It stars Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, and Zac Efron.Mac and Kelly Radner (Rogen and Byrne) are a married couple with a newborn baby, and they find that raising a child has cut into their social life.

| Neighbors (2014) / int_11a74598 | comment |
Became Their Own Antithesis: In order to safe their house, Kappa Nu ends up resorting to the same sexist and demeaning behavior as the fraternities, the very behavior that drove them to create the sorority in the first place. | |

Parenting the Husband | |
| Neighbors (2014) / int_1328fd9d | comment |
Parenting the Husband: Refreshingly averted; not only does Kelly help Mac with the schemes against the frat, but she's appalled when Mac admits he wants her to be the one who keeps him from doing crazy/stupid things, responding that just because she's the wife doesn't mean she doesn't have the urge to do crazy things too. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Neighbors (2014) / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers make the feud look very one sided with the fraternity depicted as purely malicious bullies terrorising the innocent Radners. In the actual film the feud is much more a Grey-and-Gray Morality one, with Teddy and his friends having several Pet the Dog moments while the Radners stoop pretty low themselves. | |

Mr. Fanservice: Teddy, natch, when you're played by Zac Efron, you're automatically this. It also helps him get a post-college career at Abercrombie & Fitch, and there's a prolonged Shirtless Scene at the end that seems to say "Thanks for watching, ladies, and now: here's the reason you bought a ticket." Fan Disservice: Seth Rogen gets topless in the same scene. | |

Villain Ball: Teddy taunting the Radners about their daughter. This is after the conflict has died down and it turns out to lead to the end of his frat. Justified as it's heavily implied that he wants the war to continue to deal with his anxiety over the future. | |

Calling Card: Jimmy loves leaving a calling card after he does a "crime", and he does so when he, Mac, and Kelly are able to attract more people than allowed to Delta Psi's party. Problem is, the frat's university uses a Latin motto, while Jimmy writes it in Hebrew. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Neighbors (2014) / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Both sides have this. The Radners are a lot more like the frat boys than they initially appear to be. Teddy has deep anxiety about his future. Pete actually cares about his education and is on his way of making a future for himself. The sequel goes even further with Teddy in this regard. He's actually quite smart but is absolutely unable to think about anything other than partying. For example: he shows he's able to do relatively fast math... but only if it's about calculating the prices of weed. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Knowing that the frats have booby trapped the house with airbags, Mac carefully tests every chair. He then carefully tests his daughter's crib, and is relieved that it's not booby trapped. In fact, most of the frats' more violent pranks focus on Mac and largely leave Kelly alone. | |

Trailers Always Lie: The trailers and posters make it seems as if Teddy is on the Radners side from the beginning and that they contacted him from help. In the actual movie he starts off on the girls' side and only switches teams halfway through the movie after being betrayed by the Kappa Nu sisters. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Neighbors (2014) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Pete tries his hardest to convince Teddy that, despite his fraternity achievements being Serious Business to him, they don't matter a whole lot outside of college, and that he needs to focus less on Delta Psi shenanigans and more on what he'll do after graduation. By the end, Teddy realizes that Pete was right, and he starts attending night school to make up for lost time. As it turns out, the first movie caused Teddy to get a criminal record so he has trouble finding jobs by the time of the second movie. A paediatrician joking about a baby contracting AIDS from a used condom isn't funny, it's horrifying. Mac and Kelly are understandably pissed. | |

Book Dumb | |
| Neighbors (2014) / int_53136954 | comment |
Book Dumb: Teddy might be this. His grades are very poor (because he apparently never goes to class) and he's hopelessly naive about the 'legacy' of Delta Psi but otherwise he seems pretty sharp in contrast to the genuinely stupid likes of Scoonie and Garf. Notably he realizes the importance of winning over the neighbors (at least at first) and it's his idea to sell Delta Psi dildos, making the fraternity a lot of money. | |

Women Are Wiser | |
| Neighbors (2014) / int_565106b3 | comment |
Women Are Wiser: Defied and mocked by Kelly when Mac asks her why she's not reining in his crazy revenge fantasies — she herself has those same urges. Seth Rogen stated in an interview that the wife character was written in the usual way until he showed his real wife the script and she pointed out that she'd get just as into it as he did. The sequel is also running on defying this concept, showing that Sororities are equally capable of pulling the same shenanigans. | |

Growing Up Sucks: Mac and Kelly hate the fact that their becoming parents has put a major crimp on their old social lives. Likewise, a major part of Teddy starting the dispute is due to wanting to live in the now rather than face the fact that he has few prospects after college. | |

Police Are Useless: Big time. They don't respond to a noise complaint and the responding officer actually warns the frat that they got a complaint. Though it is at least partly the fault of the Radners as they lie outright about making an anonymous complaint and then immediately get caught in another lie about partying with the frat the previous evening. | |

| Neighbors (2014) / int_5ead4a96 | comment |
Sinister Sorority Sisters: Kappa Nu are idiotic straw feminists, who kick out Teddy, who helped them to start the sorority, because "guys are idiots". They're pretty dumb themselves, and when they need money, they become drug dealers, sending all their competition on campus to prison. Even then, they don't do their own dirty work, but get minions to do it for them. | |

Plot Hole | |
| Neighbors (2014) / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: The first film explained why the other neighbors didn't complain about the noise the frat made, namely that the frat members were doing chores for them. In this film, Kappa Nu does no such thing so there's no reason for the other neighbors to not complain as well. | |

Serious Business | |
| Neighbors (2014) / int_6b35bdff | comment |
Pete tries his hardest to convince Teddy that, despite his fraternity achievements being Serious Business to him, they don't matter a whole lot outside of college, and that he needs to focus less on Delta Psi shenanigans and more on what he'll do after graduation. By the end, Teddy realizes that Pete was right, and he starts attending night school to make up for lost time. | |

Deconstructive Parody | |
| Neighbors (2014) / int_6dcbe9aa | comment |
Deconstructive Parody: Of the frat boy comedies Rogen starred in. Namely, it shows how reasonable people would act surrounded by characters from these movies, and how the frat guys are pathetic, petty Man-Children who are unwilling to accept maturity. It also deconstructs The Stoner, with the characters' (both the Radners' and the frat boys') habitual use of both weed and weed jokes with their friends depicted as a major sign of their inability to grow up and let go of their Glory Days. | |

Police Brutality | |

Police Brutality: Played for Laughs twice. Garf has joined the town's police force since graduating and wonders why he needs to wear a body camera since he's a black guy. Later on, Watkins (who is also black) manhandles two groups of pot dealers who are Caucasian but is extremely polite to the group of black pot dealers, much to Garf's confusion. | |

Straw Feminist | |
| Neighbors (2014) / int_76d233f9 | comment |
Straw Feminist: Subverted with Shelby, who is set up to be this, being a misandrist with daddy issues that MUST throw parties for a month in order to subvert sexist anti-sorority rules.note To be fair, the rules are very sexist. However, she quickly resolves tensions with her father, pointing out to him that being at college means she gets to be her own parent, and she respects Teddy when he offers to help her, at least at first. The final element of her character is played with as it's shown how damaging frat parties are for girls, but Shelby decides to take a more realistic solution for the problem she causes in the end by renting the Radner home as an overflow house while still throwing fun sorority parties. It's implied that Shelby's dad is more than a bit feminist himself: he says to her "So you get to be as dumb as boys now?" This is perhaps one reason why they resolve their issues so easily. | |

Fiendish Fraternity | |
| Neighbors (2014) / int_7efc6df7 | comment |
Fiendish Fraternity: Played with and zigzagged. The Radners, a married couple with an infant, become annoyed at the fraternity who moves in next door, because they don't keep their noise down. However, the guys at Delta Psi Beta seem to be uncouth party boys at worst: most of the gruesomeness they get up to (e.g. dumping their trash on the Radners' lawn, a fight that injures a passing professor) is at least partially the result of their escalating feud with the Radners, who are notably surprised when Teddy shows kindness during the hazing ceremony. | |

Revenge: Teddy is partially motivated to help Shelby and her friends get their sorority started out of a desire to get payback on the Radners, as the criminal record the previous movie left him with has made it difficult for him to get a good job. He later switches sides and teams up with the Radners because the Kappa Nu's kick him out. | |

More Deadly Than the Male | |
| Neighbors (2014) / int_a3458bf2 | comment |
More Deadly Than the Male: Kappa Nu's attacks against the Radners are nowhere near as physically dangerous as Delta Psi's, but are considerably meaner. When Delta Psi was in need of cash they resorted to skeevy but harmless means. When Kappa Nu becomes desperate for cash they become actual drug dealers and ruthlessly eliminate all the competition on campus, sending them all to jail. Unlike Delta Psi's pledges, who were definitely loyal to the frat, Kappa Nu has literal minions who do all the grunt work and never get to participate in the parties. | |

The Password Is Always "Swordfish": The "Lion's Den" (i.e. the storeroom of important stuff like drugs, alcohol, fireworks, and ping pong paddles), is protected by a three-digit password. Mac and Kelly have little trouble guessing that a bunch of fairly immature stoners like Delta Psi would use "420" for the password. | |

The Bro Code: Directly referenced, and the attempt to avert this ends up being one of the strikes against the frat. | |

Pretentious Latin Motto: The university has one (as in real-life universities). It becomes a plot point when Mac, Kelly, and Jimmy plan to spread the party to others. Jimmy writes in Hebrew as a Calling Card instead. Oops. | |

Dude, Not Funny! | |
| Neighbors (2014) / int_cdd835ce | comment |
Dude, Not Funny!: Four In-Universe examples. The airbag prank is seen as this to Mac especially, since it could easily have led to Stella being injured or killed. The Second-Act Breakup is seen as this by Pete, who is a child of divorce. Teddy says that as a child of two loving parents, he finds it hilarious. And when Mac asks: "What gets a frat kicked out of college fastest?", Jimmy replies, all too enthusiastically, with "RAPE!" Mac and Kelly can only stare at him, appalled. Even Jimmy realizes this, and immediately apologizes. When the doctor jokes about Stella having HIV. | |

Anti-Villain | |
| Neighbors (2014) / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: Much like the frat in the first film Shelby and her friends are depicted pretty sympathetically for antagonists. They're immature and take things too far but they're also standing up against a genuinely sexist mentality and are anxious about being away from home for the first time in their lives and scared of being alone at college. | |

Would Not Hurt A Child: Despite all their violent pranks against Mac and Kelly, the frats avoid exposing their daughter to harm, at least until near the end when Teddy taunts the parents that he and his frats will do everything in their power to corrupt their daughter. | |

Hand Wave | |
| Neighbors (2014) / int_dbb414ed | comment |
Hand Wave: The film only briefly explains why the other neighbors aren't complaining about the noise, namely that frat members are doing chores for everyone in the neighborhood, except the Radners. This probably would not work in reality, but without this explanation, this movie's plot would grind to a halt. | |

Manchild: Teddy is in the exact same place in his life he was at during the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue of the previous movie, while his friends and frat brothers have become responsible adults. This becomes even more pronounced when he moves in with the Radners and they have to take care of him like a child. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: Again for all parties. The Kappa Nus make enough money to keep their house and decide to thank the Radners for helping them by renting theirs out so they have space for all of their members to live. The Radners then move to their new home where they can't even see their neighbors. Teddy finally finds his niche by starting a successful gay wedding planning business and patches things up with Pete, who has Teddy be his best man at his wedding. | |
