Sorry, this movie sucks

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is the sequel to the hit Neighbors. It appeared obvious this film was greenlit as a sequel since the original was such a hit. This film does feel quite different but has some same elements. Overall, the entire plot about the girls sorority feels a little forced and played too hard for laughs. The problem is the female characters in the sorority weren't funny and the running joke was very forced and long running. After a while, we get used to it but it was too much and the entire "feminism" agenda was very obviously pushed. We are supposed to have sympathy towards them but nothing was there. There are some decent laughs but overall nothing completely original and funny. This sequel is somewhat disappointing and felt unneeded in the end. This was a major box office under performance compared to the original and it waved off any possibility for a sequel. Some decent moments but the entire film isn't as great.

Try to get recent features with Selena Gomez, one finds just a short appearance. Except that with this and The Big Short the stories have a lot going for them. The Big Short is also good Selena. I found 'Aftershock' (2012) to be disappointing, seconds of bad girl Selena and the wrong sort of story, though I accept that Aftershock tried to portray something worth attempting to portray.At the centre of this story, B N 2, are the characters from Bad Neighbours, which I have not seen, plus Chloe Grace Moretz in one of her more fun roles. Her at 17 playing an 18, beginner level student, with Zac Efron, no longer 17 or 18, as her instructor in teen debauchery. He also passes on his skills re being a bad neighbour, while occasionally getting cuddles from neighbour Rose Byrne.I am hoping that it is okay to consider this story as unreal. The understandings of good practice would not have much survival value in the everyday world.

Mac (Seth Rogen) and Kelly Radner (Rose Byrne) are slowly moving into adulthood. Another baby is coming and they've sold their house. They're in escrow for 30 days desperate for smooth sailing. Suddenly, a bunch of girls led by Shelby (Chloë Grace Moretz) move in next door to start a sorority with the help of Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron). Teddy is struck in his life and homeless. The girls are dismayed that only frats can throw parties. They hate the rapey frat parties, the intrusive RA, and hope to throw their own fun parties. Mac and Kelly fear their home sale will fall through.Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne have become the funniest part of this franchise. Their joint idiocy is hilarious. Most of the time, the wife is the responsible one but this franchise insists on making them both idiots. That's refreshingly funny. Moretz is a good foil. Her scene with her father is a good turn. Zac is back although the movie spends too much time on his situation. It doesn't need all that. This needs one or two big comedy sequence to get it over the top. There is one deleted sequence of Shelby fighting the Radners for their cell phones which is lots of fun. Comedy sequels can be difficult and this didn't suck. It's not great either.

I don't know if Seth Rogen had a case of this politically correct syndrome its contaminating everybody or if he had some mental diarrhea or even if the weed is starting to damage his brain cells. Either way I don't know what the hell he was thinking when coming up with such a lame script and cast of boring uninteresting chicks. Very disappointing considering the awesomeness of the first movie.
