For a raunchy comedy involving frat guys, Nicholas Stoller’s Neighbors is surprisingly deep. It has all the typical genre ingredients like sex, drugs, and genital humor, but there’s a smarter story beneath its beer-chugging, bong-ripping surface. That’s because the film actually taps into a universal human problem: growing up. To call it a coming-of-age movie though would cheapen its wit, since the fraternity brothers aren’t the only ones who learn responsibility. Neighbors proves that even adults still have room to grow, especially once they become parents.

I had a good time with this. Not something that really stuck with me, but while I was watching I enjoyed it.
Sounds like a lot of fun. I'm not an Efron fan but by the sounds of things he's quite good in this.
I don't normally like Efron either Dan, but yeah he is quite good. I'd like to see him try more comedy. Thanks for reading!
