- In the sex scene watched through the window there is a lot of Rogen's body; the complaint is the decision, and a football jersey (a big Eagles jersey) would have helped.
- Neighbors 2 is horrible; a son insisted on watching it and gave up after 30 minutes saying it sucks.
- It is hard to recall a bigger one-to-two drop-off in so short a span, since bad sequels like Fletch Lives or Another 48 Hours came years later, despite the same people and Stoller and an easy sorority flip.
- No explanation: same writers, same director, same stars, same gimmick; sometimes a second one is not needed. — Sean Fennessey
- Run-it-back sequels of that decade rarely worked; Neighbors 2 looks like a Chloe Grace Moretz movie spliced with a Rogen-Byrne movie.
- A forecast says the movie will be canceled over fraternity hazing or the ass juice character via a long think piece; a reply doubts it has that cultural footprint.
- The ass juice think piece becomes a running joke assigned to a co-host.
- Barinholtz saying the N-word during the Obama impersonation was a no-go even in 2014 and is legitimately shocking.
- The movie gets away with a lot because it moves fast and is lean.
