Zac Efron, Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne and Dave Franco have managed to achieve the impossible. They have helped craft the most hysterical, raunchy, disgusting and engaging film from a poorly scripted frat-house comedy.

“Neighbors,” Universal Pictures’ latest R-rated comedy giant, was pre-screened last Thursday in the CUB auditorium. Before the opening credits finished flashing across the screen, the room was roaring with laughter.

Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne play a young couple who have just purchased their first home and given birth to their first child. The opening sequence of the film works hard at setting the seemingly always-drunk Rogen in a responsibly broken parent position. Byrne is immediately established as an obscene yet strong and composed mother figure.

Less than 10 minutes in, the film picks up with the entrance of the Delta Psi fraternity moving in next door. This twist begins a hilarious game of “who’s-better-than-who” that explodes (literally) into an all-out war.

Efron and Franco, president and vice president of the fraternity, try to win over Rogen and Byrne. After a series of intense party sequences involving numerous blunt gags, deformed penises and drinking games, the tables turn when Rogen and Byrne’s child is put in danger.

For the first time since High School Musical, Efron has graduated to the role he was born to play. The bittersweet relationship he has with Rogen and the bromance he carries with Franco make some of the best moments of the film.

Throughout the rest of the film, the couple becomes determined to scare the fraternity away. After a brief history of Delta Psi inspires the entire house to host the greatest party of all time, the fraternity becomes equally determined to scare the couple away.

While the film lacks any real substance outside of the tension between post-college adults and students, most notably fraternity brothers, the quality of the sight gags and dialogue do more than enough to win any viewer over.

Highlights of the film include stoned Efron and Rogen, drunk Efron and Rogen, shirtless Efron and Rogen, and a violent fist fight between the two that escalates into a plastic penis battle.

This film manages to make heroes and villains out of both sides while pushing the hardest heart to shed a tear for Delta Psi.

Gags about babies with HIV, breast pumping and damaged body parts compose the rest of the picture and may make the weak of heart uneasy. But, there isn’t much less you can expect from a film rated R for excessive nudity, graphic violence and explicit party scenes.

“Neighbors” managed to hit all the right marks and won over an auditorium full of college students. Time will tell if it manages to become the comedy king it claims it should this summer.

It will be released nationally this Friday, May 9.
