If you didn’t get enough thirty-somethings vs. millennial college kids chaos in the recent comedy NEIGHBORS, not to worry, as Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are back for NEIGHBORS 2: SORORITY RISING… and walking in very familiar territory. This time a sorority moves in next door, led by Chloe Grace Moretz, and the frustrated couple call upon their old rival Zac Efron to give them an edge. It’s pretty much a gender-swapped retread of the first movie, but there’s still some funny stuff here. It’s interesting that the trailer is not featuring Selena Gomez, as she would obviously be a big selling point to younger audiences. I gotta say, seeing LL Cool J play a straight-laced dad holding what he’s holding here is pretty amusing. Comedy Central premiered the new red band trailer which you can see below. Tell us what you think in the comments.
Now that Mac (Seth Rogen) and Kelly Radner (Rose Byrne) have a second baby on the way, they are ready to make the final move into adulthood: the suburbs. But just as they thought they’d reclaimed the neighborhood and were safe to sell, they learn that the new occupants next door are a sorority even more out of control than Teddy (Zac Efron) and his brothers ever dreamed of being.
Tired of their school’s sexist, restrictive system, the unorthodox ladies of Kappa Nu have decided to start a house where they can do whatever the hell they want. When Shelby (Chloe Grace Moretz) and her sisters, Beth (Kiersey Clemons) and Nora (Beanie Feldstein), find the perfect place just off campus, they won’t let the fact that it’s located on a quiet street stand in their way of parties as epic as the guys throw.
Forced to turn to the one ex-neighbor with the skills to bring down the new Greeks next door, the Radners — alongside best friends Jimmy (Ike Barinholtz) and Paula (Carla Gallo) — bring in charismatic Teddy as their secret weapon. If he can infiltrate the sorority and charm his way through it, the thirtysomethings will shutter the Kappas’ home. But if they think that their neighbors are going down without a fight, they have severely underestimated the power of youthful ingenuity and straight-up crazy.
