The cast of new comedy Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates is growing again, this time adding someone with real comedy chops. Parks And Recreation’s Aubrey Plaza is aboard as one of the titular dates.
Zac Efron and Adam DeVine are set as a sibling duo who, in a tale snatched from a real-life event, put up an ad on Craigslist in an attempt to find dates for a wedding. The immature party animals end up with two beautiful women who are crazier than they are, and chaos ensues. Anna Kendrick is playing one of the women they meet, a wild child with a sweetly romantic nature who clicks with Efron’s character, while we presume Plaza will now be the person who pairs off with DeVine.
Jake Szymanski, a veteran of Funny Or Die’s online output, is in the director’s chair for the film, scripted by Bad Neighbors’ Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O’Brien.
Since finishing the final (sniff) season of Parks, Plaza has been busy making movies such as Hal Hartley’s Ned’s Rifle, Fresno and The Driftless Area. She’s also part of the cast for Dirty Grandpa, which just so happens to feature Efron.
