Just when you thought it was safe to move back to the neighbourhood, Bad Neighbours 2: Sorority Rising is set to unleash more neighbours from hell action on us.
Life is good for Mac Radner (Seth Rogen) and pregnant wife Kelly (Rose Byrne), until the unruly sisters of Kappa Nu move in next door. As loud parties continuously disrupt the peace, the couple turn to former neighbour and onetime enemy Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron) for help.
Now united with the fraternity stud, the trio devise schemes to get the wild sorority off the block. Unfortunately, the rebellious young women refuse to go down without a fight.
As you might expect, there promises to be plenty of bikini-clad woman in the movie but there has also been much talk of Zac Efron’s six-pack. The actor is also starring in the upcoming Baywatch movie in which he puts it to good use.
The first film, Bad Neighbours, was a surprise hit when it came out in 2014. In it new parents Mac (Seth Rogen) and Kelly (Rose Byrne) move to the suburbs when they welcome an infant daughter into their lives. All goes well with the couple until the Delta Psi Beta fraternity moves in next door. Mac and Kelly don’t want to seem uncool, and they try their best to get along with frat president Teddy (Zac Efron) and the rest of the guys. Two years later we have the sequel.
In a surprise casting move, Hit-Girl herself Chloë Grace Moretz (19) is the leader of the sorority girls. In the film, she plays Miranda Rodriguez, who turns the tables on Zac Efron, who was the nightmare neighbour from the original film. The actress has most recently been in such film as ‘The Fifth Wave’, and ‘The Equaliser’ with Denzel Washington.
Director Nicholas Stoller has tried to recreate the magic from the first film but already the sequel has garnered lukewarm reviews, with many branding the film as simply offensive. It is in cinemas now.
