Movie Review: Neighbors

by Desha Winborne May 7, 2014

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Writer: Andrew J. Cohen

Director: Nicholas Stoller

Cast: Seth Rogen, Zach Efron, Rose Byrne

Happy but bored couple (Rogen and Byrne) get more excitement than they can bargain for when a wild frat moves next door to their dream home. The hijinks and insanity abound as the couple try to match wits with the impossibly perfect Teddy President of the wildest fraternity in town. From start to finish the laughs and raunchy humor never let up. The very first scene is a mild sex scene with the not to exciting couple trying to have spontaneous sex in a chair, until they are interrupted by their adorable baby girl. If Rogen’s horrible attempt at dirty talk doesn’t make you laugh, his awkward reaction to his baby girl certainly will.
