Neighbors film review leaves audience itching to move away
The critique finds Neighbors uncomfortable and unfunny despite Aykroyd and Moriarty delivering overstated eccentricity. Vic and Ramona irritate Reese and Enid with pranks while Kathryn Walker’s Enid creates the strongest irritation. A few bright moments, like a pool cue mishap, momentarily spark humor, but the Granada screening mostly prompts a longing to return to the city.
