them up, it's hard to not be pulled in by the amount of comedic talent onscreen. Especially since they are given some great, shocking stuff to work with.… Expand

Instead, they allowed the characters (and occasional funny lines) to carry the comedy. Devine is the focus of the fun: his wacky, uninhibited antics make the movie. The others are enjoyable and add to the upbeat energy. While this isn't a breakthru in any way, it does make for an entertaining "date."… Expand

Good comedy, did lack a bit and wasn't one of my favorites, but I like Aubrey Plaza and she made this movie a lot more fun. Either way, I liked that it was something different that unusual.

It looked like derivative, unfunny garbage from what I'd seen on previews. But my wife and I watched it b/c I'd already rented it on Google Play Movies for my cousin to watch and he didn't and it was about to expire.

We were pleasantly surprised. The plot, though based on a true story, it contrived and serves only to get the characters to Hawaii for a wedding farce that feels sweet and old-fashioned at times, but which is also crass without crossing the line.

Aubrey Plaza and Anna Kendrick play "bad girls" that a pretty two-dimensional. It takes until the end of the movie before they (especially Plaza's character) have any real depth or motivation whatsoever. And that's partly the point--that they're vapid losers trying to scam the guys out of a vacation. But by the end they are given some depth and throughout the movie they are both serviceably funny. Plaza's accent though (ebonics? Jersey? hard to tell) comes and goes and is gone by the end of the movie. Her schtick from Parks & Rec's April Ludgate comes through here (dry, sarcastic, cold) but is not as funny on the big screen. She could benefit by being a little more human. Anna Kendrick seems out of place playing a "bad girl" but she does a decent job with what she's given.

Once the cast gets to Hawaii, the movie is a pretty generic mix of Wedding Crashers (which is referenced in the movie), Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and half a dozen other movies. The hijinks are not surprising, the plot is very predictable, and nothing will surprise you.

What makes the movie good, though, is what the cast does with the material. Zack Efron is actually very funny, but Adam Devine steals the show. I love Workaholics, and if you don't you might not feel the way I did, but his manic, hammy, over-the-top schtick comes across as sweet, genuine, earnest, well-meaning, and most of all... hilarious. So much humor today involves insults and people generally being terrible to one another. But he plays his character as very good natured (despite some quick lines that could be mean, but seem corny) and weird enough not to seem generic. The two guys play well off each other and they and the rest of the cast ad lib a lot of really funny lines. I laughed out loud a couple dozen times, which is a lot for me given recent comedies. And sometimes I'd still be laughing at something a minute or two later. Some of the comedy is pretty multi-layered for such a basic movie.

The supporting cast is very solid. Stephen Root as the dad is great. Kumail Nanjiani as a masseuse had me cracking up. And I can't finish the review without mentioning Alice Wetterlund as "Cousin Terry," or, as Devine calls her at one point, "Bisexual Fonzie." She has 3-4 scenes, but steals them all. Her character doesn't fit in and is kind of throwaway, but she's consistently hilarious every time she's on screen.

All in all, definitely worth a rental. Despite the good-naturedness of the movie, it is really raunchy. Foul language throughout, nudity, sexual acts, and prevalent, so heads up. Don't watch it with grandma.… Expand
