Review:
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates is a breezy R rated
comedy that hits most of the right beat even if it doesn’t reinvent the
wheel. Its cast is loaded with excellent
comedic actors. Adam Devine and Zac
Efron’s on screen chemistry is readily apparent which really helps the film
along. Anna Kendrick and Aubrey
Plaza are just as funny even if
they aren’t quite believable as the characters.
Kendrick in particular seems to have to a hard time taking to the role
but she’s still pretty funny through out the film. There aren’t many surprises throughout the
whole thing since it follows a pretty predictable path but you shouldn’t be expecting
some massive innovation in the genre. Still
it does it’s main job and makes you laugh during most of it’s economical run time.
