JP also took me to the movies to see Neighbors. Let me tell you how fantastically funny it was! I've actually been hearing a lot of people hate the movie, but it's number one after it's first weekend opening, which is a very difficult task for a rated R movie. We loved it though!
As a new parent, I found it very relatable. Having a baby and choosing to be a responsible parent, but that desire to go out, party, get fucked up until 4 am, that doesn't just "poof" and disappear. Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne played their roles perfectly. Seth Rogen played his typical character, so if you're not always a fan of his, you won't be interested, but his chemistry with the super gorgeous Zac Effron was classic, slap happy comedy. Even Dave Franco (sexy pants) added to the comic flair.
Rose Byrne really stole the movie for me. If you're not familiar with her off the top of your head, she was the rich friend from Bridesmaids, Moira MacTaggert from X-Men: First Class and Jackie Q from Get Him To The Greek. Anyway, she's fantastically clever. She's the mastermind behind the relationship with the frat, offering them a joint at the beginning of the movie, and ending the fued and getting the frat kicked out of their house at the end. My favorite part is when Seth Rogen tells her she's going to cause their daughter's first word to be cunt. My fear was my daughter saying "my dick" to someone. A horrible phrase I use about a million times a day. Even the engorged breast scene. OMG! I was dying!!!! I'm looking forward to seeing Rose Byrne in a lot more films after Neighbors.
I recommend this movie if 1) you're a new parent that's not a tight butthole & 2) if you like Seth Rogen movies. This movie is full of the people he always works with. That whole inner circle. So you have a lot of people from Superbad, This is the End, the Legue, Eastbound and Down, ect. You even have the cast of Workaholics make a cameo. And Seth Rogen rocks Wolfgang tees and hats the whole time. Sweet.
