	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Very funny at the outset and escalating steadily for most of its brisk running time, the film represents a big win for neophyte screenwriters Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O'Brien."	POS
United Kingdom	Henry Barnes The Guardian	"In its current state, 'Neighbors' is filthy, nasty and a bit too sloppy. But it’ll scrub up lovely. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Anthony Lane The New Yorker	"It's a promising setup, but it gets frittered away-partly by narrative laziness (...) but mainly by a flaccid belief in the power of the gross-out."	NEG
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"Zac Efron gives one of his most credible and intriguing performances in this winningly stupid frat comedy."	POS
United Kingdom	Olly Richards Empire	"A few big laughs but weakly drawn characters mean a film that is enjoyable enough in the moment but then quickly forgotten. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Operating in a sweet spot between the friendly and the nasty, and not straining to be daring, obnoxious or even especially original. It knows how to have fun."	POS
