Set Up is the Same, but Remains a Fun Flick,
29 May 2016
Bad Neighbours 2: Sorority Rising is a good movie with a well written storyline and a terrific comedic cast. As a sequel, it manages to stand on its own, telling a fun story that's jam packed with laughs and also having some surprising heart. It continues developing the story of the characters we met in the first movie, such as Mac and Kelly's relationship and Teddy's lack of concern about his future, it wraps up characters arch's which is something you rarely see in comedy sequels that I really appreciated.

As for the plot, it does wear thin at times, suffering from being far too similar to its predecessor, as we see Mac and Kelly once again going up against their new neighbours that are troublesome and loud. It hits similar beats far too often and can feel a bit repetitive.

Some of the humour is also a lot cruder than the first movie, such as a scene where the sorority throws tampons at the house and a constant obsession to show a baby holding on to a sex toy, which did not make me chuckle, merely recycling a joke that worked once before.

While it certainly is not as original as the first, Bad Neighbours 2: Sorority Rising is still a lot of fun and brings in the laughs, worth the watch if you are looking for a good, mindless comedy.

Mac and Kelly must once again face off against a group of college students moving in next door as they struggle to sell their home before the arrival of their second child.
