Synopsis: A couple with a newborn baby face unexpected difficulties after they are forced to live next to a fraternity house.
If you liked the trailer for Neighbors, you’re going to like this movie. It’s pretty much just an extension of the trailer with over-the-top comedy gags and pranks that go for laughs. Pretty much, what you see is what you get.
