The Stangle Brothers are the life of every part they go to. Which is why every party they are at turns into a disaster by the end. When they find out that their family wants them to get dates for their sisters wedding, they are not very excited about the idea. They are told that they need to find nice girls. They put an add on Craigslist and they get every type of girl under the sun. They finally find the right girls to take with them. When they get to Hawaii they find that the nice girls they chose aren't so nice after all.

I thought I was going to hate this movie before I even went into the theater. The trailers made it seem like is was really trashy. Just like you can't just a book by its cover you can't just a movie by its trailer.

This movie actually ended up being really really funny. Yes, there were some raunchy parts but no where near as bad as the trailer made it out to be. The humor is what really held the movie together, the plot alone would not have been enough. To have a story about how you found someone on craiglist to be your date and it all worked out, without the boys needs to be the center of attention, or the drugs, or the outrageous fun, that plot would have been a really really bad romance movie. With all of the craziness this film just ended up being a feel good funny movie.
