Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates is a 2016 American romantic comedy film directed by Jake Szymanski and written by Andrew Jay Cohen and Brendan O'Brien.

Alice, who is pretending to be a hedge fund manager, thinks sleeping with Dave is just what she needs to get over her ex-fiancé, who left her at the altar.

Dave finds himself falling for Alice, while Mike and their bisexual female cousin Terry, begin competing for Tatiana's attention.

High on ecstasy, Jeanie and Alice get naked and release a corral of horses, while Tatiana apologizes to Mike; they relate over how similar they are.

The brothers perform a heartfelt duet to celebrate Jeanie's marriage; Alice and Tatiana then join them for a raunchy dance number.

The film is based on a real event in which brothers Mike and Dave Stangle posted a humorous ad looking for wedding dates on Craigslist.

[6] The Stangles had a friend, Jay Barbeau, who worked at the Creative Artists Agency and, after the ad became popular, helped the brothers sign both a film and a book deal.

[6] In January 2015, Zac Efron joined the cast of the film,[7] and by that February Adam DeVine was reported to be in negotiations.

[8] DeVine was initially insecure about starring alongside Efron, due to the difference in physique stating, "I was working so hard to get into great shape, because I was going to have to stand next to him.

[10][11] In May 2015, Stephen Root joined the cast of the film, portraying the role of Efron and DeVine's characters' father.

[12] Principal photography began on May 25, 2015, and lasted through August 13, 2015,[13] much of it on location at the Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of the island of Oahu, Hawaii.

The site's critics consensus reads, "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates benefits from the screwball premise and the efforts of a game cast, even if the sporadically hilarious results don't quite live up to either.

The Guardian wrote, "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates is very much an ensemble comedy, but much like A Fish Called Wanda earned Kevin Kline the Oscar, Plaza’s ineffable style of comedy (which weirdly teeters between broad farce and muted disinterest) suits the material so perfectly she leaves the others in the dust.
