Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016)
Rated R
Starring Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Rose Byrne, Chloe Grace Moretz,
Directed by Nicholas Stoller
The Story:
Mac and Kelly (Rogen & Byrne) are moving out of the neighborhood and into a new house. They just need to wait 30 days for their current house to close. And that's when Shelby (Moretz) rents the place next door. She starts her own sorority where the girls are allowed to party and have fun. And if you're going to start a sorority and throw a party, who better to have as your consultant than Teddy (Efron), the guy who made life miserable for Mac and Kelly a few years earlier?
If you watched and enjoyed the first Neighbors film 2 years ago, you pretty much know what to expect this go round.
It pretty much stays right on path with parents against college students, until decisions are made that cause Teddy to switch allegiances.
It's not high art, but the artists will get high.
A lot.
That's what they do.
This is Seth Rogen after all.
:)
However, his chemistry with Efron is fun to enjoy, and if you had a good time with the original, you're likely to have as good of a time this go round as well.
I found it to be just about as good as the first one, with a new mix of old and new cast members and a satisfying conclusion to the story.
Will there be a 3rd movie?
There shouldn't be, but if they do, or if Efron and Rogen team up again in something else, I'll swing by and check it out.
Final Grade: C+
