Have you ever seen a trailer that whetted your appetite so much that your expectations were way too high? I'm sure we all have. Have you ever seen a movie that had all its good parts in the trailer? Well, I sure did when I saw Neighbors. I wasn't so misled to expect a smart comedy, rather just a series of good laughs. Instead, I was treated to another one of those Seth Rogen comedies that kept hitting you over the head with a sledgehammer (or in this case, a dildo) for crude joke after crude joke.
The premise of having a fraternity move in next to a new family is interesting because there is no way the two could coexist. At least, that's what one is led to believe. Instead, in the film, Rogen's character wants to party with the college kids and the fraternity is set against him only after Rogen violates a circle of trust. This sets off a powder keg of mindless antics. Once its over, you don't feel any satisfaction or humor. Nothing. If you were me, who was so wrongly misled by the trailer, you'd feel disappointed. Conclusion: Disappointing, Pass On It
Rating: 5/10
