Mike (Adam Devine) and Dave (Zac Efron) are brothers who are prone to over-enthusiastic partying. In fact, they have ruined many a family gathering with their wild ways. Sister Jeanie (Sugar Lyn Beard) is soon to marry Eric (Sam Richardson) in a destination wedding in Hawaii. Dad (Stephen Root) lays down the law and tells the brothers that they must bring respectable dates to the wedding to keep them in line or else. They post an add on Craigslist and soon they are a viral sensation appearing on the Wendy Williams show. Alice (Anna Kendrick) and Tatiana (Aubrey Plaza) - pretty much aimless, party girls - catch the show and soon plot how they can get a free trip to Hawaii. They put on their finest (stolen) clothes, arrange a meet cute with the boys and soon are on the way to Hawaii. Hijinks ensue. Only, these girls can give as good as they get and soon the brothers are outsmarted and out-partied in every way. Can everyone come together in time to save the day for Jeanie or have the brothers ruined yet another family gathering?

This movie is very crude and over-the-top. But, I still laughed out loud and thought it was funny (maybe even when I shouldn't have). The Husband thought it was funny in parts but just too rough in places. Some scenes (particularly the massage scene) are just hysterically funny. Then, some parts make you cringe. I thought Adam Devine and Zac Efron were hilarious. Some day, it would be funny to see them in something PG-13 rated where they had to work a little harder without using the crude language and sight gags. They are so funny. Anyway, I think I was just ready for something light and fun and this fit the bill. It won't win any awards and you might get embarrassed but you will laugh. If you liked Bridesmaids or The Hangover, then this is in a similar vein. Not as good, but very funny. Go see it.
