Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising takes a raunchy spin on comedy

By: Alex Malawski, Reporter

Raunchy, erotic, and downright goofy- Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is the kind of comedic film that is slow at its beginning but builds up the right amount of momentum as it continues.

Struggling to sell their house because of escrow, a repugnant excuse for parents played by Seth Rogen (The Interview) and Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids). Each of them display performances that are great and utterly inappropriate.

The film also stars the likes of Zac Efron (High School Musical) and Chloe Moretz (Hugo). Efron’s  role as a former college frat boy and former nuisance of Rogen and Byrne’s characters has moments in the film that will be pleasing to some. As for Moretz’s character a young savvy, happy-go-lucky girl, her character shows the dominance females can have over their masculine counterparts.

Director of the film Nicholas Stoller makes his attempt to make a follow up film to 2014’s Neighbors pleasing in the best possible way, even if you have not witnessed the original film, this still suffices for its content.

The script in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is just as inappropriate and gaudy as you’d expect an R- rated comedy to be. With its very nasty demonizing ways Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is one heck of a comedy.
