BAD NEIGHBOURS

This is a no-holds-barred comedy, which is what we have come to expect out of actors like Rogen, but what is more interesting to see is Byrne really find her feet in the same genre. It was an interesting decision to have her retain her natural Australian accent, but this only works in favour of the comedy that she delivers. Zac Efron is certainly growing up – both in stature and in acting ability. While he might have been the only thing going for ‘Are We Officially Dating?’, here he adds to the brilliant ensemble of comedic actors including Dave Franco, Lisa Kudrow and that guy who can’t seem to move on from playing McLovin.

The film features eye candy aplenty, with the almost constantly shirtless frat men’s hazing, partying, drinking, drug taking and sexual exploits. Unfortunately on the other side of the fence, we have what is one of the more awkward sex scenes ever witnessed on film between Rogen and Byrne. But that is okay – it only helps the film's constant sense of debauchery. What will probably work in favour of ‘Bad Neighbours’ is its ability to appeal to two different markets: the young twenty-somethings who can’t stop YOLO-ing and the thirty-somethings who just wish they could YOLO again. Quite possibly ‘Bad Neighbours’ could be the ‘American Pie’ of this generation.
