Bad Neighbours (2014) 7/10

Starring : Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Zac Efron, Dave Franco, Carla Gallo
Director : Nicholas Stoller
Running Time : 97 mins

Suburbanites Mac Radner (Rogen) and his wife Kelly (Byrne) have a new born baby and have just settled in to a new peaceful neighbourhood, but when a college fraternity move in next door they discover that their quiet life is being disturbed nightly and when the police won’t do anything about it they soon find that they have entered a battle of wills with the college kids to see who will survive the crazy plots to get rid of the other neighbour.

This comedy has its moments, and feels at times like a modern day Animal House, but the fact that the couple complaining about the childish behaviour of their neighbours are just as childish can at times cause them to lose any sympathy I might have had for them. Fans of Rogen and Byrne’s other comedies will enjoy this, and many might be surprised that Efron is turning into something of a comedy star himself.
