Alien at the Movies

Mac & Kelly (Seth Rogen & Rose Byrne) are back, expecting a second child, & have their house in escrow, only to find out a sorority is moving into the former frat house next door. So the silly battle between the neighbors continues. Zac Efron also returns to the neighborhood to assist both sides but mainly appears shirtless as much as possible. The film has its moments but generally it feels too forced & contrived to create cheap & gross jokes for laughs. Chloe Grace Moretz & her nerdy sorority sisters can't quite pull it off in this new rivalry. These sisters don't seem to push their boundaries & be edgy enough for a real rowdy romp. Selena Gomez & Lisa Kudrow have film credits but their screen time amounts to not much more a long cameo. Still, look for at least one more cameo. The credits due thank Lena Dunham & Amy Schumer but their appearances may have been left on the editing room floor or so brief they were missed. Filmmakers try to justify some raunchy & politically incorrect behavior with lame equality/sexism excuses.  

Alien gives it 2 "Kappa Nu" stars out of 4.
