ABOUT MOVIES, TV, ARTS AND EVENTS IN THE VALLEY Neighbors Will Make You Laugh, Even When You Don’t Want To By Art Byrd A movie trailer is designed to get us excited to see a particular movie. Sometimes, the trailer shows too much. When I saw the trailer for Neighbors. I had a feeling this movie was going to be funny because it showed a subject that some of us can relate to: a loud neighbor. The trailer showed just enough.
A Quote By
What if, a loud partying college fraternity moves right next to your home and you have a newborn. That could start a war and that is what happens in Neighbors. The casting in Neighbors is beyond great. First, you have Seth Rogen, who is funny to see and hear. Then, in a brilliant cast move, Rose Byrne as Rogen’s wife with a heavy Aussie accent and a potty mouth. Both make an unique couple as Mac and Kelly Radner. They have the modern couple situation with a newborn daughter, a nothing fancy car and a crushing house mortgage in a seemly great neighborhood. Next thing, a fraternity moves in right next door. The fraternity is led by Teddy played by Zac Efron. The first sign of trouble happens when the fraternity throws a party and Mac and Kelly can’t sleep. So, they go over to ask them to be quiet. The couple end up staying and partying with the fraternity all night.
“There's a lot of intensity when you're on a set. And then it just goes away and no one's giving you attention or flooding you with compliments.” Actress Rose Byrne, currently in the movie, Neighbors, playing in theaters now.
