Bad Neighbours (2014)
Directed by Nicholas
Stoller this film stars Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne and Zac Efron. New
parents missing their freedom end up in a war against the fraternity
that moves in next to them.
It would seem this
film has a simple premise that is hard to mess up and yet it manages
to do so by having a muddle of character motivations and pretty
unearned changes at the end. The character arcs do not really work
and I found it impossible to route for any of the characters, the
script is frustrating as it contains some decent elements but they
are never properly realised. There are some funny moments but the
film never fulfils it's potential of comparing different generations
under going big moments of change in their lives.
2/5
