Review of Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (2016) by Cumin — 14 Oct 2021
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.
