Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates: Not enough biceps, bulges, or plot
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (2016) gets a 36% on Rotten Tomatoes. A reviewer says that "It's definitely a movie to watch when you don't want to think too much."
I always want to think while watching a movie; structural analysis is the fun part. But it stars Adam Devine, whose jaw-dropping gorgeosity makes almost anything watchable, and his bromantic partner Zac Efron, who is also sort of cute, so here goes.
Scene 1: Mike (Adam) is trying to sell his brand of tequila to a bar owner, using Dave (Zac) as a plant. Except the bartender knows him -- they hang out! And the guys try this every couple of weeks. He buys the tequila anyway. The guys hug. Zac is established as heterosexual in Minute 1.
Scene 2: Montage of the guys frolicking at parties -- trampoline, fireworks, kissing girls.. Beefcake shots of both. . Cut to them returning to their apartment to find two heterosexual couples -- Mom and Dad! I'm guessing Mom and Dad got divorced and married other people, so there are four parents.
They complan that the guys keep going to parties stag, htting on girls, and ruining things. Wait -- in the montage, everyone was having fun. Nothing was ruined. Mom and Dad are being unreasonable.
Uh-oh, the montage was an unreliable narrator. A lot of those parties turned into disasters. So Mom and Dad lay down the law: at the upcoming wedding, they must each bring a date (they specify a girl). How will that keep the fireworks from destroying a camper, or grandpa from being pushed into his birthday cake?
Oh, and it turns out that the second couple is their sister Jeannie and her fiance Erik (Sam Richardson)
Character development: Mike is aggressive, easily-angered, and a schemer, while Dave is quiet, stable, and has to be talked into the craziness. Mike saved Dave from bullies when they were in school. Shouldn't Dave be saving Mike? Zac Efron is about twice as muscular as Adam Devine, and has a bigger dick, and everybody knows that you need a big dick to fight bullies.
The full review, with two nude photos (not of Adam or Zac) is on Righteous Gemstones Beefcake and Boyfriends

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (2016) dir. Jake Szymanski.
7.4/10
I wouldn't recommend this movie to my friends.
I wouldn't rewatch this movie.
I enjoyed the Long John's Silver's joke.
Wait, Mike's squeal "no" during her sister's massage was gold.
The ATV stunt the girls did were so baller.
I do think Dave is a great guy.
I can't imagine meeting a guy who is like the same person as me.

I have written 85% of a fanfic for a fandom that currently does not exist on AO3. It's nothing special, just a smut pwp fic I started at like 2am years ago but stopped once I realised there were no other fics.
I just don't know if I can be the sole fanfic in a fandom. Am I a pioneer? Can I be that guy? To boldly go where no one has gone before. To be the one to plant the seeds of a fandom. Post the only fic 6 years too late for a film that no one cares about?
Is the world ready to finally see 'Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates' fandom birthed on AO3? I just don't know.
