Mike
and Dave Stangle are forced to get nice wedding dates for their
sister's wedding in Hawaii and are tricked into taking two party
girls.
Mike
(DeVine) and Dave (Efron) Stangle are brother that bring out the very
best and the very worst out in each other. They are liqour salesmen
by trade but they are truly known in their family for ruining every
family gathering they attend. Wit their little sister Jeanie's
(Beard) Hawaiin wedding fast approaching, the two of them are sat
down by the rest of the family for an intervention. Once they are
shown that they ruin all family gatherings, their parents give them
an ultimatum; they must bring nice dates to Jeanie's wedding.
Unsure
how to find the prefect girls to take to Hawaii, they put an ad up on
Craigslist. Very quickly their ad goes viral and they start to
interview women to take with them. Realizing that they are not
attracting the right women due to their viral ad, they go on the
“Wendy Williams Show” where they talk about their ad then explain
what they are looking for in a nice girl.
Elsewhere,
Alice (Kendrick) is having a hard time getting over being left at the
alter by her fiancee and her best friend Tatiana (Plaza) tries to
cheer her up by taking her drinking before they go into work at their
waitressing jobs, only to be fired later that evening for showing up
to work drunk (again).
The
next day they are watching the “Wendy Williams Show” when they
see Mike and Dave talking about needing dates and Tatiana decides
that a Hawaiian vacation is just what Alice needs to pull her out of
her funk. The two girls clean themselves up and go to the bar where
the men are interviewing potential dates at. Instead of going in,
Tatiana tells Alice that they don't want to look like one of those
desperate women inside, so they wait for Mike and Dave to come out.
To get their attention, Tatiana throws herself in front of a moving
car then lets Mike believe he has saved her.
The
four of them go on a date where Tatiana pretends to be a teacher and
leads Mike on although she has no intention of sleeping with him.
Alice tells them that she is a hedge fund manager and she believes
that having sex with Dave is just the thing to help her get over her
ex. Mike and Dave, believing they have finally found the perfect
girls to take to Hawaii, they invite Tatiana and Alice to join them
as their wedding dates.
I
thought this movie was great. Honestly, if you are looking for a
stupid, funny comedy, this is one to check out. There are a few
raunchy parts but if you can handle them there should be no problem.
I
am finding more and more that I am becoming a fan of Anna Kendrick.
I mean, I have always liked her but I didn't realize before how much
I like her. And Zac Efron, what is there to say? He is gorgeous,
funny and a good actor for someone so young.
I
really don't have too much to say about this film. Say too much and
you give all the funny things about the movie away but say to little
and it doesn't sound like much of a film to watch, so I am going to
end this by saying this--
This
film is worth the watch. Watch it with a group of your closest
friends and prepare to laugh until you cry. Don't Forget the
Popcorn!
