24/01/07 : Neighbours

I have been unable to include the usual internet review, or images for this film as i struggled to find anything about it on the internet. Indeed – before its screening at SYNW I had never even heard of it.

To compensate - I have included the above link which takes you a trailer on you tube ! Check it out.

This is a 1981 film featuring Dan Akroyd and John Belushi (made 1 year after the blues brothers ). I was struck that despite the fact that this film is over 25 years old, its still a great deal funnier than many of the comedy 'family' films that are around today. Dan Ackroyd as the ‘neighbour from hell’ is excellent and we had a good laugh watching this film.

Its not an AMAZING film – but we didn’t really expect it to be so in terms of scaling this against some of the others its only receiving a 7/10. Still worth checking out ! A good Sunday on the sofa after a late Saturday night type of thing !
