MOVIE REVIEW: "BAD NEIGHBOURS" (2014)

“BAD NEIGHBOURS” PRESS REVIEW

Do you take stock of your neighbours?

I certainly do, for want of peace and quiet.

Selfish neighbours who indulge in deafening merrymaking can drive anybody nuts.

Rogen and Byrne play this young married couple called Mac and Kelly Radner.

They are basking in the warmth of family bliss, playing proud parents to a cute baby.

Everything seems picture perfect, until a fraternity of weirdo guys move in next door bringing along the parties.

Everybody knows it’s great to be young and yes, the president Teddy (Zac Efron) swears-to-God he will reduce the din of their late night parties.

Yet he is unable to keep up with his promise of bringing the noise down as the night wears on.

Instead the situation gotten worse.

Mac has no alternative but to enlist the cops – and whosh, that’s where everything turns topsy-turvy.

The blossoming neighbourly friendship is now damaged, with both sides savagely declaring war on each other.

 This is the crux of the story, the battles of two disgruntled neighbours.

“Bad Neighbours” could have been another raunchy comedy offering sex, drugs, profanity and swear words in the style of The Hangover and Bridesmaids.

However, director Nicholas Stoller delves one step deeper.

Laugh all you can, but there is a lesson about growing up to be learned here.

For  fans of the shirtless almost-naked Zac Efron, it can be just another pure slapstick.

For the older viewers, there is a rite of passage taking-you-down-memory lane, reliving college days and learning now what’s like to be a responsible father or mother.

It is as silly-as-you-can-get, yet entertaining and uproarious in some scenes.

Check it out!

RATING: 3 out of 5

MOVIE REVIEW: THAT AWKWARD MOMENT

“THAT AWKWARD MOMENT” PRESS REVIEW

“THAT AWKWARD MOMENT” is your smarter-than-average sex comedy, starring three hot studs. Believe it.

It’s a drooling experience for fans who love to see their pretty hunks taking an onscreen shit and indulging in shameless, sexual acts and banters. Truly.

If you are not an avid fan, then stay away.

But this is ASIA, where looks count more than anything else for the screaming kids.

It’s mind over matter and who cares about the script or award winning acting for this one?

This film directed by TOM GORMICAN is crafted for the young idolizing audience who will go to the cinema despite whatever reviews.

Shoo away the professional critics who will find every opportunity to plunder it to pieces. It’s their job, dearie.

But with  gorgeous ZAC EFRON, MILES TELLER and MICHAEL B. JORDON in the forefront boasting about their sexual prowess and steaming innuendos, it is a wow, wow, wow.

Hop on in!

Here’s the synopsis.

Zac Efron, Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan star in this R-rated comedy about three best friends who find themselves at crossroads, each having to decide whether to continue in their current relationship or to call it off.

They are brainless men with kiddo mentality who take delight in toying with their girlfriends’ feelings and whiling their time with anything remotely love in nature, but everything garnished with sex.

 All three men develop individual relationships they don’t want to tell one another, and eventually discover that, in general, women do not threaten their video game time or break their bro-hood.

This is one life lesson you can pick up here.

“THAT AWKWARD MOMENT” is a fun movie not to be taken seriously.

It is able to laugh at itself. I tried.

It has loads of gutsy sexy talks cajoling you to rest, relax and enjoy what life’s leading you when you are young. Men will be boys and you can only be young once.

To go or not to go, you decide after this.
