Zac Efron gives a wickedly funny turn as the frat-boy foe of suburban couple Josh Rogen and Rose Byrne in this lewd, crude and often riotously funny comedy

Zac Efron gives a wickedly funny turn as the frat-boy foe of suburban couple Josh Rogen and Rose Byrne in this lewd, crude and often riotously funny comedy.

The thirtyish yuppie duo try to get on with their new neighbours, but the generation-gap friction eventually escalates into all-out war.

Rogen, Byrne and Efron throw themselves into the ensuing comic mayhem with gusto, while director Nicholas Stoller gives the pranks and japes a rollicking momentum.

Gags involving plaster-cast penises, obscene topiary and alcohol-laced breast milk won't be to all tastes, but at its slapstick best the film is uproarious.
