MIKE AND DAVE NEED WEDDING DATES Director: Jake Szymanski Starring: Zac Efron, Adam Devine, Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza, Stephen Root, Stephanie Faracy, Sugar Lyn Beard, Marc Maron, Kumail Nanjiani We’ve all been to that wedding where there’s some obnoxious family member or groomsman that’s had one too many drinks at the open bar and proceeds to make a scene.

Everyone seems to be moving on from their days of ruining each other’s lives. Teddy is at a crossroadsRead More →

THAT AWKWARD MOMENT Director: Tom Gormican Starring: Zac Efron, Michael B.

He got married at a really young age, and now his wife Vera (Lucas) wants a divorce and is sleeping with her lawyer. His two best friends Jason (Efron) and Daniel (Teller) are still living the single life and are excited to haveRead More →
