Dave Need Wedding Dates

Zac Efron’s career has been defined by stereotypical roles - whether they’re Disney related or dirty comedy related. You may know him from a variety of specific roles, but these days you’ll only find him taking part in raunchy comedies that constantly give him ample opportunities to take her shirt off and parade around like an animal attraction in a zoo (it’s hard to believe he wasn’t cast in Magic Mike).

Sure, that might be great for his admirers, and don’t get me wrong, Efron has established solid acting credentials - but that doesn’t change the fact that these immature films that he constantly takes part in are getting horribly redundant. He can be the nice guy (Dirty Grandpa) or he can be the enemy (Neighbors) - either way, his characters’ make-up is always the same old hash.

In the comedy, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, directed by Jake Szymanski (feature length debut), Adam DeVine and Zac Efron stars as Mike and Dave Stangle (respectively) - two brothers that have a habit of riling each other up at parties. Their antics have been so
Thus, it’s way more fun to knock this film than to pick out the brief (and I do mean brief) glimmers of light that barely manage to sneak through the dark void that is this unfunny monstrosity. Who the more diminishing actor is - out of Zac Efron, Adam DeVine, Anna Kendrick, and Aubrey Plaza, is clearly a roll of the dice. The acting is exasperating - as is the general film itself. There’s nothing special about the plot, and if there’s only one meaningful thing to take away from this film - it’s that this is a perfect example of how to make a dumb, artless movie. In the end, I implore you to avoid this film - even if you - as I did - thought the movie trailer looked funny. You’ll be doing yourself and your pocketbook a monumental
