I want to be clear here. I do want to see this, but I’m already annoyed by it. The plot of this R-Rated comedy goodness is that Seth Rogan and Rose Byrne are a married couple with a baby. They get a house in a college town and end up living next to a fraternity. The frat is led by Zac Efron and a bunch of douche bag frat boys. They’re loud, obnoxious, and well… douche bags. They are bad neighbors which lead to Seth and Rose going to war with them. There looks to be a lot of back and forth in terms of pranks and asshole-ness. I’m sure it’ll be funny, but I have a hard time not wanting to destroy the frat kids myself. I can already imagine a lot of flat bill hats and plaid shorts. That stuff irks me in real life so seeing it on screen in such a strong douche bag presence is off-putting. I’m sure this movie will go too far and get extra extreme with its antics. I think the fact that I relate more to the married couple in age and maturity makes this movie almost seem like a task. I know I’ll be overly frusturated with the assholes of the movie. The main reasons I’m “in” though are because I do like the cast, Nick Stoller did great stuff with “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “Get Him to the Greek”, and in general it’s an R-rated comedy so I’m open to it. My expectations are low, which will probably be beneficial once I do sit down and watch this.
