Critics Consensus

With plenty of bawdy humor evenly spread between its well-matched stars, Neighbors earns its R rating -- and filmgoers' laughs.

Wendy Ide

Times (UK)

What it does best is nail the angst of people realising that the birth of their baby also means the death of cool.

The Atlantic

Byrne walks away with the film by making Kelly a well-rounded, conflicted person, rather than the film's fun cop who has to tell everyone the boring truth.

Flavorwire

It may seem counterintuitive to praise the emotional maturity of a movie whose climax includes a dildo fight, but there you have it.

The raunchy gags might not stop but Neighbors is a laugh riot.

Not so much a story as it is an idea played out in a series of wild gags, but good performances and some unexpected heart make it a cut above the usual frat boy fare.

Rated: 4/5

Gone With The Twins

Presents a talented cast and a premise brimming with potential, but manages to squander every opportunity for laughs.

Rated: 3/10

Rowdy, ridiculous, and sharper than expected, Neighbors works because it knows exactly what it is. With Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne anchoring the chaos and Zac Efron bringing unexpected depth to his frat-boy role, the film finds surprising nuance beneath its outrageous set pieces. It’s a comedy that plays to the crowd without pandering — willing to be dumb, but never lazy. Thanks to some clever writing and a cast that leans all the way in, Neighbors earns its laughs and then some.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Filme legal pra caralho, o roteiro é legal, o filme tem cenas engraçadas, mas algumas cenas forçadas como o teddy jogar a bola no mac e o mac caiu de um jeito todo fudido que foi forçado, igual a cena no escritório que a cadeira do mac tinha um air-bag que ejetou ele para o teto forçadamente, o filme também meio que faz adolescentes vs adultos, o filme ainda teve outras cenas bacanas e ruins, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme.

Neighbors (2014) delivers a raucous blend of slapstick and wit that epitomizes modern American comedy. Seth Rogen and Zac Efron's unexpected comedic chemistry shines in this tale of suburban warfare between new parents and a rowdy fraternity. Director Nicholas Stoller expertly balances crude gags with moments of surprising heart, creating a film that's more than just a series of outrageous pranks. While the humor occasionally veers into over-the-top territory, the movie's energy and the cast's commitment to the absurdity keep the laughs coming. Neighbors may not be for the faint of heart or those averse to bawdy humor, but for fans of audacious comedy, it offers a thoroughly entertaining experience that stands out in the crowded field of R-rated comedies from the 2010s.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

It's pretty funny but hard for the premise to stand up to even a 1h37m runtime. It just gets repetitive and overdone. But the cast is fun and if you're looking for some college humor laughs, it's a fun time.

Reverse of what I was expecting in that the story was a little more than thought then I would have imagined. It just wasn't all that funny.
