Reviews

Gavin Purtell 'Bad Neighbours' is a really enjoyable and well-made comedy. Plenty of laughs throughout, with a great cast and decent ending. Rogen plays his usual loveable buffoon and Byrne is surprisingly good as his wife, as she's allowed to keep her Aussie accent, rather than doing a fake American one. But the way they act together, with their cute baby, is quite realistic and charming. The whole plot is really simple - a frat moves in, they don't like it, so a battle to get rid of them escalates.There's an excellent support cast - Hannibal Buress as the cop (particularly the Garfield bit), Lisa Kudrow as the Dean & Jason Mantzoukas as the doctor all have some great lines. There's some drawn-out fraternity/party scenes, but overall it's well-paced, with constant jokes and funny moments throughout. Even the baby gets a few laughs, particularly during the calendar shoot!Efron & (the younger) Franco do a good job as the frat-boys, but it's pretty predictable - except for some of the pranks (& fights) they pull, which have heaps of laughs. It's probably not as good as 'Old School', but still better than some of Rogen's recent comedies.
jaretricejhr I have been going through the User Reviews and all I see are 1s and 2s...and it's honestly a mystery to me. I feel like the reviews are just a bunch of parents in their 30s to mid 40s that thought the movie was about acting more mature and to not have fun. No, the message was that being a parent doesn't have to keep you from having fun from time to time, but always be sure it's at the right time. They became cool with each other in the end, if you just watched it and didn't leave the theater immediately, and ran home to write a review. And a bunch of other people said that the movie was "vulgar and brainless", which shows me enough that people don't into movies as much as they should, in fact, I don't think people look into these kinds of movies at all. Yes, I understand that this movie has a lot of drug use and profanity, and there is a good amount of crude humor with sexual content and graphic nudity, but that doesn't really make the movie completely vulgar. This movie had a lot behind that adults need to understand. Plus, not to mention, it was a movie about frat boys living next door, were you expecting this movie's humor to be pleasant? I honestly thought this movie was fairly funny, especially the airbag scenes, and even if it wasn't, I'd still enjoy it, because it lets you know that you can still have fun from time to time, and nothing will keep you from doing that for a long time. You have to look into a movie more before you review it.
theVade As a film, I just thought it was okay. There was nothing that made me crack up laughing, and at no time did I feel the need to pull out my phone to check Twitter. The film was never bad at any point (in my opinion) but it also didn't have me on the floor in tears laughing. So in the end I decided to give Neighbors an "Alright" on theVade Review Bar or a 5 out of 10. It wasn't bad, and it wasn't outstanding, it was just alright. So that's it.. just a short review for a movie that was just a tad short at being a good comedy.Read more at theVade.
adonis98-743-186503 After they are forced to live next to a fraternity house, a couple with a newborn baby do whatever they can to take them down. Neighbors was pretty cool although sometimes it gets a bit too edgy and gross this movie did it's job right like that scene with the chair where they put the air bag inside and Seth Rogen was explode into the ceiling and fall down or when that big ball hit him in the wall. You see the good thing with films like this is that it works the first time in the 2nd time it's a recycled stupidity that fails hard but we will talk about that when the time comes but honestly i had fun with this film not awesome or amazing but it did it's part pretty good. I give Neighbors 8 out of 10.
