Nobody asked for a sequel to Neighbors, but we got one. Was it better than the first? Not really. One thing that did stand out that they really don't get away from in sequels is that they didn't rehash all the same old jokes. So there is that. But there is more. Here we go…Synopsis: Mac (Seth Rogen) and Kelly (Rose Byrne) are ready to make the final move into adulthood. But just as they thought they have reclaimed the neighborhood, they learn that their new neighbors are even more out of control than the last. To evict them, they will need help from their ex neighbor (Zac Efron). Starring: Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Zac Efron, Chloe Grace Moretz Director: Nicholas StollerThe Ugly: Okay, the thing that killed it for me with this movie hit a little personnel. A few years back I had a soldier who tried to break up my marriage because I was booting him out of the military for good reasons. Now, while that scenario was happening in the movie I did not laugh once. Breaking up a loving marriage is not something to joke up.The Bad: Remember how I said they didn't rehash the same old jokes from the first movie. Well, that wasn't the case when it came to Seth Rogan. Now, I still do find him funny, but his humor is getting a bit old.The Good: Having a different antagonist in this movie was the right move. The young females who want to be independent but also rely on each other was nice touch. If the movie was a different type of movie I would let my young daughters watch this movie due to its moral. If you watch the movie really think about the end of it and you'll see what I am talking about.Final Thoughts: A decent enough movie that could have been on par with the original due to the changes made. I would have given the movie a higher rating, but that personnel situation gets in the way.Rating: 6 out of 10That's it for me folks.

Mac (Seth Rogen) and Kelly Radner (Rose Byrne) are slowly moving into adulthood. Another baby is coming and they've sold their house. They're in escrow for 30 days desperate for smooth sailing. Suddenly, a bunch of girls led by Shelby (Chloë Grace Moretz) move in next door to start a sorority with the help of Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron). Teddy is struck in his life and homeless. The girls are dismayed that only frats can throw parties. They hate the rapey frat parties, the intrusive RA, and hope to throw their own fun parties. Mac and Kelly fear their home sale will fall through.Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne have become the funniest part of this franchise. Their joint idiocy is hilarious. Most of the time, the wife is the responsible one but this franchise insists on making them both idiots. That's refreshingly funny. Moretz is a good foil. Her scene with her father is a good turn. Zac is back although the movie spends too much time on his situation. It doesn't need all that. This needs one or two big comedy sequence to get it over the top. There is one deleted sequence of Shelby fighting the Radners for their cell phones which is lots of fun. Comedy sequels can be difficult and this didn't suck. It's not great either.
