'The Neighbors' Makes Us Want to Pledge

by Anna Klassen

If life in a fraternity were anything like how it is portrayed in the new trailer for Zac Efron's The Neighbors , we might consider enlisting — er, pledging. Starring Efron as the naughty frat president who lives next door, and the straight-laced-but-still-wants-to-be-considered-cool-by-the-youngins new father Seth Rogen, the neighborly disputes that ensure are sure to be an epic battle royale. Coupled with Rose Byrne playing Rogen's wife and Dave Franco playing Efron's fratty sidekick, the back-and-forth battles (the neighbors call the cops, the frat house breaks into their car, and so forth) remind us of one giant, grown-up re-envisioning of Home Alone. It also makes us want to join a frat house. (And I guarantee you that is the first and last time you'll read that statement on this site.)

Skeptical? I would be too. But here's seven reasons why we'd like to make this particular frat house next door our new residence.

1. Zac Efron

Whether he's trying to "Get cha head in da game," or attempting to seduce you after seeing your photo in a dusty war zone, The Neighbors serves Efron our favorite way: Steaming hot, shirtless, with his shirt billowing open, or in a muscle shirt.

2. Themed parties like "Robert De Niro"

3. A swimming pool full of your closest friends

4. Zac Efron

...talking about the size of his balls ("too big" is the correct size).

5. Constant BBQ's and other outdoor activities

6. Clever Tomfoolery tricks

Like breaking into cars and stealing airbags only to replant them in unsuspecting office chairs. Dangerous? Yes. Illegal? Certainly. Worth it? Eh....YES.

7. Zac Efron

...drinking out of small, ladylike teacups. I love college!
