The film tells the story of Mike and Dave Stangle, two young, adventurous, fun-loving brothers who put out an ad for dates to their sister's wedding, only to find themselves outsmarted and out-partied by two uncontrollable women.
Were it a bit more absurd, it might function as a surrealistic commentary on the romantic comedy genre. As it stands, however, it's just a boring comedy.
You never quite believe these women belong with Devine and Efron's Hollywood-generic douche bags -- it feels like a failure of the script, if not the entire industry. If you don't think about it too hard, you won't hate it.
There's nothing clever here. The filmmakers believe that broad, obvious gags, pratfalls, and profanity-laced tirades are inherently funny. They're not.
Doesn't even convincingly craft its own internal reality. There are no rules or character motivations, words come out of Zac Efron's mouth when it isn't moving, and Anna Kendrick's wig changes color seemingly at random.
