A comedy is made to make you laugh. But when a comedy doesn't make you laugh yet doesn't entirely suck it floats into that weird realm of being 'likeable'. Does that mean its failed as a comedy? Or succeeded as a movie?
I'm unsure but Neighbors occupies that 'likeable' space in the same way the films fraternity occupy that neighbouring house. It's hard not to enjoy some of its recklessness but you'd also like it to mature just a tad and turn the volume down.
Or maybe i'm just getting fuckin old.
abercrombie stopped hiring shirtless greeter guys the year after this movie came out bc none could compare to golden god zac efron. he doesn’t even need to go out in the sun he just glistens naturally
just finished watching this movie, and its actually a lot funnier then I expected

BABY'S FIRST RAVE.
Nicholas Stoller continues to deliver some of the funniest and most emotionally fine-tuned comedies out there, at least of the broad variety. and this is probably his best since FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL, which i trust you will agree is a modern masterpiece of the highest order. Rose Byrne returns as Stoller's secret weapon... the gags kill, the characters are all human (and never without their humanity), and Efron manages to fit in with a comedically gifted ensemble.
the airbag thing was a bit much, though... he could have sat with his baby in one of those chairs!
They've added a Bad to the front of the title here in the UK, presumably so some dimwit doesn't mistakenly wander into the cinema thinking they've finally made a big screen adventure for Harold Bishop and the rest of the denizens of Ramsey Street. As for the film itself, it's actually really funny. Rude, crude and lewd, but very funny. And it has plenty of good gags that weren't already ruined by overexposure in the trailers, which is rare for modern day comedies. I love Seth Rogen, I love Rose Byrne, I love Zac Efron, and all are great in Neighbours. Maybe a little too filthy for some tastes, but I lapped it up. Because I'm a delinquent. Directed by Nicholas Stoller, writer of The Muppets!
What's It About?: Family versus frat. The Radners versus Delta Psi. Rogen and Byrne versus Efron and Franco. Bale versus Keaton.
Who's In It?: Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Zac Efron, James Franco's little brother, Ike Barinholtz (MADtv), Period Blood Girl, McLovin, Jerrod Carmichael, Craig Roberts (Submarine), Lisa Kudrow (Friends), the hobo from 30 Rock, Halston Sage (from that new Gillian Anderson show that'll likely get canceled), and a bunch of cameos.
The Good: Stella. FaceTime. "He looks like something a gay guy designed in a laboratory." "Keep it down!" Franco's epic boner. "Okay, your baby has HIV." "I went to school here, that's why I'm dumb!" De Niro. Sam Jackson. OH SHIT! Rose Byrne. The tear.…
Dave Franco and Zac Efron were so aggressively straight in this that it turned around and became gay
Titled Bad Neighbours in the UK and US.
I guess they thought we would confuse it with the soap opera.
I guess they thought we were fucking idiots.
66/100
A comedy that works because of its combo of simplicity and style. Two sides wage conflict within day-glo set pieces, and it succeeds because of remarkable comedic character work. If you haven't heard, Rose Byrne is a star and Dave Franco's smile is akin to a ray of sunshine.
While I enjoyed Neighbors overall. I was expecting the laughs to hit harder and to come more often. I really only laughed out loud once, and that was because of Rose Byrne.
To label this film has been quite the effort it seems. Oh, it's clearly a screwball comedy, but it terms of the title it has confusingly fluctuated between Bad Neighbors and Neighbors. Why? Well, probably because of the TV show Neighbours we have here in Australia - which is utter drivel by the way. If it's any solace for Bad Neighbors (as it shall be called), it's certainly more insightful and compelling than that program.
Seth Rogen has returned once again - with his idiosyncratic chuckle and bumbling ways - to the big screen. But this time he's at the junction of adulthood and is struggling to relinquish his hay days and immaturity. Rogen holds all the traits of his…
anything with zac efron and dave franco is worth watching even if it means i also have to look at seth rogen being gross
// this was literally the only movie starting with N from our collection that i felt like watching lol i was feeling way too picky
I am trying to get Zac Effron to be in my most watched actors stats don’t ask
Jerrod Carmichael half singing into a PA system "sooooomebody call nine one ooooone"
This movie had some fun moments, some real laugh out loud scenes but on the whole I found it largely annoying. I liked the stuff with the parents and them grappling with getting older and leaving their adolescence but the main plot line with the frat just felt so patently ridiculous i found myself irritated a lot. Of course the entire premises is ridiculous and certainly movies have had more ridiculous ones but I just didn’t buy it.
This movie looks amazing. The cinematography and editing are absolutely perfect. Don't sleep on Stoller.
