Sheep Movie Review: The Neighbors

The Neighbors

Directed by: Nick Stoller

Staring: Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Zac Efron and Dave Franco 

Rated: R 

Plot: 

Seth Rogen, Zac Efron and Rose Byrne lead the cast of Neighbors, a comedy about a young couple suffering from arrested development who are forced to live next to a fraternity house after the birth of their newborn baby.

Raunchy comedy is quickly becoming the new norm. Those that are faint of heart or easily grossed out should steer clear of this one. This is a very sexual comedy with boobies and wennies floating around the screen. Scared to send your kid off to college? Yeah, maybe those folks should not see this one. Hopefully, everyone understands it's just a movie! 

As for the story itself, I was overall entertained. Seth and Rose have a wonderful back and forth dialog nature that plays very well in giving a natural and realistic feeling to this awkward couple. As someone in the same age bracket, I found myself completely understanding many of these situations.

While the kids next door do a great job of shacking up the block. It's a drug induced party sure to get wild in no time flat!  

For the price of the ticket, this comedy is worth it. If you're still not sold, here's just a small taste of what's in store....

Bridesmaids, a fun riot!

Bridesmaids, directed by Paul Feig, stars Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Rose Byrne. It's a laugh out loud comedy with an actual plot, and while it may be filled with women it's not to be confused with a "chick flick". It's not an action-packed thriller, but there's so much going on you won't need the action to be entertained. :)

Storyline:

Annie (Kristen Wiig), is a maid of honor whose life unravels as she leads her best friend, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), and a group of colorful bridesmaids (Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Ellie Kemper) on a wild ride down the road to matrimony. Annie's life is a mess. But when she finds out her lifetime best friend is engaged, she simply must serve as Lillian's maid of honor. Though lovelorn and broke, Annie bluffs her way through the expensive and bizarre rituals. With one chance to get it perfect, she'll show Lillian and her bridesmaids just how far you'll go for someone you love.

If you like comedies and you enjoy SNL you will really like this movie. Kristen Wiig is such a talented woman I really can't say enough about her comedy skills, I find it amazing she is not in more movies. John Hamm plays her sleazy bed buddy, I really love that guy but ewww was he such a jerk in this film. But his behavior as a jerk was the whole point of his character. Kristen's character has lost her cake shop, lives with weird roommates, drives a beat-up car and is on the brink of a mini melt down. Discovering that her best friend is getting married, she struggles to play the part of Maid of Honor while on a very tight budget. A movie very much showing the sign of the times we can all relate to.

Love and life get in the way, while trying to find happiness in the small things and letting go of failures. A great storyline with a bunch of fun humor, but not for the easily disgusted or faint of heart. This comedy is full go with the dark and light humor. A must see for those that want to laugh, have a strong stomach and enjoy a little raunch with there dinner. :)
