Review of Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016) by Junelkean — 10 Jan 2018
“Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising” brings together the entire cast of the first Neighbors movie released on 2014 with a handful of new faces. Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne reprise their roles as a couple, now with their daughter, while Zac Efron is also back as the former frat boy who has problems with his career. Chloe Grace Moretz joins the cast to somehow play as the main antagonist of the movie.
Fortunately, it has a better premise than its previous movie. The ideas are supported with punchlines and effective gags, which always keep coming scene after scene. But unlike its predecessor, Neighbors 2 delves deep to cover themes like gender inequality, complexity of feminism, sisterhood and parenthood which has been conveyed with frantic performances and hysterical chemistry from its actors. However does it have unrealistic moments, this movie proves that sequels can be much better than its predecessors.
VERDICT: Neighbors 2 borrows its premise from its prequel, and what we’ve got is an even better movie that explores the core ideas of socialism and a dash of humorous contentment.
