Absurdly funny is perhaps the best way to describe this comedy which successfully embraces its genre role, as Neighbors depicts a somewhat typical comedic clash of two polar opposites, but does so in a refreshing and interesting way, exploring themes of responsibility and immaturity along the way. Although quite outrageous at times, the film does have some unexpected additional layers of complexity which prove beneficial, adding greater depth without hurting its comedic aspects. Surprisingly enough, Rose Byrne stands out from the cast that includes such talents as Zac Efron and Seth Rogen, and her performances is undoubtedly worth praising as she displays great comedic ability. Overall, Neighbors can be described as a highly energetic film which stays true to itself and with a short running time is aware of its limitations, ultimately resulting in a funny comedy that delivers in every way and is definitely worth watching.
