Inclubabu Plot so thin, it es unnoticed.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
gwnightscream Seth Rogan, Rose Byrne, Zac Efron and Dave Franco star in this 2014 comedy. This tells of married couple, Mac (Rogan) and Kelly (Byrne) who live in a nice neighborhood with their baby. Soon, a College Fraternity moves in next-door led by it's President, Teddy (Efron) and things get out of control. When Mac and Kelly get fed up with their ruckus and call the police, Teddy decides to get even. Mac and Kelly fight back trying to get him in trouble and out of the neighborhood. This isn't bad, Rogan is great as usual and he & Byrne have good chemistry. I recommend checking this out at least once.
The Movie Diorama Add a fraternity lead by a hot guy, an Australian hormonal mother and a chubby wannabe-hipster father. What do you get? Bad Neighbours. The old peace seekers versus the young noisy hooligans. Standard formula is standard. That is literally the plot. Yet, this allows creativity and innovation to be injected into the film to bring out the hilarity. Surprisingly, this has several funny moments (even after the nth viewing). Ranging from Robert De Niro impression parties ("are you talkin' to me?"), weird hazing sessions and a dance off to the background music of Flo Rida. Random, but somehow oddly amusing that does conjure up a few laughs. Some of the jokes are high on the profanity level and does tend to feel like a competition to see how much the film can gross you out. Grows tiresome unfortunately. Acting all round was functional. Zac Efron has come along way since High School Musical and luckily has good comedic timing. Sure he looks fantastic...heavenly...I would even say Godly, but he can act. Seth Rogen is Seth Rogen. Rose Byrne pulls in a more natural performance and is a personal favourite of mine. Aside from that, it never pushes itself to more than just a crude comedy. If you like that, then great. I however like wit and subtle humour. That's not to say I didn't enjoy this, in fact in of recent comedies this is ranked highly. Also, the air bag scenes had horrendous human CGI that just detracted from everything else. If you couldn't do it without CGI, don't do it at all...especially in a comedy like this that utilises many props to give that sense of authenticity. Slight nitpicks but they do amount to negatives towards the film. It's undeniably watchable and a good comedy, but its contents grows tiresome as the runtime goes on.
zkonedog About once a year or so, I'm down for a raunchy, "party" comedy. Some of them are truly horrible and I feel worse for the experience. Some, though, like "Neighbors", actually have enough thought put into them to be a fun outing.For a basic summary, this movie tells the story of new parents Mac (Seth Rogen) and Kelly (Rose Byrne). When a frat house gang led by Teddy (Zac Efron) moves into the house next door, a chain of one-upmanship hilarity begins in the "battle for the neighborhood".Simply put, what makes this movie funny is Seth Rogen. The guy plays the same character in practically every movie he's ever been in (or at least that I've seen!), yet it continues to work because it is so relatable. He's the slightly-pudgy "average joe" who has the perfect one-liners and sly comments that we all wish we could come up with on a daily basis! Without his unique brand of humor, this would be a "lost ship" of a film.Basically, if you've seen "Knocked Up" and enjoyed it, watch this one too and expect similar results. It's the same type of schtick, only with Rogen playing a slightly more mature version of his role in that earlier film. If you don't like crude (often extremely so) humor and hundreds of pot jokes, then stay away."Neighbors" gave me some good laughs in the theater and took my mind off the everyday grind for an hour and forty minutes. If you aren't expecting anything more than that, you'll enjoy it.
Miguel Neto Neighbors is very weak , I expected more of this comedy even to have Seth Rogen who usually is in good comedies such as This Is the End which is pretty funny , the cast is good, Seth Rogen has some funny moments , plus a whole this well down on performances as in own this is the End he plays himself , Rose Byrne is the best thing in the film, she is very funny , and takes seriously its role , Zac Efron is a good actor , over here it evil, Dave Franco , Christopher Mintz- Plasse , Craig Roberts , Carla Gallo , Ike Barinholtz , etc. , the same performances not being the strong point of the film, they do not come to compromise, the script is weak , but I did not expect to see a good script , the characters are not well developed , the actors are bad you take advantage , what it is bad, why this film had potential , Neighbors is a comedy to forget , Seth Rogen already did best , and Rose Byrne is very good actress to do this kind of production . Note 4.8
