Review of Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016) by Robbie V — 27 Nov 2017
I liked this movie. It wasn't as terrible as I thought it'd be. I was wondering if it'd be a mirror of the first movie, but it was more of a closure instead. I was hoping Dave Franco would do more than be a jackass to his best friend. Like it wasn't just going to be Zac Efron being the only Heel Face Turn. Turns out the Sorority was a little meaner than the Fraternity, found their tricks to be excellent! Found it funny when Mac and Ted tried to escape a garage. The movie wasn't a total feminist plot either, it had its bro moments too, or rather sister moments. Like the sisters can be just as nasty and clever, as the frat bros, perhaps even meaner.
Most of this movie felt like a repeat of Neighbours 1, but it wasn't entirely a rehash of the same plot. It felt like it was going backwards rather, instead of ending where the Protagonist wins, this movie had both the protagonists and antagonists get a good ending.
One continuity issue I had was Mac and Ted were supposed to be pals at the end of the first movie, but they're still enemies in the second? That was the only real plothole I noticed. Probably more of them if I rewatch this.
