A couple with a newborn baby face unexpected difficulties after they are forced to live next to a fraternity house.

A raunchy but good-natured comedy that lands more often than it misses, though critics were more enthusiastic about the cast than the material itself. Zac Efron earned particular notice for shaking his clean-cut image, and Rose Byrne's role as an equal co-conspirator rather than a sidelined wife struck many critics as a genuinely smart choice. The result is broadly likable without being especially memorable.
