“As I write this review, there are around 200 reviews posted. As far as I can tell, fewer than 10 of them rate this film at 7 stars or above, yet its average rating is slightly more than 7 stars. In fact, while the vast majority of reviews on the first five pages give it only 1 star, the ratings summary says that only 1.2% of those rating it gave it just 1 star.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a long way of saying that itu0026#39;s now inescapable fact that trolls, spoofers, and studio shills dominate the site. A system is only useful until enough people figure out how to game it, and this is (sadly) now the case for this site.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOn to the review: Neighbors had a big challenge to overcome with me, as I just donu0026#39;t normally find Seth R. and his u0026quot;Seth Packu0026quot; to be very funny. Unfortunately, this film fails on every level to provide either humor or entertainment. Itu0026#39;s a rare film that can depict all characters as totally unsympathetic and get away with it. After all, the viewer needs to be able to identify with SOMEONE in a story or film, even if itu0026#39;s the third-party narrator. This movie has absolutely no sympathetic characters in it at all. Itu0026#39;s the essence of comedic nihilism. I didnu0026#39;t like any of the characters, none of them said anything that was vaguely funny, and I didnu0026#39;t identify with any point of view expressed in the film. To make matters worse, the director relied solely on profanity and Tu0026amp;A for shock value.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTotally worthless movie. Donu0026#39;t waste your time.”
