It brings back memories of old film noir, which I’m a huge fan of. And listening to the writer Anthony Bagarozzi and director Shane Black, you hear about the types of books and films they enjoy, and how doing this film let them do a private-eye story that you don’t see any more.

I didn’t see the first film, Neighbors and didn’t know what to expect of Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising. And after watching it, I actually enjoyed the film. I didn’t feel like I missed anything from not watching the first one. Yes, they are a few scenes I could do without but other than that, it was a funny film. It even had a message I wasn’t expecting.
In Neighbors 2, we have returning stars Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Rose Byrne as the adults and newcomers to the franchise Chloë Grace Moretz, Kiersey Clemons, and Beanie Feldstein as the new neighbors. Also starring Dave Franco, Ike Barinholtz, Carla Gallo, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Selena Gomez, Lisa Kudrow, and directed by Nicholas Stoller.
