By Eric Walkuski

You most certainly don’t want Zac Efron and Dave Franco for neighbors. At least, not in NEIGHBORS, the bonkers new comedy that sees the pair play heads of a rambunctious frat house. It would be fun to party with these guys once or twice, but the good times stop rolling when you realize the party literally never stops. And if you’re the Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne characters in the film and you’ve got a baby to raise, well, you might go to extreme lengths to shut the shindig down.

In the interview below, I speak to Efron and Franco about the frantic atmosphere on the frat house set, Franco’s concerns that he’s been typecast as a “douchebag,” and working with the hilarious and unpredictable Seth Rogen.
