A Champion of Hollywood Studio Avant-Garde

Vic: We're waiting, or do I have to pound it out of you?
Earl Keese: Don't ever speak to me like that in my own house!
Vic: Why would I?
Earl Keese: You just did.
Vic: I didn't mean anything - it's just something a guy says.
Earl Keese: I never say it.
Vic: I don't blame you.

Simply one of the witty exchanges in the post-modern Robert Riskin vein. Much too much.

What more can one say... experience it with some spaghetti from Caesar's Garlic Wars, a Small Spaghetti and Wine Dealership at Valley Field Mall on Route 3 next to the Cinema-Cineplex and the Singer Sewing Center.

If I could, I would buy a beer for every single Amazon critique who graced NEIGHBORS with 5 Gold Stars. I'm a Guinness Monster myself.

What next: DVD including these features - DTS and Dolby 5.1; Isolated Score Track; Audio Commentary by Dan Aykroyd, Cathy Moriarty, Gerald Hirshfield, Bill Conti and John G. Avildsen; Deleted Scenes; Outtakes; Script-To-Screen Comparision; Behind-The-Scenes Documentary; a list of all the drugs John Belushi scored while shooting the film on Staten Island; and an interactive trivial knowledge game. The box set with CD soundtrack, lobby cards and film frame would be nice too as a Limited Edition type thing.

It will happen. They did it for BUCKAROO BANZAI.

Buy this piece of late 20th Century Avant-Garde Midnight Cinema.

Godard LOVES this movie.

Give it at least two viewings

When I first saw "Neighbors", I didn't get it.
On the way home, I found myself tranfixed by lines and scenes in the movie. After seeing it a second time, I was hooked. This is one of the funniest movies Belushi and Ackroyd made.
Without sounding too high-brow, it is an excellent character study of the up-tight white suburban male. Earl(Belushi) struggles to maintain his calm, normal lifestyle in the face of a nagging wife, wild teen daughter, and zany neighbors. However, in the end, he gives up and goes along. It would never work to have the reverse (have Vic, become the straight one).
As I said in the title, you have to watch this a second time. When you do, you will find yourself saying things like,
"I like my coffee black and tepid."

THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER

This is by far my FAVORITE movie of all time, I have always been in total shock that it was a quote FLOP. Anyone who "gets" this movie is awesome in my book and definitly has a sense of humor. I own it on video but I MUST HAVE IT ON DVD, PLEASE RELEASE THIS ON DVD!!!!
But then again as Arthur Bremmer once said how many things go right in this crazy world.
signed Caesars Garlic Wars


Great after midnight movie.

This movie is sheer genius. I think you have to be a bit "messed up" to truly understand it. Conservative, normal folk just won't get it! I hope it comes out on DVD soon.

This Movie Is Terrific!!

This movie is TERRIFIC!! That's why I rate this a 5 star movie.My friend Brian thought it was funny when Earl (John Belushi) put a picture into himself and when he threw the TV out the window.I like the song Stayin' Alive that was playing while Earl was in the bathroom.I like Dan Aykroyd & John Belushi movies.John Belushi is really 1 of my favorite actors.I just saw "The Blues Brothers" on TV last Saturday.The blues and the music made me dance.
