Brilliant and touching

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

(Flash Review)A young couple with an infant child has a fraternity buy a house for sale next door. Cue immature comedy scenarios of both 'parties' not getting along because of, you guessed it, rambunctious 'parties' – zing! This is moderately more funny if you are a parent as you have the perspectives of: wish I could go out and live it up but I can't because I have an infant at home and let's be cool with the young neighbors because even though we are older, we are still cool. Lewd humor, scheming and substance abuse ensues. Who will get the last laugh? The end. It has some funny gags, many bad jokes and a plausibly core story as a foundation for the humor. It was OK and better than many current teen-focused comedies.

The reviews are correct about this film. Neighbors is a very funny movie, almost every single joke in the movie works so well, and that hardly ever happens in a mainstream comedy movie. The casting is perfect, and I thought that all the actors nailed their roles. Zac Efron is the perfect choice for the beer can crushing typical frat guy. He has that believable college party dude essence about him. And he doesn't look too bad either. This quote in the beginning of the film is very true. "He looks like something a gay guy created in a laboratory!" And as a gay guy I can say that yes that's very true lol. Seth Rogen is a great comedic actor and he does well as the new father who still wants to live out his younger days and becomes obsessed with battling the next door fraternity. And I absolutely love Rose Byrne as Seth Rogen's husband, she is very funny and delivers the lines near perfectly. And omg Lisa Kudrow (Friends) has a small role as dean of the university the fraternity is associated with. She is hilarious as usual, one of my favorite actors ever! The comedy works very very well, this is one of the funniest comedies I've ever seen actually. I really suggest that if you're looking for a great well made comedy then I 100% suggest Neighbors! I can't wait to see Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising. You even get to see Dave Franco's naked a**! That's just the delicious icing on the cake lol. 9/10 overall.

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.

Ah yes, here we go again on the IMDb train of critics who try to act "smart" by leaving a negative review on every movie they can find, but apart from that, a small bit of bad review critics give very solid points and that means that this movie is NOT for everyone of all ages, i would say the age demographic of 16 to 30.Regardless, while watching my movie i somehow managed to laugh so hard that i woke the whole house up at 2 in the night, and that's not as easy as it sounds.A movie with a perfect story, even a backstory for all the main characters, sure people say that its very exaggerated, but it think that's the fun of it. I mean, imagine if we made movies the way critics wanted their perfect movie to be? LAAME! This movie changed that to be just the perfect boundary between too much exaggeration and just enough.Perfect comedy, made me laugh, and at moments had me on edge at times.Now lets hope the sequel is just as good.
