Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates

Two carefree brothers post a Craigslist ad to find proper dates for their sister’s Hawaiian wedding, only to discover the charming strangers they hire are just as party‑ready as they are. As chaos erupts on the island, they must keep the celebration—and their reputations—from spiraling out of control.

They needed hot dates. They got hot messes.

Synopsis

Mike and Dave are young, adventurous, and fun-loving brothers known for their tendency to lose control during family gatherings. When their sister Jeanie announces her wedding in Hawaii, the rest of the Stangles insist that the brothers bring respectable dates. The family places an ad on Craigslist, and after reviewing responses, they choose Tatiana and Alice, two charming and seemingly normal women. However, once they arrive on the island, Mike and Dave discover that their companions are eager to party and embrace wild behavior.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 65+ credited

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 2.3× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
