Search: Starring Dave Franco

Blends zany character comedy and squeamishly surreal grossout with some postmodern wit and knowing parody of action cliché tropes.

Ideal summer entertainment.

There's something unconvincing about Seth Rogen playing a responsible adult that undercuts much of the comic tension in Bad Neighbours.

Rather than simply turn Tommy into a laughing stock, Franco teases out the tragicomedy of the man.

How the film avoids animation overload is with a script that apes cynical teenspeak and a voice cast that is ensemble perfection.

The piecemeal nature of Giovanni Boccaccio’s source material only adds to the sketch show feel, with as many moments missing the mark as hitting it.

The film has visual chops but leaves too many threads hanging

It's just clever enough to keep you guessing.

Any attempt to explain the detailed confusion of the storyline will cause brain damage.
