Highly Overrated But Still Good
Neil Welch
Mike and Dave are brothers whose shenanigans always go too far and ruin family events. With their sister's wedding coming up in Hawaii, they are instructed to find dates in the belief that this will curb their antics. And the plan might even have worked had Tatiana and Alice not seen the ad and decided that a Hawaii vacation sounded nice...This modern comedy (and when I say "modern" I mean "non-stop profanity and a preoccupation with sexual matters") features Zac Efron and Adam Devine as the two brothers, and Aubrey Plaza and Anna Kendrick as the wedding dates, and some attractive Hawaiian locations. It is often also quite funny, and if you're happy with constant profanity and a tendency to revel in sexuality at the gutter end, you're probably going to like this a lot.I enjoyed it, and there were times when it made me laugh quite a bit. And I liked both Efron and Aubrey Plaza: Plaza has mastered an on-screen persona which is attractive without being stunning, and both raunchy and funny at the same time, and she uses that quality well in this. I have reservations with both Anna Kendrick and Adam Devine, though.Kendrick is very talented. She is also a pretty girl with a nice body, and this film demanded that she show some of it. She didn't. She played the Hollywood game of talking a lot about sex but coyly showing a flash of ankle (OK, there is some minor nudity in this movie, including Plaza's *ss, but not much). Miss Kendick wears Big Knickers and I felt cheated.Adam Devine's character, big brother Mike, is a dick. He's meant to be, but it makes him the most annoying character in the film. Unfortunately, Devine is allowed - nay, encouraged - to overplay him, which turned the character (and Devine) into individuals I never wanted to see again. Ever. And this was a shame because I mostly enjoyed the movie.
The Movie Diorama
Everything here has been done before pretty much and to a better standard. Just a lazy attempt to get some money. Mike and Dave have been ordered to find dates before going to their sister's wedding. Firstly, how would getting two random dates keep these boys in check? This is what their father suggested! Secondly, there is no way that the family would pay for the flights and accommodation for these two random dates. Thirdly, two random dates to a family wedding? I mean really!? What if these dates never progressed? What would be the God damn point!! Meeting the whole family for nothing!!! Urghhhh it's such a silly premise. It would be fine if the script was poking fun out of itself but it's not, it's an entirely serious "comedy". Oh, whilst we're on the script, it was pretty terrible. Some jokes hit but it's a combination of drinking, dick and fingering jokes. I'll give the film credit, the whole scene set in the massage parlour and the ATV tour did make me laugh. So that's about 15 out of 100 minutes that were humorous. Not good enough. Zac Efron and Anna Kendrick are better than this (never thought I'd say that about Efron). They delivered well with what they were given so I have to give them credit. Aubrey Plaza plays the same "I'm drunk, horny and a bitch" role that she does for most comedies. Adam Devine...nothing divine about his performance (I'm so punny! (notice the pun in that as well)) it literally consisted of him screaming and yelling like a girl. Funny once perhaps, not thirty times. It sounds like I didn't enjoy it, it's actually watchable...if you turn your brain off. If you like crude, rude and dirty jokes then you'll enjoy this. I like to think my humour is better than that so this was not meant for me. That massage scene though...literally when those butt cheeks were rubbing together whilst swinging I proper cracked up!

This seems to be a standard for modern comedy: good-looking cast, forced jokes and terrible acting. This seems to have been written and scripted in 2 hours at best. I haven't laughed once. Jokes are classic, modern, everything but funny jokes. They attempt a joke every single scene. Jokes are being forced into the dialog. Continuous usage of similar jokes in the same scenes are failure as well. Acting is pretty terrible, I mean comedies have never been known for a top notch acting, but still this is just rubbish. It seems like modern comedy actors are chosen only by their looks. To conclude, I would never suggest someone to check this movie, it is the worst thing ever. Classic piece of commercial society.

This is a typical Sunday lazy day brainless comedy. It's a fun little story, but that's about it. There is nothing outstanding, but nor is there anything terrible in the making of this movie. It probably wont even be memorable. The leads were appropriately cast with Zac Efron, Adam Devine, Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza. Clearly performances that don't require any special talent, but nevertheless kept this film fun. It's a 7/10 from me
