At this year’s SXSW, I made a ballsy proclamation by calling Neighbors the “Comedy of the Year,” despite it only being March and the SXSW cut still being a rough one that needed editing. The comedic chemistry between Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids) was completely surprising, and Zac Efron’s ability to actually be hilarious are some of the reasons why Neighbors was one of my favorite films from SXSW. With the film not receiving a theatrical release until next month, you’ll just have to take my word for it…
…or watch this new, MTV exclusive clip from the film featuring the aforementioned Byrne and Rogen alongside a bit role from Lisa Kudrow (Friends). If the clip isn’t enough, you can check out the film’s first trailer that released last September, as well as read my exclusive SXSW interviews with Ike Barinholtz and Jerrod Carmichael. Neighbors will be in theaters on May 9th.
