1/10
I lasted 42 minutes.

If this is what passes for comedy these days, then it's time for Hollywood to ride off into the sunset and let the rest of the global film world take the reins. Maybe it's because they're stretched thin making (Enter name of interchangeable superhero here) Part 7, but even that's no excuse for this patently unfunny train wreck. Hey, I get that I'm not the target audience for this rubbish, and that it serves a similar function as the Frankie Avalon or Gidget movies did for 60s teens, but this makes 'How To Stuff A Wild Bikini' or 'Beach Blanket Bingo' seem positively Shakespearean by comparison. While they both share the same absence of any discernible story arc and an empty- headed poverty of dialog, 'Mike and Dave...' is just mean spirited and humourless - the first 42 minutes, at least. Hollywood needs a new code; instead of restricted to 18 and over, this should be restricted to 17 and under. Or better yet, never green lit in the first place.

In short, a Jackass generation puke fest with zero redeeming qualities.
