When you become a parent, you need to grow up – despite the fact that you really don’t want to!
Starring: Seth Rogen and Zac Efron
Plot: Kelly and Mac are settling down in a quiet neighbourhood with their new-born child, until the frat brothers move into the house next door. Teddy is the President, and Pete is his right hand man. 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 end ups on thin ice with their college and make sure that they will spend their last few days before the vacation filled with booze, sex and partying.
Remarks: The story is incredibly clichéd. Sure. But Seth Rogen and Zac Efron did something right with this one. Seth’s character seems to releate with people in their late 20’s – the people who need to grow up even though they could think of nothing worse. The family and frat brothers first take a liking to each other before everything goes pear shaped. While the film is a silly one, it’s actually great to see Zac playing a typical guy his age – filled with partying and cursing. This is definitely one that will keep you in stitches all the way through. Oh, and as you can tell from the trailer, this is a light-hearted movie… Not one that will win awards!
Rating: 3.5/5
