Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, and Emily Byrne star in this crude comedy of two neighbors, a frat house and a couple with a baby. The trailers showed it as a hilarious movie but sadly most of the funny bits were in the trailers (why do they always do that?). The best parts of the movie were when there was a prank or if there was a party. So if you just want to laugh at all the funny stuff, then youtube all the trailers.
Final Thoughts: If you want to see a myriad of crazy-ass pranks and crude humor go watch the movie and go to the bathroom when their isn’t a prank on screen. You’ll laugh and enjoy yourself. Definitely go with friends so you can all laugh together. Admire Zac Efron’s sculted body or envy it, watch the adorable baby that’s Stella, and maybe go seek out a frat house to party your heart out afterwards. Whatever you do, just have fun because that’s what “Neighbors” is…crude, hilarious, plot-less, fun.
I agree with all of this.
Reblogged this on Block These Busters Up.
I haven’t seen it, but you just verified all the feelings I got from the trailer.
When the trailers release all the funny scenes there’s no point in seeing the movie, except to see all the scenes in one place.
Very true. It’s sad that they have to show you every funny scene in the movie to make you go see it. If it’s up to par, thy should be able to show a couple scenes, and let the rest appear throughout the film.
Laughed hard during this, and pretty consistently too. All I needed to assure this as a good comedy, but what made it great was the heart found in the middle, and how it actually felt honest and not just tacked-on. Good review Jane.
Thanks Dan!
Yeah, I still laughed, too. They just should have kept more cards to themselves instead of just play it all during the trailers. Rogan and Byrne have great chemistry together, too.
