Not impressed, might have laughed if I hadn't seen the trailer. Too much of it seemed like they'd forgotten to write a script. Think i've now had more than my fill of Seth Rogen.

Not as horrible as something like 21 and Over, but really not particularly funny.

Seth and Rose were good and it was watchable enough, but the conflict wasn't really believable, some of the scenes and improv felt very long and there just weren't enough laughs. 5/10

My favourite line of the film was when Dave Franco said to Zach Efron that he was a good actor :)

I saw this in March but it was embargoed at the time and completely forgot I can talk about it now! I actually enjoyed this far more than I thought I would and I'm not just saying this because of the delicious pulled pork burgers and cocktails we were served before the screening (I really enjoyed Zac's shirtless scenes too).

I usually don't like slapstick, which is why I thought "The Awkward moment" was so lame, however this I enjoyed. I had several LOL moments - especially [spoiler]the airbags[/spoiler] - probably not a spoiler I guess, since everyone seems to have spoken about it here and it's very stupidly been put in the trailer - one of the reason's I mostly avoid watching trailers.
For what it was aiming to be - 7/10

I really liked it. It's not going to change the world but it does give you a good giggle at people being silly. Can't ask for much more from Seth Rogen!

I did find it quite funny in places and did LOL, quite a few times so although I would disagree with the poster I saw advertising it as the funniest film of the year I did enjoy it. I would give it 7/10. I am sure my 22 year old daughter and her friends would enjoy it.

I am glad I did not watch the trailer in post 1 prior to seeing the film as I have just watched it now and it seems as if most of the jokes seem to be in the trailer and that would have spoiled the bits I did laugh at and the last bit on the trailer with the toilet I dont even recall in the film.

This was quite a disappointment and I expected to laugh a lot more than I actually did. The gross-out humour was very hit-and-miss and it needed better improvisational work, but the occasional sparks wit from Rose Bryne and an interesting but slightly underdeveloped backstory for Zac Efron's character just about prevent it from being a total misfire.

6/10

Really enjoyed this, thought all of the cast were excellent and there were numerous laugh out loud moments.

Liked that things weren't completely one sided in terms of which set of neighbours were in the right and time wise it didn't outstay it's welcome .

Overall it's one of the best comedies released (so far) this year so more than deserves an 8/10 from me...
