Bad Neighbours 2 Review Mark Kermode

Nicholas Stoller has yet again made us all laugh with another great comedy, Neighbours 2. We all thought oh no a sequel to a good film, yes a good film not really good enough for a sequel or so we thought. The film itself was actually hilarious although I must admit most of the good gags were in the trailer, the film as a whole kept us enticed, the film is so stupid it’s smart. Yes it’s not as good as the first film, but it still manages to stay new with fresh ideas still making us all laugh.

The film starts out with Mac (Seth Rogen) and his wife Kelly (Rose Byrne) wanting to tell their house so that they can move on to find a bigger home to increase their family, as in every film something has to go wrong so obviously sone bratty sorority would have to mess things up. Obviously Mac and Kelly want rid of these girls before they start throwing parties meaning no one will buy their house because of noise. It definitely shows how Teddy (Zac Efron) has grown up from the last Neighbours film, the film shows how Teddy (Zac Efron) -who once was part of a fraternity in the same house the sorority girls including Morgan (Chloë Grace Moretz) would like to live in- is helping his ex-neighbours out by maturing just enough to act like an adult to stop this sorority from quite literally rising.

Each character is not only funny in their own way but the actors themselves bring their real humour to our screens and it’s gut-busting to say the least.

Teddy as a character knows how to deal with Morgan as he was basically her before he grew up, Stoller really shows the maturity but still childish type actions that cause Teddy to still be in the state of mind of someone in a sorority or fraternity.

The merge of utter stupidity into comedy proves to be a key feature to the popularity of this film, it’s not your typical comedy it’s as original as you make it, definitely worth the watch.
