To me, Seth Rogen never fails to be brilliant. Knocked Up, This is the End, 50/50, Pineapple Express and Superbad are only a handful of good quality comedy movies that he has produced. This time he takes on the role of the first time dad who has to deal with a frat house moving in next door. I remember in an interview, Seth Rogen stating that he used to think Zac Efron was a "douche" or something to that extent until he worked with him. If I’m honest, I completely agree with him. Efron has never been my kind of actor, but maybe that’s just because he’s never had the right role. Here he does, and I see a completely new side to him. His chemistry with Dave Franco is just superb, and I don't think the film would have worked without either of them.

The film opens with Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne having "sexual relations" to put it politely in front of their new baby in the bouncer and this really does set the tone. This truly does provide you with the kind of humour you have come to expect from Rogen; hilariously exploiting modern society’s views on sex, drugs and alcohol. And even though he’s done it so many times before, it never gets boring, he’s just that good.
