Bad Neighbours


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Beau

Universal treated us to a very early screening for the film. So early that there was still ungraded footage and no finished credits.

The film is delightfully hilarious from beginning to end. Seth Rogen has always been a favourite and here Rose Byrne matches him admirably. They even let her keep her Australian accent. She also gets her own comedic set piece that's easily the grossest part of the film and somehow manages to never have to resort to being the voice of reason for the stupid guys, instead instigating just as many hijinks as the other characters do.

Zac Efron leads the cast of frat boys and while they have their own college comedy he also gets a little coming of age drama, but nothing that ever stops the comedic flow. They manage to fit a lot into the this one without the jokes ever really stopping. 

There were a few obvious set ups that I expected but they didn't play out quite like I presumed which was nice. And the level of destruction and mayhem went beyond what I was expecting too. Nice to know that not everything is given away in the trailers. 

Definitely check this one out, very good fun indeed.
