Bad Neighbours
Bad Neighbours will make you feel old.
Casting Seth Rogen in a role where he's a father and angry at the partying, drug taking students next door really hits home how fast time goes.
Thankfully, it makes no difference to his acting persona and he's still his incredible self and steals every scene in the film.
Credit must therefore go to one time High School Musical floppy haired heartthrob Zac Efron who more than stands up to Rogen and plays his part superbly.
Unfortunately, this doesn't quite match up to Rogen's Apatow-produced past; a lot of the comedy comes from visual jokes rather than the script and it suffers from the 'funny-bits-are-in-the-trailer' syndrome.
However, it's a nice change in premise (although not without its plot holes) and it's thoroughly enjoyable just not a classic.
