I turned it off 35 minutes in. I thought I was a good 1 hour in, but nope... it just went that slowly. I laughed maybe once or twice, but gg... I think I'm done with party movies.
It is still better than This Is The End.
I was not all that impressed by the first 30 minutes - but I did watch at least an 45 minutes or so and it was OK. Later I finished the movie and the last bits were LOL funny - at times, typically revolving around the party house. The brother hood even had a special "call" to alert the brothers of any possible issues during the party ...
Yes, this movie was better than The End, though I do like both - I think Neighbors maybe should be a solid 7, or possibly an 8.

Why do so many people hate this movie when it was first released and advertise that people were going crazy on the internet and there was a lot of hype especially critics loved it why do people hate it all of a sudden now that its release it exists and its on DVD? I personally loved it sure wasn't pervasively laugh out loud raunchy funny but it did have funny moments and it does teach you that there are times to have fun there times to be an adult. I mean what do people want in a comedy? Seriously.
I would say that some people don't like Seth Rogen, though I would wonder why they would go see (or be forced to see?) one of his movies? I mean if your girl is that clueless, maybe she shouldn't be your girl anymore?
There were a few gross parts - the "adults" did over react a bit ... at times - though it could have been worse (like a Ben Stiller movie!).
The adults won, in the end - through superior tactics - even though that one dude put the "frat logo" in Hebrew (but it was funny - how they put that bit together).
Some adults are too series to have fun ... they can no longer act or think like children - or even young adults, so they may not like seeing adults doing juvenile things.
Finally, most things - such as comedy - are subjective - so not everyone will like it but I think some of the "hate" would be coming from the fact that young "adults" would not like to see their peers "defeated". Also if critics were praising the movie - that can be a two edged sword (or big hype in general) when someone may be "pushed" to see it because of all the hype - then they are let down and they feel cheated ... then if they are childish they rant or troll on the IMDb boards! :o

I kind of agree with you on your last paragraph. I also related to how some adults are too serious to have fun and there are times to enjoy life like a young adult and times to come back t reality and live like an adult. That's the message that caused me to enjoy the movie in the sunrise Sacramento theater;the only time I actually enjoyed myself.
