Negative Positive
Title: Give it at least two viewings
Review: When I first saw "Neighbors", I didn't get it.On the way home, I found myself tranfixed by lines and scenes in the movie. After seeing it a second time, I was hooked. This is one of the funniest movies Belushi and Ackroyd made.Without sounding too high-brow, it is an excellent character study of the up-tight white suburban male. Earl(Belushi) struggles to maintain his calm, normal lifestyle in the face of a nagging wife, wild teen daughter, and zany neighbors. However, in the end, he gives up and goes along. It would never work to have the reverse (have Vic, become the straight one).As I said in the title, you have to watch this a second time. When you do, you will find yourself saying things like,"I like my coffee black and tepid."
