Critics Consensus

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising may not be strictly necessary, but it still wrings a surprising amount of humor from a recycled premise with a distaff twist.

[The film] places as much focus on a smart gender twist and sympathetic concerns about how the characters will progress.

This comedy with a conscience is not as ridiculously funny as Old School. But in its own way, it is as much fun.

'Neighbors 2' surprises by mixing serious undertones in with the fun-stuff... Talents of Rogen and Byrne up the grade of this comedic follow-up.

2/5

In reigning in Bad Neighbours 2: Sorority Rising and making it more politically correct than the original film in the franchise the powers-that-be behind the film have made this a largely unfunny film that rehashes old jokes

The law of diminishing returns comes down with Mjölnir force on this needless sequel.

The funniest and enjoyable movie I watched. looking at parents trying to figure it out for their better life, learning how to be good parents to their two two daughters dealing with crazy neighbors who were also trying to build with their lives and be able to manage their College life as grown ups and free to live how they want. Loved how it ended all stopping to to fight and instead helped to reach to their goals.

Ok I guess I saw this film first the second time but after that I just thought The Girls were being hypocritical and Teddy really wanted to help them out. I think that Max going to Australia scene should’ve been in like Family Guy still liked it though. Black Skinhead from this film is the best that came out of it.

The magic is gone in Neighbours 2, which is a shame. The film's decision to go with a predictable, unoriginal plot makes it feel like a lazy sequel, lacking the fun and chemistry of the first. Grading: D+

Funnier than the original. Good watch for something funny where you don't have to think much.

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. It is a spin off to the movie “Neighbors” starring Seth rogan and Zach efron in both movies. I’m not sure how the director watched this product and released it to the film industry.
