The USP here is the collision of frat-house and young-middle-aged-married-with kid comedy genres which works to a large extent. As the new parents who find they have a fraternity moving in as neighbours, Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are clearly enjoying themselves, and as the lead frats Zac Efron and Dave Franco are clearly a cut above the usual actors cast in these generic roles, and their sparring makes the film an easy and entertaining watch. There is some squandered potential here, as there are times when the musings on taking responsibility and moving on with life are sincere but do not feel quite developed enough at the expense of appealing to a younger demographic. The film also boasts the cutest scene-stealing baby in the movies ever.
