Seth Rogan is Mac Radner who along with his wife Kelly (Rose Byrne) are struggling to cope with their new parenting role and letting go of their youthful, exuberant, partying ways and becoming responsible adults. Their situation isn’t helped when the Delta Psi Beta fraternity set up off campus in a house next door and begin to party as fraternities know how to best.

Initially the Radners try to appeal to the leaders of the fraternity Teddy (Zac Effron) and Pete (Dave Franco) and initially it’s quite amicable as Teddy agrees to keep things low key as long as Mac deal with the directly and does not involve the police. The Radners are quite happy with this set up and even partake in one of the parties but it’s not long before the noise levels are just too much to ignore and the police are called. This only makes the situation worse and what then occurs is a battle of wills as the Radners try to force the powers that be to see what the fraternity is up to why dealing with increasing levels of antagonising from Teddy leading to all our war at the fraternities massive end-of-the-year party.

You generally know what you’re going to get with Rogan in a lead role and there’s nothing new here however the interaction with both Byrne and Effron works very well and he is perfect as the guy who still loves his old life but is doing his best to become a good parent. Byrne is possibly even more central to the plot as she pushes Rogans further and further into taking Effron on blow for blow. Effron does what he does best as the self centred head of house who loves nobody more than himself but is the weakest of the trio in terms of his plot and script.

In the end all the pieces are there for a good comedy movie. Director Nicholas Stoller has already given us Forgetting Sarah Marshall and get him To The Greek so he’s a great fit for this story and it all comes together to gives us a funny, if not hilarious movie, which you will laugh at but is still a repeat of the same gags we’ve seen from Rogan before with very little new material and unfortunately most of the best parts are shown in the trailer.
