A bit of self-awareness goes a long way in elevating this comedy sequel above the 2014 original.

Richard Brody, New Yorker
Rotten

There's a lot of empty improv in this Neighbors 2, scenes that have no real direction and no drive; the movie is all digression and shouted exposition.

Will Leitch, The New Republic
Rotten

There are about six really good laughs during the film's 92-minute running length.

The film's hurry to rush through its plethora of characters becomes a strength, because we don't have enough time to get bored by any one scene. The set pieces may be thin, but they show flickers of genuine warmth.

Andrew Lapin, NPR

This sequel turns out to be a gross-out comedy with a pro-woman streak (instead of sexy selfies or bro-luring bacchanals, the sorority throws a "feminist icon" party). And it just about works.
