    Staid suburbanite Earl Keese (John Belushi) must deal with his obnoxious new neighbors (Dan Aykroyd and Cathy Moriarty), who seem hell-bent on disrupting his peaceful life. Neighbors is a black comedy that may mildly please the fans of its stars for their performances against typ...( read more)e, but wildly misses the mark time and again as a cohesive attempt to make a "Twilight Zone" suburban sitcom.

    Twisted comedy is sometimes flat but mostly inventive and funny. Belushi defies expectation and plays the "normal" character.

    From the producers of Jaws, and the director of Rocky comes this utterly bizzare comedy that was one of the last teamings of John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. Belushi is the straightlaced man whose routine and stagnant life is thrown into turmoil when Aykroyd and his hot to trot wife...( read more) move in to the seemilgly abandonded house next door. The new neighbors are impossible to figure out as the amorous wife constantly flirts with Belushi, and Aykroyd makes himself right at home...in Belushi's house. Shotguns, quicksand, and edible panties all make their way through one bizarre night for the man who lives at the end of the road. It's not laugh out loud funny, but it's so strange you can't help but keep watching. Knowing the man's real life history, it's ironic to see Belushi playing the straight arrow, since off the set, he was more than likely contastantly coked out of his mind.

    Always liked the Belushi-Akroyd connection from The Blues Brothers so I watched this flick since they reteam but I was soooo bored with it.

    A black comedy that grows on you. There are some great moments in one of John Belushi's last movies.

    Saw this when it first came out years ago and hated it. But as my tastes have changed over the years and my appreciation of dark humor has grown, I might have to see it again.

    No thankyou - Not interested.
  • November 20, 2008
    Confusing and disappointing...
  • October 20, 2008
    What was this movie about... Not Belushi's and Aykroyd's best. The comic timing was way off.
  • September 30, 2008
    I didn't get it. It was kind of intriguing because it was so weird, but something about it was really unsettling and we had to turn it off. Oh and it wasn't funny either.
