Neighbors

Romeo and Juliet in tenement blocks with a fountain of ideas, gags with amazing punchlines, hair-brain antics and humor that works. But this applies only up until the court hearing. Then it loses pace, situation humor and ideas, none of which return until the very end of the movie. Too bad that this isn’t divided into two episodes. Because this way, the part with the wedding spoils the atmosphere set by the petty quarrels at the beginning. (11/13/2007)

So many ideas in seemingly just seventeen minutes, and just when you think you've seen the best of it, something even better arrives. Hats off. (10/10/2014)
