The miserably titled Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is a sequel in the most classic sense: the key players have all returned, and the setting hasn’t changed. It’s a retread with higher stakes. But even if you were a fan of 2014's surprise hit Neighbors, a follow-up could seem like a hard sell. This couple again?…
Neighbors, the unexpectedly great 2014 comedy about a raucous fraternity that moves in next to a boring married couple, is getting a sequel.

Seth Rogen is officially old and making movies about what an old crank he is, if the preview for his new movie Neighbors is anything to go by. He and Rose Byrne play a married couple with a very cute baby that start to lose it when a fraternity moves in next door, headed up by Zac Efron. Also DAVE FRANCO ALERT HELLO.…
After engaging in some vintage Ross-and-Racheling over the summer, rumors are floating that John Mayer proposed to Katy Perry but she turned him down like a maid does beds in a Julian Fellowes drama. Way harsh, Tai. Popcrush reports:
