Review of Neighbors (2014) by Damen W — 16 Dec 2014
The Pitch Review.
SETH: I don't know man...This is a little out of my wheelhouse. A wife & kid? Really?
WRITER: You owe me. Remember that thing a few years ago? Well, I'm cashing in.
PRODUCER: It's not that far out of your wheelhouse, man. It's more of - say - an adaptation. You know, a spin on your hilarious movies.
SETH: Dude, it's not the same thing at all. It's like saying Monty Python's "The Holy Grail" is an adaptation of The Bible. Not the same thing at all. But you're right. I do owe you one. Oh, man. It's gonna be tough. So, what? I'm a married guy fighting these single college frat boys the whole time?
DIRECTOR: Well, yeah. It's the clash between a frat-house lifestyle and married parents with a baby. It's cute. But raunchy. And no, we did not have a contest to see how many dildos we could get away with putting in...(hahaha) but that's not a bad idea, now that you mention it. Hmmmm...
PRODUCER: We'll pick a hot actress for your wife, too. I promise.
SETH: Okay. But hot, like good-girl hot. Not tramp hot. And make sure she has a hot accent, too.
DIRECTOR: Absolutely.
SETH: Okay! Okay! I can see how that might be funny. Usually I'm a "bros before hoes" kinda guy and would rather work with my boy Franco, but I do owe you one...And a lot of these scenes are hilarious.
You've clearly not been sleeping much, because a lot of the scenes are laugh-out-loud funny, but...there's a lot of skin in this. My skin.
WRITER: It's a f$&#$^% comedy, dude. They don't care. They just want it to be mostly funny.
FRANCO: Then get rid of the wife & kid.
DIRECTOR: Shut up, James.
