Boring
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Looking through reviews I can see that I might be an exception, but I loved the movie. The story is about two brothers who need to find dates for their little sister's Hawaii wedding and make an ad. The two wild girls pretend to be good girls so they are chosen.And it is hilarious all the way through. I was really laughing out loud through most of it. It is not some super clever comedy but it makes one laugh and this is what I need from this kind of movie. We live in a bit of depressing times so it is nice to see this kind of comedy just to relax and laugh.The characters are all great. Fun people, made me remember the good times of living with my best friend and doing crazy things. And of course the fact that the actors are all talented comedians makes it even better.
The reference to "three-finger Poi" has nothing to do with one of the scenes from the movie. I gave it (3) stars for Anna Kendrick's ability to dumb herself down sufficiently for this stinker and constantly covering up her midsection whenever it was slightly visible in the flesh. The funniest person in the movie is the father of the bride who should have received more lines. Continuous slapstick comedy cannot resurrect this stringer of dead fish but they try.
I thought that the "Chris Farley" kind of comedy was gone, but apparently there are still some scriptwriters that want to resurrect it. Efron and Plaza are very talented, but their very talents were not put into good use in this movie. If anything, Efron is the only relatable character, while his brother (Devine) is ideal to play 1997's Beverly Hills Ninja (in Farley's part). Lame script, totally predictable. The scriptwriters need to get back to 1996 to write Black Sheep by Farley.
Mike (Adam Devine) and Dave (Zac Efron) are brothers who wholesale liquor to bars. They have a propensity to ruin family gatherings. When their sister Jeanie (Sugar Lyn Beard) is getting married to Eric (Sam Richardson) in Hawaii, they are required to come with dates so they don't go chasing the female guests. They place a Craig's List ad which goes viral. In a subplot Tatiana (Aubrey Plaza) and Alice (Anna Kendrick) are cocktail waitresses who like to drink and party too much which has led to their current state of unemployment. They connive a way to look sweet and innocent in order to get a free trip to Hawaii, something Alice really needs. As expected, the girls are too much like their male counterparts.The plot is basically formula. The comedy is at times crude, but tends to rise slightly above the trashy teen sex comedies. Drinking and drug humor is included. A basic fun contemporary comedy hashtag I heart Anne Kendrick.Guide: F-word, sex talk, brief sex scenes, Sugar Lyn Beard nudity with a fake beard.
