Review of Neighbors (2014) by Ducknation — 11 May 2014

Neighbors is for sure a raunchy laugh out loud comedy, Its 90 minutes of crude humor but somewhere behind all the pot smoke the movies actually has a heart. Nicholas Stoller has made some decent films like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and The Five-Year Engagement but Neighbors is his best movie to date. There are a few extremely funny gags running throughout the film with your typical frat humor in between. The part that was a shock to me is that some scenes were lighthearted I guess its such a shock to me because you really never see that it this type of comedy. The cast is solid Seth Rogen is Seth Rogen I guess some would consider that a bad thing but I on the other hand do not. Zac Efron did a solid performance and I know for being an old Disney actor people seem to write him off but the guy can act also him and Dave Franco were an hilarious duo I wouldn't mind them two being in another movie together. Rose Byrne really caught me off guard with how funny she is I wasn't expecting to be laughing so hard with scenes where she is the focal point.

Overall I give it a 7.5 Neighbors kicks off the summer comedy slate with a bang, its for sure the most I laughed at the theaters this year so far, well actually im not so sure about that because The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was hilariously bad anyways Neighbors is well worth a watch.
