Film: Neighbors

Wesley Morris liked it.

Eh. I found it pretty forgettable. Mostly just gag after gag. Didn't build to anything substantial, didn't offer anything particularly interesting to say except "Am I still cool?" Made me wonder if it was a movie as opposed to a series of stunts.  Comedy films seem to be moving more towards Borat and Bad Grampa kinda humor -- basically raunchy gags strung together by a weak, uninspired, character arc.

I guess I still hope for a movie to be a movie - to be a story foremost and a genre second - but maybe comedy is different. I laughed a few times, but not very hard, and in no way cathartically.

And so can we safely say Zac Efron is on steroids?
