Good, Raunchy Fun

Warning: Spoilers
I saw "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates", starring Zac Efron-Dirty Grandpa, The Lucky One; Adam Devine-the Pitch Perfect movies, Mama's Boy; Anna Kendrick-the Pitch Perfect movies, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and Aubrey Plaza-Dirty Grandpa, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

This is an 'R' rated comedy that is based on a true story, sort of-At least that is what it says in the opening credits-that happened in 2013. Mike & Dave Stangle are two real life brothers that are the text book definition of party animals. When their sister is getting married, she wants them to shape up and play nice, at least during her wedding. Zac & Adam play the Stangle brothers and at every family get together, they take partying to the limits and beyond, usually with things ending in explosions or something being burned to the ground. After their parents and sister hold a family meeting-more like an intervention-to get them to act nice, Zac & Adam decide that their best chance to shape up is to go on Craigslist and place an ad, saying that they need 2 nice girls to take to their sister's wedding-all expenses paid in Hawaii. Of course they are deluged with offers-who doesn't want a free trip to Hawaii?-but the lucky winners are Anna & Aubrey. The only problem? Anna & Aubrey turn out to be party animals in sheep's clothing-They are just pretending to be good girls for the free trip, of course. The humor is really 'R' rated material, so if you are easily offended by such then you might be better off seeing something else. I enjoyed it and thought it was good, raunchy fun . During the end credits, there are some out takes & bloopers. It's rated "R" for language, drug use and sexual content-including nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 38 minutes. I would buy this on DVD.
