Short description
A couple with a newborn baby face unexpected difficulties after they are forced to live next to a fraternity house.
What's left behind the scenes
- The initiation rite that the students undergo to join the fraternity is a real rite of the "Sigma Nu" fraternity.
- On the day Dave Franco was scheduled to film a love scene, he got a spot on his butt and had to ask the makeup artist to cover it with makeup.
- The scene with the child turning around to look at Mac and Kelly having sex was filmed by accident. Initially, the scene was supposed to end when Mac flipped Kelly over, but the director noticed the child's curiosity and instructed one of the operators to film him at that moment. According to the director, if you listen carefully, you can hear Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne laughing in the background when the child turns to look at them.
- All the actors agreed to a significant pay cut to help save money for the film's budget.
- Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally (who are married in real life) played a cameo role as Christopher Mintz-Plasse's parents, but the scene featuring them was ultimately cut from the film.
- Zac Efron broke his arm during the filming of a fight scene with Dave Franco. The screenwriters and producers panicked and began planning how the broken arm would fit into the plot and how much it would affect the film's budget. However, they were surprised to learn that, after an emergency operation, Efron would be able to return to the set the very next day.
- In Australia and the United Kingdom, the film was released under the title "Bad Neighbours" to avoid confusion with the television series "Neighbours" (1985). A video of Seth Rogen singing the theme song from the show was even posted on the official Universal studio Facebook page.
- Initially, the plot of the film was supposed to tell the story of Mac and his friends clashing with a fraternity, but after Seth Rogen's wife read the script, she said his friends wouldn't care about a war with a fraternity and advised him to write his wife into the script instead.
- According to the actors and director of the film, the twins Elize Vargas and Zoya Vargas, who played the role of Stella, behaved surprisingly well, constantly smiled, and were in good spirits. The only time one of the girls cried was during the filming of a scene where Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne were yelling at each other.
- On August 26, 2013, the original title of the film – "Townies" – was changed to "Neighbors."
- The final scene between Mac and Teddy at the "Abercrombie and Fitch" store was completely improvised. Zac Efron had no idea Seth Rogen would take his shirt off.
- The fraternity house number 2202 can be seen on the sidewalk. And when the police officer calls for backup, he states the number 2203.
- During the conversation between Kelly and Mac, as their new neighbors move in, people in the background appear and disappear.
- All the actors and the crew became so attached to the twins who played Stella that on the last day of filming, they all came to say goodbye to them.
- The film recouped its production budget on its first day of release in the US.
