Plots(1)
Now that Mac (Rogen) and Kelly Radner (Byrne) have a second baby on the way, they are ready to make the final move into adulthood: the suburbs. But just as they thought they'd reclaimed the neighborhood and were safe to sell, they learn that the new occupants next door are a sorority even more out of control than Teddy (Efron) and his brothers ever dreamed of being. Tired of their school's sexist, restrictive system, the unorthodox ladies of Kappa Nu have decided to start a house where they can do whatever the hell they want. When Shelby (Moretz) and her sisters, Beth (Kiersey Clemons) and Nora (Beanie Feldstein), find the perfect place just off campus, they won't let the fact that it's located on a quiet street stand in their way of parties as epic as the guys throw.
Forced to turn to the one ex-neighbor with the skills to bring down the new Greeks next door, the Radners - alongside best friends Jimmy (Ike Barinholtz) and Paula (Carla Gallo) - bring in charismatic Teddy as their secret weapon. If he can infiltrate the sorority and charm his way through it, the thirtysomethings will shutter the Kappas' home. But if they think that their neighbors are going down without a fight, they have severely underestimated the power of youthful ingenuity and straight-up crazy.

Reviews (5)
The sequel to Neighbors loses nothing compared to the first part, which offered quite a brisk and light summer fun to unwind. On the one hand, it is an average comedy with a simple script, but on the other hand, I laughed out loud more than once, which is the most important thing in this genre. Of course, there were a few obvious moralising nuggets of wisdom, but you can find them almost everywhere nowadays, so what the hell. The scenes that blew me away the most were the Minions and the attempted escape from the garage. In short, a decent second part, which, in the context of gender balance, offers this time more female characters, who, however, do not lag behind the male cast and properly and give the main characters a run for their money.

A classic sequel with everything that entails. Sometimes it will make you feel like throwing up and every now and then it draws its best jokes from the first part. I did watch it until the end, but I would love to run hooks through the mouths of that alpha-girl group and hang them somewhere out to dry.

A pleasant and fresh follow-up. Seth Rogen and Zac Efron rarely disappoint lately, the comedy genre suits them very well. Add to that a crowd of pretty women, some crude humour and amazing entertainment. The sequel toppled the original. 80%.

Same bollocks as the first one and ride full of jokes. I like Zac Efron and James Franco in the lead roles more than the sisterhood of whiny teenage girls, but the film still has a lot of humour, absurd scenes and absolutely insane dialogue, this is what Seth Rogen is good at and he hits the mark again and again.

I expected it to be bad, and in the end, it was. There are jokes that are entertaining, but the whole plot is kind of painfully ordinary, and moreover, you constantly feel like it's just the same thing you saw in the first movie. Repetitive, except that it tries to play on the idea that you've grown attached to the characters, they've progressed, and you're curious about the direction it took. Nothing groundbreaking.
