Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising Reviews
In reigning in Bad Neighbours 2: Sorority Rising and making it more politically correct than the original film in the franchise the powers-that-be behind the film have made this a largely unfunny film that rehashes old jokes
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 29, 2024
The law of diminishing returns comes down with Mjölnir force on this needless sequel.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 18, 2021
A smarter and more mature film than the first...
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 5, 2021
It's genial, just as good neighbours should be.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 3, 2021
Neighbors 2 succeeds by being both funny in every scene and by recognizing both the comedic and dramatic value of a burgeoning new wave of young feminists...

The funniest moments are the unrelated, extraneous conversations that fill up space between physical actions.
| Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 5, 2020
Serves up far more hits than misses including a couple cameos that work including Lisa Kudrow and a pretty hilarious and pointed bit involving comic Hannibal Buress.
| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 18, 2020
The topic of sexual politics in college is noteworthy, but it's wrapped in a premise that doesn't offer anything new to the table.
| Original Score: B- | Jul 13, 2020
Neighbors 2 falls into the same traps as many previous comedy sequels, chiefly that, instead of a coherent story, it plays out like a series of hilarious bits strung together into a loose narrative.
| Original Score: B- | Jul 3, 2020
If you enjoy Seth Rogen's humour, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising will make you laugh a lot. [Full review in Spanish]

Zac Efron's quarter-life-crisising Teddy brings some laughs, but the rest of the film and its "message" are just laughable.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 23, 2020
It's not as funny as the first film, but if you like the characters, you'll probably like this one.

Sadly, the sequel's vaguely feminist slant fails to produce enough decent jokes to earn our goodwill. And it's not just the gags about dildos and tampons that seem tired. So do the characters.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 3, 2019
The movie has its flaws, but cast cohesion goes a long way.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 19, 2019
There's nothing new in this sequel, but it sure is entertaining. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Feb 5, 2019
Feels more like reheated leftovers than a film that expands on the success of the original.
| Original Score: C | Jan 15, 2019
What Rogen et al. are pointing out is that sometimes, in order to retain some modicum of power, women have to compromise in ways men don't.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Dec 25, 2018
I found the social awareness satisfying and funny without ruffling too many feathers. If only more studios could find a way to include current issues with their films.
| Nov 14, 2018
A worthy sequel that feels like the characters: a little more grown-up, a little more timely and a lot more confident in what it strives to be, which is a damn good comedy.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 1, 2018
There's enough that works here for it to be an enjoyable enough experience, but I do feel like this is a movie I'm going to mostly forget about by summer's end.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 1, 2018
