During the production of Neighbors, the 2014 comedy directed by Nicholas Stoller, a loose and improvisational atmosphere on set produced as much laughter behind the camera as in front of it. Zac Efron, who played the charismatic fraternity president Teddy Sanders opposite Seth Rogen's beleaguered new father Mac Radner, later recounted with evident amusement how he and his fellow cast members had made a running game of getting under Rogen's skin between takes. The playful needling mirrored the film's central premise, a generational turf war between a young couple and the rowdy fraternity next door, so the off-screen antics blurred the line between performance and genuine camaraderie. Rogen, already established as a veteran of the Judd Apatow school of improvised comedy, bore the brunt of the mischief with the good humor that had long defined his public persona. Efron's anecdote showed how the chemistry that made the film a box-office success, earning more than 270 million dollars worldwide, grew out of an ensemble willing to tease one another relentlessly. It also marked a turning point in Efron's career, as his comfort trading jabs with comedy's established names signaled his deliberate move away from his teen-idol image toward a more irreverent, self-aware screen identity.

"Did you paint that mole on yourself?" "Yes I did.. yes I did Focker.." has got to be my favorite part of the whole movie π I legitimately started wheezing with laughter every damn time π€£π€£π€£ This movie is what changed my opinion of Zac Efron and Dave Franco both β€ High School Musical came out when I was a teenager, my younger brothers were obsessed with it so I was stuck watching it all the time and HATED it and then I only knew Dave Franco from being the annoying little shit in 21 Jump Street. This movie changed my mind about them both and now I'll watch anything either of them are in lol
Franco's de Niro is top notch ππ still laughing as i type. "You're upsetting jinxy cat"

That's not Zac Efron. That is David Hasselhoff's son.
