With Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, they've flipped the script, creating a feminist party classic that's completely current and doesn't skimp on any of the wild humor. It's also even better than its predecessor.
One of the best comedies of the last year. If you like the original you will probably like it, as its pretty much that,but mixed with some present day social commentary (womens rights, feminism etc.) Of course, its pretty funny.
I don't understand the critical reception or user reviews at all. Did we see completely different movies? Better than the first in almost every way. Takes advantage of being a sequel in almost every way. Are some of the really good jokes in the trailer? Yes. Is it still worth seeing? Oh yes. Yes yes yes.
Comedy is rarely sympathetic to its victims, but by letting all the major characters serve as each other's karma engines, Stoller and the other writers create a hilarious world where everyone can be equally awful, and equally heroic, and equally ridiculous.
Despite its overt feminism, Neighbors 2 makes the sorority unravel when its guiding man leaves. It's one of several mixed messages in the screenplay, possibly due to having five writers' fingerprints on it.
In their awkward attempt to shoehorn these kids into the first pic's formula, Stoller and his writing collaborators care far less about creating believable characters than getting to the next laugh.
Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is a comedy film directed by Nicholas Stoller and written by five different writers. It is the sequel to the surprisingly good and successful Neighbors that came out in 2014. This one has old and new faces on the casting side, with returning names like Seth Rogen, Zac Efron and Rose Byrne, plus new cast members such as the amazingly talented Chloë Grace Moretz on the sorority side, with her new "sisters" that are played by Kiersey Clemons and Beanie Feldstein.
Overall I quiet enjoyed this movie, and in my opinion it is even funnier and better than the first one. The overall casting choices are perfect, and while the old cast is still incredibly funny and likable, Chloë Grace Moretz totally steals the show in my opinion. She's so darn likable and definitely delivers the perfect one-liners that are super funny. Her character is also likable and interesting at the same time. Zac Efron is also a casting choice that really impressed me on the first Neighbors, and while he was funny on that movie, in this one he just takes it to a whole new level. I pretty much have liked this guy in every movie he's been in so far in his career. He certainly has comedic talent and I hope he keeps on doing what he's doing.
Sure some of the jokes and story-lines of this movie feel like a deja-vu from the first movie, but I think that this is just a trend for comedy sequels now. Repeating the same things from the first movie is something that many other comedy sequels have done recently, like Ted 2 and 22 Jump Street. But it worked for both of them and it works for this one too.
I really liked this movie, and while it is not comedic gold or a classic, it isn't trying to be either. It is a fun and enjoyable summer movie with some great messages about friendship and family thrown in there to make the perfect balance, and in my opinion, a good comedy movie.
"Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising" foi muito melhor do que eu esperava, mas, ainda assim, foi basicamente uma repetição do primeiro filme. A maioria das sequências de comédia são totalmente desnecessárias, mas, pelo menos, esta foi bastante divertida.
A lot of stuff in this movie, was not funny at all. Teddy I felt bad for him, for what the writers did with him. Pathetic, almost too hard to watch. How they let their kid play with mommys vibrating toy throughout the whole thing?? The Tampons? The talk about sexism was too much, almost to the point where after the movie I was like 'was this whole movie, just a a jab at feminism?
It's a new batch, in the same neighbourhood, but all girls, trying to go wild!
I thought the first film was a mistake and now there is another one. I thought only people are reacting negatively, it could be much better than the previous one, but this is really a crap. I'm as a film fanatic hate myself to criticise a film like a film critic does, but there is no other option. I don't know who are the target audience, because it was too sexy for teens and definitely adults won't enjoy unless they are similar to what in the film depicted.
I don't know why, but I disliked all film with Zac Efron in it. Beside, I'm disappointed in Chloe Grace joining this team. A bad decision, she will regret doing it in the future, maybe she's already. Regarding Seth and Byrne, I don't blame them doing this, at least theirs part were much better than the others. Yet there is no laughs, the film ran with totally dry. Maybe the youngsters would enjoy it than anybody else, because I'm sure the grown-up have already seen better ones in the similar style in the 80s and 90s.
I hope this is it, no more sequels. Particularly not to end up like 'American Pie', but nobody can stop that if B filmmakers take over from here on. At least first film was much better compared between these two. If you are an adult, sure you should skip it. Zac and Chloe won the Teen Choice awards, so now you know who should watch it. No offense to those who liked it, but for me it is one of the top five worst films of the year. I never write the reviews like this, but I feel bad for what this film made me to do.
