Comedy Hard-partying brothers Mike (Adam Devine) and Dave (Zac Efron) place an online ad to find the perfect dates (Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza) for their sister's Hawaiian wedding. Hoping for a wild getaway, the boys instead find themselves outsmarted and out-partied by the uncontrollable duo.

	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"No one should walk away too disappointed, but the good news is that the movie, no one should walk away too disappointed, but the good news is that the movie, while it rambles on a bit, also has a gently nutty spirit that is often quite winning."	POS
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"A smart take on dumb comedy. Aubrey Plaza shines as a foul-mouthed slob in this ensemble comedy (...) which features sparks of true hilarity. Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"This frantic, almost desperately vulgar farce panders to its intended audience by following the simple formula of making sure nearly every sentence features three or four dirty words rather than one or two. For a while, the overkill is somewhat amusing"	NEU
United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"'Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates' makes a lot of noise trying to get what it wants, but laughs here are as non-existent as an exasperated parent’s smile in the face of a screaming toddler"	NEG
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A broad, crass, and relentlessly amusing mid-summer surprise (...) may not be the first Apatow-era comedy about twentysomethings (...) but it might just be one of the funniest"	POS
United States	Edward Douglas New York Daily News	"As dumb as "Mike and Dave" can get, it's a surprisingly fun summer comedy and icing on the (wedding) cake for fans of the raunchiest of humor (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Witless, soulless, often amateurish and filled with product placements (...) the movie has nothing going for it other than some wasted talent."	NEG
United States	Stephanie Merry The Washington Post	"It's bizarre and vulgar, but also too funny to resist (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"It has the jumpy exuberance of a puppy that won't stop humping your leg. It's a bummer that the jokes don't land often enough. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates' expends a lot of energy trying to convince viewers of its edgy, outrageous impertinence. Alas, there’s very little that’s shocking (...) about this romantic comedy"	NEG
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"Filthy and hilarious (...) even the scenes that don’t really work have so much crazy energy that you have to give them credit for the effort (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
