Quote: “I’ve got claws!”- Mac

 

Favorite Part: When Mac, Kelly and their divorced friends tried to get Delta Psi their third strike.

 

Synopsis: New parents Mac and Kelly Radner are worried that now they have a baby daughter, they are starting to lose their coolness. So, when the fraternity house brothers of Delta Psi moved next door, Mac and Kelly attended their first party to regain their coolness, but when the brothers’ party gets crazier every time, Mac and Kelly had enough. Learning that the brothers get three strikes at the university, the new parents successfully got them Delta Psi their second strike (the first strike is when the brothers burned down their last house) and they are not allowed to throw any more parties for the rest of the year. They know if they ignore the probation, they get strike three! So, with the help of their friend and his ex-wife, they send a fake letter telling them they are off probation and help them with the end of the year bash, hoping they will be gone!

 

The review: Neighbors is just getting the party started. Zac Efron went from the Disney star to the party animal while Rogen makes an interesting father. Great jokes and a hilarious diabolical plan. It will make you glad you aren’t neighbors with a fraternity house in this modern version of Animal House.
