Storyline
Kelly and Mac are settling down in a quiet neighborhood with their newborn child, until the frat brothers move into the house next door. Teddy is the President, and Pete is his right hand man, and they're quick to accept friendship when Kelly and Mac introduce themselves as the neighbors. Night after night, Mac asks Teddy to lower the fraternity's noise, even accepting the invitation to the party one evening. When Teddy goes back on his word to keep the partying down, Mac calls the police to deal with the problem. The police quickly blame Mac for their presence, and the war begins. As the family feuds with the frat brothers, things get hilariously dangerous and the fraternity end ups on thin ice with their college. After receiving their final warning and being placed on probation, Mac and Kelly pull a prank so ingenious that Teddy and Mac are forced to respond. All hell breaks loose, from Robert DeNiro parties to Christopher Mintz-Plasse having sex in the bushes, this comedy shows how...

That's this movie.
I don't want to completely hate on this movie, but essentially what
this entire movie is, is a bunch of actors getting together and having
a fun time while accidentally making a movie in tandem.
There are some big, big laughs here (most of them from Zac Efron
surprisingly) even if the trailer spoiled the best ones, but I just
don't find Seth Rogens "he's a big fat guy who loves weed" Shtick funny
anymore, he's been doing it for doing for too long.
Plus most of the jokes are obviously improvised, like they just walked
onto set that day with a rough idea of how the scene should play out
and just decided to wing it, and for about every 1 joke that hits,
there's about 5 that don't.
I also hated the huge lapses in logic, what about the other neighbours?
wont the noise coming from the fraternity irritate them as well? and
why do these parents think that a discarded condom would immediately
give their baby HIV? and I don't think the Dean of the university would
have been so blasé about a complaint from the public.
What difference did it even make to have them be a fraternity anyway?,
The story would have worked just fine if it had been a group of loud,
obnoxious young people. The only reason it was a fraternity was to
attract college audiences.
