Storyline
Kelly and Mac are settling down in a quiet neighborhood with their
newborn child, until the frat brothers move into the house next door.
Teddy is the President, and Pete is his right hand man, and they're
quick to accept friendship when Kelly and Mac introduce themselves as
the neighbors. Night after night, Mac asks Teddy to lower the
fraternity's noise, even accepting the invitation to the party one
evening. When Teddy goes back on his word to keep the partying down, Mac
calls the police to deal with the problem. The police quickly blame Mac
for their presence, and the war begins. As the family feuds with the
frat brothers, things get hilariously dangerous and the fraternity ends
up on thin ice with their college. After receiving their final warning
and being placed on probation, Mac and Kelly pull a prank so ingenious
that Teddy and Mac are forced to respond. All hell breaks loose, from
Robert DeNiro parties to Christopher Mintz-Plasse having sex in the
bushes, this comedy shows how.
User Reviews
Gazing at vomit is worth more of your time
Truly dreadful.
I confess my review is based on only perhaps the first 30 minutes. I lasted until Lisa Kudrow came into it, and then I really did want to throw up.
However much I searched, with an open mind, for some redeeming spark in script, actors, or direction with which to drive me to stick it out, I simply couldn't. This is pure, unadulterated drivel.
During what would have been the back half of the movie had I not switched off, I checked reviews on IMDb. I couldn't believe, page after page, that the 1/10 scores somehow added to a 7.0 total rating at the end.
As with the movie, I never got to the end of the reviews. I tallied 2- 3/10 from the several pages I read. Its average ranking rates above many of what one could call the seminal and decent movies you've seen over your viewing lifetime. Statistically, the remainder of the reviews must rate this near god-like to raise the average rating to what it is.
To me, that stinks as much as the sloppy turd this movie is.
