Neighbours 2: Sorority Rising, a.k.a Bad Neighbours 2 as it is known in the UK and Germany, is a follow-up to the 2014 comedy film Neighbours. I was positively surprised by this sequel, expecting a dull plot that retold the same jokes and plot as the first movie, and while this is true to some extent, Neighbours 2 was actually an extremely funny and sometimes macabre continuation of the first part. I can honestly say that I was enjoying this comedy from beginning to end, not finding one dull moment and was surprisingly invested in the character story arc.
This is more of a “passing the torch” narrative than it is a simple repetition of events, and includes the typical foul-mouthed vocabulary and poop jokes of a Seth Rogan comedy. It also has a surprising, emotionally touching, note to it. The story revisits the characters of the first movie, depicting how they evolved since their little “neighbourly” feud. Kelly and Mac are expecting their second child and need to sell their house and move into a bigger one since they are running out of space. Teddy is still trying to figure out what he wants to do in life. All three meet again when a new sorority moves next door, making life hell again for the Radners. The result is not only hilarious but includes a fulfilling emotional conclusion.
This sequel, just like its predecessor, has some issues though. A few of the jokes and sketches were taken straight out of the first film, and even though it wasn’t more than one or two, they did lose their comedic effect the second time around! Then there was the troubling fact that it did contain once again characters, in high-level positions, which behaved like jerks and simply weren’t believable. Lisa Kudrow, for example. was not only completely wasted, but a disappointment in general!
The cast retained its chemistry and Chloë Grace Moretz was a fantastic addition to the roster, but the movie was clearly focused on the characters Kelly, Mac and Teddy and how they evolved. Seth Rogen & Rose Byrne still depict a believable married couple, who moved passed their stage of being comfortable around each other and need to step up as parents. They are clearly way over their heads as first-time parents, trying to cope with their two-year-old daughter and doubting their parenting skills. They are also expecting a new baby and in dire need of more living space. Their only problem is the new sorority that moved in next door and is causing them trouble, trying to sell the house.
Zac Efron, playing Teddy, managed to surprise me once again. Although his movie with Robert DeNiro, which was released earlier this year, was a complete flop, it managed to prove that the young actor got rid of his Disney image once and for all. Efron is a good and capable comedian and I enjoy most of his R-rated comedies. His performance in this film topped that of Dirty Grandpa (not shocking at all!) and also gave Teddy a softer side to his character. Teddy lost his way in life, still not knowing what he wants to become, he finds his purpose when helping out his former neighbours to get rid of the sorority.
Chloë Grace Moretz depicts Shelby, the head of the sorority that moves in the house next to the Radners’ home and is the newest thorn in her neighbours’ eyes. The young teenager and college freshman had a tough high school time, with an overprotective father and no friends, to change that she decides to join a sorority but is shocked to learn that sorority members are not allowed to consume alcohol or drugs in their home. She soon meets Beth (Clemons) and Nora (Feldstein), and together they decide to create a sorority that challenges those unscripted rules.
This comedy made use of computer effects for stunt-like scenes that were too dangerous to perform in reality, as well as practical effects that were part of punchlines for macabre jokes; both meshed well together but were sparsely used. Although the CG effects looked fake at times and there clearly is a scene that was filmed in front of a green screen, it never hampered the humour in the story.
Verdict: Neighbours 2: Sorority Rising is a fun sequel to the already enjoyable Neighbours. Contrary to other comedic sequels that simply reuse old jokes and sketches, Neighbours 2 either came up with new toilet humour (that nearly crossed the line) or managed to repackage jokes from the previous film, giving the punchline a different end. Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Zac Efron and Chloë Grace Moretz had great chemistry and clearly enjoyed their time on set. The neighbourly feud between the two houses was really funny, as usual, and the pranks they played on each other kept me entertained throughout this comedy’s runtime. If you were a fan of the first movie, you will clearly like this one, but if you don’t like poop jokes and foul-mouthed dialogues I would not recommend you go watch this film. Me? I had a blast with Neighbours 2 and will, therefore, give it a 7 out of 10.
