       />was pretty forgettable. I can't imagine the movie made 'that
       kind of money' that would get a studio to green-light a sequel.
       Well, apparently it did. I dunno. Anyway, Neighbors 2: Sorority
       Rising is nothing more than a retread of the first film. It's
       literally a carbon copy, but instead of a Frat House, we are
       meant to sit through a 90 minute flick following the
       "adventures" of a Sorority House. Neighbors 2 is actually worst
       than the first because now we have  Zac Efron's character more
       or less wandering aimlessly looking for some sort of
       validation...a purpose in his life. It's meant to be funny, but
       it actually comes off sad and pathetic, which I doubt was the
       intent here. The other thing that is really baffling here is
       that the studio didn't even attempt to go for a Hard R here.
       Sorority = Naked Chicks. Well, that's what we would have gotten
       in the 80's or 90's. There isn't even a hint of anything
       salacious here. It's pretty tame by today's standards. You get
       more from music videos on YouTube these days.
       I'm at a loss for words when I hear that the sequel was and is
       "better and funnier" than the original. Seriously, what the
       f*ck?! Am I missing a humor gene all of the sudden? Are there
       jokes that I'm just not getting anymore and are going over my
       head? For anyone to claim this is a successful sequel and the
       blueprint of how to do a proper sequel, is either mentally
       deficient or functioning at a 3rd Grade level. As before, I will
       say there are a couple of funny bits, which is what I also
       pointed out in my review of the original. But this is NOT a good
       movie and NOT a funny one at that. Definitely a Skip and one I
       NEVER intend to watch again. One last thing, can someone please
       explain the longevity of Chloë Grace Moretz's career? She was
       and is horrible in this movie. Honestly, I don't get how she is
       in high demand when pretty much everything I've seen her in is
       bad. The ONLY thing I ever thought she was good at was of course
       as Hit-Girl in Kick-Ass. Beyond that, I'm scratching my head how
       she says employed.

       I guess it depends on who is saying the good stuff about the
       sequel. Studios,  Marketing will squeeze out anything good
       towards their product if they can. And plenty of folks will say
       sh*t just to see their name out there.
       I do remember some about the first flick. Sequel... not a clue.
       Don't even remember if I picked it up.
