Film Review - Bad Neighbours 2 (2016)

Bad Neighbours 2 continues on from the first Bad Neighbours film and both Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne's characters are now planning to sell their house but they find themselves in a 30 day waiting period where the buyers can pull out if something goes wrong which could well happen as a trio of women led by Chloe Grace Moretz plan to buy the house next door and throw parties.

I liked this film and much like the first film I was surprised by how much fun I really did end up having with it, Rogen and Byrne have a really nice chemistry (and it's also nice to hear Byrne use her Aussie voice rather than try and fake most likely badly an American accent) and I also enjoyed Zac Efron's character and the arc he goes through in the film.

But the show stealer here is Moretz and watching her in this film I was reminded just how good of an actress she can be when she has a role she can really sink her teeth into and she was fun, her character made sense to me and it does make you think about some of the issues going on in regards to women in university and both of these Bad Neighbours films have had that I think something a little more at the centre of them as well as having the gross out humour which there is plenty of in this film.

And so that was Bad Neighbours 2 and in a world where 8 in 10 Sequels don't work and 9 in 10 Comedy Sequels don't work it's nice that 1 can come along and break that rule, 2 and a half out of 5.
