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. Written by

Near the end of the movie when Anna Kendrick is lying on the white bench in one shot you can see her bare feet while The very next shot she can be seen wearing pink flip flops. The last shot she can be seen with bare feet again. See more »
This dumb comedy has a few laughs, but ultimately is unsatisfying. Adam Devine and Zac Efron play a couple of dufuses who are forced by their sister (Sugar Lyn Beard) and father (Stephen Root) to find dates for her Hawaiian wedding. The brothers post an ad on Craigslist which goes viral (this much of the film was based on a true story). They soon attract two sloppy potheads, Aubrey Plaza and Anna Kendrick, who pretend to be normal, upstanding ladies to win the trip. When they get there, their baser natures soon fly free. The four of them get into a bunch of trouble. I saw this mainly for Kendrick and Plaza, who are both funny and extremely sexy in the film. Of the two guys, Devine gets a few good moments. Efron doesn't get much to do at all, which is disappointing considering his excellent turn earlier this year in Neighbors 2. The main problem here is a lack of ambition. The cast is game, but the screenwriter (and I'm sure the army of punch-uppers behind the scenes) don't give them enough funny jokes. It wouldn't be a bad way to waste a Sunday afternoon, but I wouldn't make an effort, either.
