Neighbors

Neighbors - starring Seth Rogen & Zac Efron.  Given it's relative lack of success at the box office, I was pleasantly surprised by this one, it's actually pretty good, it is a bit raunchy, it is a bit crude, yet they also keep things light and fun, I think they found just the right mix.  Granted, it won't win any awards, but it is good for a few laughs and a good time.  It's about a young couple (Seth Rogen & Rose Byrne) with a newborn baby who have a frat house move in next door.  The couple must then grapple with not only the noise of the constantly partying frat but also with their own impending adulthood.  It gets quite funny as the neighbors being to scheme against either other.  Seth Rogen is funny as usual, Rose Byrne does a nice job as his wife, Zac Efron & Dave Franco make for great foils & Ike Barinholtz's star continues to rise with another solid performance.  Keep an eye out for the cameos too, they add a funny touch.  Give it a watch, if you have any sense of humor I suspect that you'll like it.

I will give it 3 out of 5 stars (*****).
