Film 47 - Bad Neighbours

Bad Neighbours - 10/05/2014

I don't want to seem as though I am getting old, but in my 35th year, I finally think I have reached a certain point.

Music doesn't seem like actual music anymore, kids really do not respect their elders and Seth Rogan really needs to accept that "stoner comedies" are just not funny, and I really did think that there was a serious over-use of the F word in Neighbours and 99% of it was just not needed.

We had seen the trailer a couple of times before seeing this, and believe me the "funny bits" are in there.  Which when you have already seen the funny bits a few times before, they stop becoming funny and you just smile.  When your saving grace was what you actually showed in the trailer, then there is not really much point in seeing the film.

Seth Rogan and Rose Byrne are terrible parents, mixing with the all night raves with magic mushrooms, weed and copious amounts of alcohol with the new fraternity that has moved next door, whilst listening for whimpers from their beautiful little girl via a baby monitor.  When the parties don't stop, the parents decide enough is enough and decide to quieten down the frat.

I have not felt like walking out of a film since "Nine Months" (which is probably the worst film I have ever seen at the cinema), but today I was very close to doing this.  If they had solely focussed on the new parents struggling with their new born daughter and the trials that come with (as these bits seemed to work in the film) then I may have been midly interested, but the constant f-ing and stoner attitude got boring really quickly.

Maybe it is just me getting old, but this one is a film to avoid....or just watch the trailer (it's less painful)
