Neighbors

This comedy was like tailor-made for me. Seth Rogen's films are usually 50/50, sometimes they work, sometimes they are rather awkward and weak, but this one was just right. His co-stars Zac Efron, Rose Byrne and James Franco give the film some juice, the humour is uncompromising, I was nearly rolling on the floor with laughter and you would hardly find a bigger meme movie. Everyone here is complaining, but I'm thrilled. A must for Rogen fans and perhaps one of his best films, if not his very best. (03/02/2023)

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% (06/23/2014)

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. (05/08/2014)

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. (07/15/2014)

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. (08/30/2014)
