Neighbors: Zac Efron Looks Different...

Neighbors is based on the hilarious idea that a frat house in an ordinary neighborhood can lead to awkward and hilarious situations. This frat house is led by Zac Efron (who is kind of close to college aged) and 29-year old Dave Franco. McGlovin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), Seth Rogan, Rose Byrne (Very attractive), Ike Barinholtz (Jimmy "The Body" Gibiatti from the League) rounds out a pretty solid cast. Rogan & Byrne are married and just had a child, so they are still trying to be fun while they try to figure out parenting. The frat house & the couple actually start out on a great note & have a great time partying on their first night together. Afterward they are told to always call Efron if they are too loud. The next night they call Efron a bunch of times, he doesn't answer, they call the cops, things go South. The couple is then in a race to get the Frat two more strikes while the Frat tries to ruin their lives and get them to move. It's surprisingly not funny despite all the opportunities and decently funny cast. Ike Barinholtz doing celebrity impressions is probably the highlight of the film, especially his Barack Obama impression. Nothing in this film is new and it's far from special. Bottom Line: 5.8 out of 10. Funny parts, but far from special. I don't recommend buying this thing, but if it's on TV and you have some free time, give it a whirl.
