What is Neighbors about?
A couple with a newborn baby face unexpected difficulties after they are forced to live next to a fraternity house.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
Yes. It lands on a happy note.
Neighbors (2014)
New parents battle a wild fraternity next door, escalating into a raunchy, pulpy neighborhood war.
Campy and darkly comic, with raunchy humor. A date-night pick at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
