Review of Neighbors (2014) by Jay-R A — 21 Nov 2014

I know I am not going to see a movie that has Seth Rogen in it where it will be just funny as This is The End but I know that I would I have some good laughs in this movie.

The plot was okay and a bit predictable but Seth Rogen's signature brash, over-the-top humor makes it up for it.

I liked the cast of this movie which attributes why I like the characters in this movie. I am amazed at Zac Efron's comedic effort in this movie. He is now shying himself away from the "chick flick romantic lead guy" which is great for his career. I also liked Zac Effron and Seth Rogen's dynamic together. It seemed like they're old buddies exchanging jokes to each other. I also like Rose Byrne's comedic effort in this movie especially with his chemistry with Seth Rogen, she manages to be funny without trying too hard.

The length of the movie is what I have a problem with. It seemed like it should have been shorter considering its concept that could be solved much more easier and faster.

Although this movie is not one of my favorites like This is The End and 22 Jump Street, Neighbors is a funny movie thanks to the cast's great comedic effort. This movie is better watched with your friends.
