Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates - Ultra HD Blu-ray

'Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates' was shot completely on location in Hawaii using both Arri Alexa and Red Dragon digital equipment. It is presented on home video in the 2.39:1 aspect ratio. The 4K version of the movie is one of those rare cases where the HDR boost may hurt the film more than help it. While the daylight scenes in Hawaii certainly benefit from the added color and contrast, there are a lot of scenes in the movie that take place either at night or indoors, and those scenes – while certainly more detailed than their 1080p counterpart – often come off as darker than what the filmmakers probably intended.

The boost of color that HDR provides certainly makes some of these scenes really pop, and viewers will immediately notice how some of the characters' various outfits (particularly some of the girls' pink and red dresses) really wow in 4K. However, the extra definition and color also makes the makeup on the actors much more apparent...not so much of a problem with the female actors, but there are several scenes where it's pretty obvious that Adam Devine is wearing makeup – again, something I'm sure the filmmakers never intended. It's also much easier to see blemishes and other imperfections on facial features with the 4K version.

So while I can't argue that the 4K image is visibly more detailed than the Blu-ray, I don't think it's for the better and actually think the 1080p version is the more aesthetically pleasing one. In terms of any technical issues or glitches, there was nothing to be found on the 4K image.

• Audio Commentary by Jake Szymanski – The director does a screen-specific commentary track which, like the movie itself, is rather so-so. There's a really annoying woman (unnamed, but referred to as "Margie" throughout) who is inserted into the commentary as Jake's assistant who jumps in to make comments every now and again. It's obviously a "bit", but honestly it's about as funny as the movie itself (i.e., not very). If you're a fan of the movie, you may be interested in finding out more about some of the scenes and some behind-the-scenes tidbits about the actors, but otherwise this isn't a must-listen. Note: This track also appears on the Blu-ray; however, I didn't re-list it as a feature below.
