Critics Consensus

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising may not be strictly necessary, but it still wrings a surprising amount of humor from a recycled premise with a distaff twist.

I really enjoyed this sequel, it was very funny. The three main girls have a real nice relationship with each other and they got along nicely with the girls of Kappa Nu.

Better than the original, even if it's still rather uneven and largely sacrifices Rose Byrne (who was the best asset of the first film).

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Not nearly as funny as the first but could've ended up way worse.

(TLDR at the bottom) A quite needless sequel, and failed to make me root for the sorority girls. They're fighting for a noble cause, but the way they go about it makes me want to see them fail and when they succeed, I dislike the movie even more. P.s. closer to the end I felt like the parent s were actually good, until they let a huge party full of drunk idiots into their house where a 2 year old is sleeping. TLDR; unlikable characters, plot doesn't make sense, sequel is needless.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

This sequel was always a certainty to made, it's just a shame they did. Same as the first, just dumber.

Houston Chronicle

[The film] places as much focus on a smart gender twist and sympathetic concerns about how the characters will progress.

Rated: 3.5/5

This comedy with a conscience is not as ridiculously funny as Old School. But in its own way, it is as much fun.

'Neighbors 2' surprises by mixing serious undertones in with the fun-stuff... Talents of Rogen and Byrne up the grade of this comedic follow-up.
