The cast is perfect, and most of the jokes land for me. The main thing that stands in its way is the repetition. There are three full rounds of plotting against the frat, and by the third it's just like damn I thought we did this already.

Reviews
Neighbors is pretty funny. Part frat movie, part parenting comedy. It feels like an extension of the Apatowverse.
Rose Byrne earned a permanent spot in my heart from Bridesmaids. Seth Rogen is always funny, and he and Rose Byrne complement each other well. Her Australian accent somehow works as a barrier from anything becoming too low brow. It can't be too bro-y if Rose is there.
Carla Gallo is one of my favorite "omg I love her but I don't know her name!" actresses.
