![]() It would be easy in a comedy like this to do nothing but make fun of frat boys, but Neighbors doesn’t take the easy way out. Two men who are next-door neighbors constantly battle over seemingly-trivial offenses on the other hand, their wives are the best of friends. Nor does it treat the frat boys solely as adversaries, giving us scenes from Teddy and Pete’s point of view to flesh them out (and “flesh” is definitely the right word). The physical comedy and sight gags are well choreographed, but the film doesn’t lean too heavily on jackassery for its laughs. The escalating pranks and sabotage are hilariously executed by director Nicholas Stoller and his cast, which also includes Christopher Mintz-Plasse as a frat member, Ike Barinholtz as Mac’s eager-to-destroy buddy, and a handful of funny lesser-known actors like Craig Roberts and Jerrod Carmichael. ![]()
