“From the guys who brought you Bad Neighbours” said the trailer. “The same film again!” completed my mind.
But it’s not as bad as all that. While, yes, the idea is the same — 30-something couple end up living next door to a student party house — the second Bad Neighbours film actually tackles a number of things running through the mind of your standard 30-something couple: getting old, wanting different things in life and being a parent. The last one is the key to this film. It’s by being parents that Mac (Rogen) and Kelly (Byrne) resolve their conflict and ultimately find their own place in the world while helping the girls next door, lead by Shelby (Moretz) to find their identity.
