Unlike the trailers, from the very beginning the Neighbors adopt an unusually friendly way of getting to know people and, due to one innocent betrayal, that vengeful rodeo begins where they go all the wall and airbags throw the fat guy through the air. A surprisingly pleasant Efron and the domesticated Rogen bring us an entertaining romp where the only innocent character is the little girl who dons Hesienberg’s boiler suit in the final scene. What an awfully cute kid.

I didn't like this at first. I'm not a big fan of Seth Rogen because he just seems the same no matter what you see him in. But he and Rose Byrne were a perfect match and it worked. Then once the young people got there, it worked even better. There were some good jokes here, and the characters were preserved, and so was the boring moral message at the end. For me, it’s a comedy that doesn't stand out in any major way, but certainly isn't terrible.

A pleasantly entertaining, watchable, but not seizure-inducing comedy. Seth Rogen is good again, but it seems like his weakest role so far compared to Pineapple Express, Knocked Up, This Is The End and others. It's recommendable, but it's more of a one-off that will make you smile more than laugh. 60%

Neighbours is a nicely edgy, slightly brutal in places, but still quite funny American comedy with a likeable cast. As far as the story goes, it's clichéd in places, but the film still holds the bar pretty high. The Zac Efron vs. Seth Rogen conflict was not bad at all, and while I'm not exactly the fatherly type to gush over little kids, I have to admit that Stella was really cute. In short, a movie that doesn't offend but doesn't surprise either, just pure average for me.

A really uncompromising comedy. Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are as hyped as if they’ve gone through five trips already and the entire thing has a fairly swift flow. I must admit that it took me a while to get used to them, while Zac Efron and his Beta fraternity immediately grew on me. But in the midst of all of the craziness and brutal jokes, I realized that there is no outright good or bad side here, which made me really happy. And even though Zac Efron is a proper jackass in this movie, you still think of him as a boy living his dream. And that ending takes it to new heights of “realistic”. The entire time, I was watching a comedy I didn’t know what to make of, but the ending assured me that I really enjoyed it. I believe that in the end, it will all click and you’ll either get really excited about the movie or you’ll be shaking your head, thinking how idiotic everyone’s been acting. But you mustn’t be such a grouch; it’s a comedy, after all, and this one definitely has its fair share of humor.
