Review of Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016) by Kaptenvideo — 05 Dec 2016

Another of those unnecessary hit comedy sequels but this one turns out to be surprisingly entertaining. Did not see that coming.

The story is mostly the same – young family battling frat house, this time in the form of sorority – and main stars also. Seth Rogen, Rosa Byrne and Zac Efron have a good team going, their chemistry and ability to improvize carry the movie well, even if the screenplay gets thin at places. I love Seth Rogen but many of the comedies depend heavily on the quality of stars' improvization and turn out to be not very inspired. No problem this time around, the results are above average. I actually recommend it over the first one.
