MIKE AND DAVE NEED WEDDING DATES

“Mike and Dave may need wedding dates, but their narrative pursuit exists in a movie that’s in need of so much more to even consider it worthy of your time.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston

“The plot doesn’t really make sense, and the characters are forgettable.” – Deirdre Crimmins, Cinematic Essential

“In a year where a Presidential candidate brags about his genital size in the midst of a debate it’s quite possible we have not yet hit bottom.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“Although, as in the TOY STORY films, the main premise is that the characters have complicated lives when the humans aren’t around, what we really learn from THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS is that they need us as much as we need them.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“There’s no inspiration here, just prosaism. Not every animation outfit can be Pixar, of course, but they should have more imagination than this.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine
