“It doesn’t get any better than being able to honor three incredibly talented comedic actors and CinemaCon delegates will be in for a great time this year when we single out Zac, Anna and Adam,” stated Mitch Neuhauser, Managing Director of CinemaCon. “With impressive careers already on the big and small screen, our 2016 Comedy Stars of the Year are sure to have audiences in stitches this summer when Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates hits our theaters.”


Fox will be releasing Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates in theaters on July 8, 2016. The comedy was directed by Jake Szymanski (7 Days in Hell) and also features Aubrey Plaza and Stephen Root.

The Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates Plot: Hard-partying brothers Mike (Adam Devine) and Dave (Zac Efron) place an online ad to find the perfect dates (Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza) for their sister’s Hawaiian wedding. Hoping for a wild getaway, the boys instead find themselves outsmarted and out-partied by the uncontrollable duo.
