ThiefHott Too much of everything
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
R4lfXD I can't believe the amount of negative reviews here. It looks like the reviewers are far too bitter to recognize sarcasm. Obviously, nearly everything in the movie is a parody, giving you great opportunity to have a laugh at current society, rather than taking things seriously and getting offended like most of these reviewers probably do in real life. You're watching a freaking comedy.Only thing I can understand if you went to see this in a cinema. It surely isn't great cinema movie, because many of jokes are borderline and better to laugh at in safe enviroment rather than around alot of strangers. Thats one of the reasons that actually good comedies like this, that are pushing the boundaries of whats ok to laugh at in public don't belong to big cinemas in this day and age sadly. So if you saw this in the cinema and thought it's cringey, go watch it at home, alone or with someone you dont need to hide anything from, loosen your belt and have a fun.Thats how I watched it. With no expectations reading no reviews prior, and even though I'm not biggest comedy supporter, I had A LOT of fun.
ffamaro This has to be the stupidest film ever made. No one acts like any of these characters, which would be fine if it is was funny. Now I realize this is Hollywood trying to brainwash viewers to their liberal, twisted mindset. But come on, if you are going to try that crap, make it funny. Personally, I hope anyone connected with this film does not work again for a couple of years.
annevejb Try to get recent features with Selena Gomez, one finds just a short appearance. Except that with this and The Big Short the stories have a lot going for them. The Big Short is also good Selena. I found 'Aftershock' (2012) to be disappointing, seconds of bad girl Selena and the wrong sort of story, though I accept that Aftershock tried to portray something worth attempting to portray.At the centre of this story, B N 2, are the characters from Bad Neighbours, which I have not seen, plus Chloe Grace Moretz in one of her more fun roles. Her at 17 playing an 18, beginner level student, with Zac Efron, no longer 17 or 18, as her instructor in teen debauchery. He also passes on his skills re being a bad neighbour, while occasionally getting cuddles from neighbour Rose Byrne.I am hoping that it is okay to consider this story as unreal. The understandings of good practice would not have much survival value in the everyday world.
EBJ Bad Neighbours 2 was directed by Nicholas Stoller and stars Seth Rogen, Zac Efron and Chloe Grace-Mortez. Soon after they have dealt with the frat next door, Mac(Seth Rogen) and Kelly(Rose Bryne) Radner must team up with a former foe(Zac Efron) to stop a new sorority that moved in next door. I very much so enjoyed 'Bad Neighbours' and thought it was a very funny film, mainly supported by its quality premise. When I was reading reviews for this movie, I thought it was getting pretty harshly beaten and after watching it, I don't know why. Sure it's not as good as the original but sequels rarely are and if you take this movie for what it is, I think you'll enjoy yourself. The actors have good comedic timing, there are some genuine stomach hurting jokes and the movie is just a solid, fun time. While the story is basically just a rehash of the original, if it ain't broke then don't fix it. That said, I think they've exhausted all possibilities with this concept and to continue this franchise would be to milk it so much that it begins to bleed. I will definitely say that the ending is very fitting and ends the arc of all the characters very well so I think continuing the franchise would completely disregard this ending.As far as acting and characters are concerned, this movie fairs pretty well. Everyone is reasonably funny and has some comedic timing but I wouldn't say anyone blew me away. Seth Rogen does what he does best(laugh) and Rose Bryne was just there. I like both the actors and they do pretty well here. Zac Efron expands his repertoire in this movie from dumb guy to dumb guy with no job, friends or life goals. He deals with this very dangerous and out of left field expansion moderately well and I think it may have furthered his career for the better(/end Sarcasm). Chloe Grace-Mortez was probably the best acting wise but wasn't the best COMEDY wise. She was fine and I'm not saying she wasn't a solid villain but her comedic acting wasn't the greatest. Ike Barinholtz was great as Jimmy and that clown... That clown man... I still have nightmares from that clown. One thing I will say is that the initial antagonism between Mac and Teddy is completely contrived and forced because they were on good terms at the end of the last movie.Technically, the movie is pretty flawed. The cinematography was pretty messy and I typically try to ignore it in comedies but it did kind of stand out in this movie, but not in the good way. The set and costume design was passable.As the genre would suggest, a comedies primary purpose is to make the audience laugh. As far I'm concerned, this movie achieved that goal. I laughed at a fair amount of the jokes in this movie and was thoroughly impressed at how good and clever the writing was at points. They reference the previous film at one point with a simple joke but this one joke made me nearly start crying with laughter. In conclusion, this movie has got good performances, good characters and a solid laugh/cringe ratio of jokes. I do recommend this movie.6/10
