August 11, 2022 8:56 PM

Mike and Dave are young, adventurous, fun-loving brothers who tend to get out of control at family gatherings. When their sister Jeanie reveals her Hawaiian wedding plans, the rest of the Stangles insist that the brothers bring respectable dates. After placing an ad on Craigslist, the siblings decide to pick Tatiana and Alice, two charming and seemingly normal women. Once they arrive on the island, however, Mike and Dave realize that their companions are ready to get wild and party.

The lady's are definitely the stars and the boys are the support.

This was pretty wholesome overall.

This movie has perhaps the funniest trailer I have ever seen. This movie itself is...okay.

I actually was not aware of this movie. But, I would watch Aubrey Plaza and Anna Kendrick just sitting around together, ad-libbing about the weather. They are two of the best low-key screen comedians in the business.

This was funnier than I expected it to be.

under_petticoat_rule and Thorzdad - I won't subject you all to Drinking Buddies, "This film was entirely improvised. There was no script, and the only things the actors and the crew had was a vague outline of the plot and the order in which certain events would take place.

It has Kendrick and Olivia Wilde. It's definitely not a comedy, and is still tap water when one ordered sparkling mineral.
