All week I’ve said it and I’ll say it again: Nicholas Stoller’s Neighbors is an extremely funny movie filled with laugh out loud sequences. You should definitely see it this weekend in a crowded theater. If you haven’t seen the trailers or read our previous coverage, the film stars Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne as a married couple with a newborn baby who must deal with a fraternity—fronted by Zac Efron—when it moves in next door. Neighbors also stars Dave Franco, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jake Johnson, Ike Barinholtz, Carla Gallo, Jerrod Carmichael, and Lisa Kudrow.
At the New York City press day, I landed an exclusive video interview with Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Jarrod Carmichael. They talked about how much of their improvisation is done in the moment and how much is thought about in advance, how it's great to do press when the movie is really good, a crazy deleted scene that featured Nick Offerman playing Mintz-Plasse's dad, other deleted sex scenes, future projects, and more. Hit the jump to watch.
