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.

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

National Newspaper Publishers Association

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.

David Griffiths

Subculture Entertainment

In reigning in Bad Neighbours 2: Sorority Rising and making it more politically correct than the original film in the franchise the powers-that-be behind the film have made this a largely unfunny film that rehashes old jokes

Rated: 2/5

The law of diminishing returns comes down with Mjölnir force on this needless sequel.

Horrible horrible movie. Waste of Rose Byrne. Sac Effront and Seth Kroakon are horrible.

Very much a continuation of all of the pros and cons of the first. Funny one liners and quips with a simple enough premise to push the story

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

As silly and ridiculous as you can expect, with the usual vulgar humor.

A sequel with a message. And like always, that doesn't work. Doesn't hold a candle to the first movie.
