"Neighbors" - Review




This was a  funny movie, but not nearly as funny as everyone  made it out to be. If Seth Rogen is in something; I will see it. All his movies are great.....besides "The Guilt Trip". This movie is from  Rogen and the guys that made "This is the End", "Super Bad", and "Pineapple Express". So of course, I had to see it.

Zach Efron plays a great douche bag...it really suits him well and seems natural. He plays the fraternity president living in the house next door to Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne. They try to be the cool & hip older couple next door and befriend the fraternity guys. But they quickly learn they can't deal with the constant partying next door and the noise level. So, a simple noise complaint starts a full-on feud between the two neighbors. I especially liked the Robert De Niro-themed party and David Franco does a hilarious job playing the fraternity's vice president.

The scene from the previews showing Seth Rogen sitting on the toilet and falling through the floor does not actually happen in the movie. However, the dildo-fight between Efron and Rogen DOES happen and it's gross... but also hilarious. It is a really funny movie like everyone says and could easily be the sequel to "Knocked up" with Rogen playing a responsible parent / family man. I give it 8 /10
