Neighbors

Neighbors plays as a typical Seth Rogen meets Zac Efron comedy. Its demographic double play aside, Neighbors is very good at blending its two kinds of comedy, frathouse and new-parent angst together into a tight and consistently funny package. The film draws connections between the two house, new parents Mac and Kelly Radner (Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) secretly crave their old wild lives, while the boys at Delta Psi look at their brotherhood as a sort of stable home environment.

Neighbors at first seems to string along many unconnected pieces then eventually we see he first connection come along and start to process as the film goes along. It is a silly comedy and many of the negative reviews seem to have complaints about this. It isn't trying to be a masterpiece or anything special but what t does, it works and there are a specific audience for these kinds of comedy.

I like comedies, and was looking forward to an experience in the same alley as the "Hangover"-movies. But "Bad Neighbours" was probably an all time low for me. This film probably sets a new record in using the words sh*t, fu*k and d*ck. Together with other kinds of swearing. Normally swearing doesn't bother me at all, but this time it just gets boring. The whole movie is a repeat of itself. Parties and "can you keep it down, please?" If that sounds fun, go ahead and watch it! What is the punchline? Is there really a punchline? I couldn't fine any. Zach Efron is, as always, quite handsome and a quite talented actor. Unfortunately that doesn't help much. The storyline is too thin. A total waste of money for me.

The premise looks funny. The trailer is mildly amusing. The final product is lame. Unfortunately, the funniest parts are all in the trailer, so after about 30 minutes it just felt like I was sitting around waiting for the next scene I had already seen in the preview.

Some of the scenes seemed like first takes. I felt like I was watching DVD extras. I highly doubt they had a completed script. It felt like they were winging it half the time, which basically means Seth Rogen playing Seth Rogen, which was old ten years ago.

Skip this and go find yourself a midnight screening of Revenge of the Nerds.

While I didn't quite find this movie as hideous as many others clearly do, the combination of obvious gags, badly developed characters and lazy acting makes for a fairly forgettable experience.

I saw this film on opening day with a friend because I was bored, and did not expect much. After seeing the trailer I thought "this movie will make me laugh a bit, but will probably suck overall", and I was mistaken. I was pleasantly surprised by how funny this movie was surprisingly funny. I am not a big Seth Rogen fan, but he was funny. The biggest stand-out performance was from Zach Effron. He has come a long way since being a Disney star, and he was the reason for a good number of laughs I got from this film. I see a lot of reviews on here complaining about how dirty and vulgar this film was... did none of you read the rating? This movie is rated R for "pervasive language, strong crude and sexual content, graphic nudity, and drug use throughout"... I mean, for God's sake Rogen and Effron get in a dildo fight(which was hilarious).If you are offended by such things, a prude, or easily offended in general, you probably should not see this film. If you do not care about that, and expect a fun movie full of laughs, cussing and partying, this is a film for you. Hope you enjoy.
