Mac and Kelly Radner have just bought a house in a quiet suburban neighborhood, trying to adjust to life with their baby. Their routine is upended when a rowdy fraternity moves into the house next door, led by Teddy. At first, they try to coexist with their loud new neighbors, but they’re soon drawn into an increasingly absurd clash.
The movie hinges on a clash of generations: a couple stubbornly clinging to their image as cool thirtysomethings on one side, and students who turn every night into a display of power on the other. The story idea sprang from a real incident about disturbances near a campus, which screenwriters Andrew Jay Cohen and Brendan O’Brien reworked into a neighborhood comedy.
Neighbors slots into the line of American comedies from the 2010s, balancing frat-house humor, a bite of adult-life satire, and a domestic showdown. Seth Rogen, who also produced the film, plays Mac, while Rose Byrne adds real heft to Kelly, fully embroiled in the war against the fraternity. Across the divide, Zac Efron portrays Teddy, the charismatic leader of a fraternity that also includes Dave Franco and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
Filming took place notably in the West Adams district of Los Angeles, where the crew hunted for two houses close enough to sustain a perpetual clash between the neighbors. That proximity becomes a key engine of the comedy: at every party, every provocation, and every act of retaliation, the two sides are drawn back into confrontation.
This Netflix arrival lets you discover or revisit the first installment before Nos pires voisins 2, which is also slated to arrive on the platform. The film is aimed at fans of irreverent American comédies, of comedic duos, and of stories where family life collides headlong with the last vestiges of youth.
