Can Seth Rogan be a in a film without it involving pot? Is it in his contract or something? My partner loves him and all of his films. I don't. Because I am more into films we usually watch films I want to see, so something has to give. That means watching all three Bad Neighbor films. TBH I can't even remember the first two other than being scarred from the sex scenes between Rose Burns and Seth Rogan. And actually, maybe this is only the second? I don't know and I don't care and I'm not going to find out.The all-male writers obviously thought they had stumbled on revolutionary territory over the revelation that sororities can't have parties. Cue the rebellious Chloe Moretz (who by the way in this is cool, I liked her) setting up her own with two suddenly best friends. Of course it is in the old house where all the Frat problems of Rose Burn and Seth Rogan's characters first began. The girls meet Zac Effron, the man child with issues that force him to run around the neighbourhood without any shoes on. He is however as great as he possibly can be with his performance considering how basic his character is. Anyway it's another all out battle between houses as Rose and Seth want to sell their house blah blah with Zac needing to chose a side- his forever peter pan young side or his old past college side.Just one of those extra films that gets made to make money at the box office. Doesn't matter how bad the first, second or third films are if they do well in the box office expect more of them. Inane? Yep. But everyone keeps watching! This film obviously heavily involves pot smoking and how cool smoking is. I don't care about smoking but I am starting to think that Americans do it all the time and seem to think it's as rebellious and serious as getting out the old heroin syringe. So yeah, I can't really be bothered to summarise.
'Bad Neighbours 2' (or 'Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising' in America) is a straightforward comedy sequel - all that's changed is the frat next door is replaced with a sorority (one of the funnier scenes involves how to spell "sorority"!). Mac (Rogen) & Kelly (Byrne) are back - as are the cute twins who play their daughter, now two years older - and still at it (literally in the opening scene). Shelby (Moretz) plays the leader of the new sorority moving in next door, but they do take some time to build her character, along with Beth (Clemons) and Nora (Feldstein) and make them non-stereotypical teenage girls - for the most part.There's a fair bit that doesn't work: still heaps of pot, most of it unnecessary, with Rogen must have written into his contracts or he won't appear, the predictable ending, annoying party/crap music scene(s) and some swearing/jokes that don't hit the mark. However, the majority of jokes - and pranks - are funny and do work.There's some feminism and pro-gay sentiment in there - and one great/terrible Jewish joke - but it's not sentimental or anything. Never going to blow minds or be a game-changer, but a decent way to spend 90min. And plenty of shirtless Efron or the ladies!
I can't believe the amount of negative reviews here. It looks like the reviewers are far too bitter to recognize sarcasm. Obviously, nearly everything in the movie is a parody, giving you great opportunity to have a laugh at current society, rather than taking things seriously and getting offended like most of these reviewers probably do in real life. You're watching a freaking comedy.Only thing I can understand if you went to see this in a cinema. It surely isn't great cinema movie, because many of jokes are borderline and better to laugh at in safe enviroment rather than around alot of strangers. Thats one of the reasons that actually good comedies like this, that are pushing the boundaries of whats ok to laugh at in public don't belong to big cinemas in this day and age sadly. So if you saw this in the cinema and thought it's cringey, go watch it at home, alone or with someone you dont need to hide anything from, loosen your belt and have a fun.Thats how I watched it. With no expectations reading no reviews prior, and even though I'm not biggest comedy supporter, I had A LOT of fun.
Try to get recent features with Selena Gomez, one finds just a short appearance. Except that with this and The Big Short the stories have a lot going for them. The Big Short is also good Selena. I found 'Aftershock' (2012) to be disappointing, seconds of bad girl Selena and the wrong sort of story, though I accept that Aftershock tried to portray something worth attempting to portray.At the centre of this story, B N 2, are the characters from Bad Neighbours, which I have not seen, plus Chloe Grace Moretz in one of her more fun roles. Her at 17 playing an 18, beginner level student, with Zac Efron, no longer 17 or 18, as her instructor in teen debauchery. He also passes on his skills re being a bad neighbour, while occasionally getting cuddles from neighbour Rose Byrne.I am hoping that it is okay to consider this story as unreal. The understandings of good practice would not have much survival value in the everyday world.
