WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Brothers Mike (DeVine) and Dave (Efron), who frequently ruin family events with their crazy antics, are forced to shape up for their sister Jeanie’s (Wetterlund) upcoming wedding in Hawaii by bringing dates. Word about their search soon reaches slacker friends Tatiana (Plaza) and Alice (Kendrick), who after acting more civilised and respectable than they actually are manage to secure Mike and Dave as their wedding dates. However, once they reach Hawaii, the brothers realise their dates are crazier than they first thought…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Zac Efron stars in his third raunchy comedy of the year (does he have it in his contract now?), in which even he and co-star Adam DeVine could be overshadowed by two strong comedic performances by Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza.
