Zac Efron was once an actor seemingly stuck in the publics image as, that kid from High School Musical. Though as years progressed, Zac Efron set out to prove he was capable of so much more than playing a teenage heartthrob. Starring in the comedy Neighbors alongside Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, and Dave Franco was that start of a major shift in the roles Zac Efron would be offered. Proving to the movie going public that he was a real talent, and was not about to be typecasted the rest of his life.

@nerdstalgic can you please make a Joe dirt episode?! It’s such an amazing classic and SO many people love it and it’s easily David spades best movie. I promise you it will get the views and if it doesn’t I solemnly swear here and now I will watch the video 10000000 times just to keep ur stats up just pleaseeeee do a joe dirt episode I’m begging!

@benwasserman8223 Год назад

It’s the same logic as Channing Tatum in Jump Street. The hunky heartthrob reveals a knack for himbo comedy and theaters roll with it

@chasehedges6775 Год назад

Channing Tatum and Zac Efron should star in a movje together

@andrewjackson-dewey Год назад

There’s already a video like that, we see it coming up next smart guy

@nairrdlairrd Год назад

I’ve always found Zac Efron to be an extremely under appreciated talent, especially for someone who got their big break on Disney Channel. He’s actually a really strong emotional actor, and I love him in everything I see him in.

@ther3aper561 Год назад

Yes big same. I really liked him in Neighbors, Baywatch and as Ted Bundy

@poppinc8145 Год назад

It's a shame he changed his whole jaw to be more square. He went from looking excellent to now looking cartoonish.

@haveasmiletoday2814 Год назад

@poppinc8145 he didn't do it intentionally. From what I've heard his jaw got smashed in his house :/ there is an interview about it

@WilmoTheBear 11 месяцев назад

He really isn't a strong emotional actor, i'd love to be proven otherwise but he seems more or less the same guy on everything he is in.

@_The_Archive_ Год назад

Fun Fact: The final scene between Mac and Teddy outside of the Abercrombie and Fitch store was completely improvised. Zac Efron had no idea that Seth Rogen would take off his shirt.

@josiefischer9359 Год назад

So glad to see neighbors get the recognition it deserves. Definitely one of the better 2010s comedies 💪

@travistotle Год назад

Definitely one of the LAST comedies, when you think about it too. What was the last really notable comedy that's come out and made an impact since that movie? The sequel? The king of Staten Island (even though that one seems more like a borderline drama)? I can't even believe it, but it feels like somehow it's a dying genre.

@ther3aper561 Год назад

@@travistotlethe only big one I can think of is Blockers with John Cena and it was mostly a flop but had a lot of people praising how funny and surprisingly emotional it was. Same with Game Night

@Mr.Meme01 11 месяцев назад

So true, I can't remember seeing a funnier film than neighbors in theaters since then (This is the End was funny a hell at the time also), I think Zac and Franco totally killed it in this one, the roles were perfect for them.

Awesome career? What career?

@connie4334 Год назад

He seems like a pretty down to earth guy. Surprising considering how much fame he had to deal with

@cjjones1820 Год назад

His best role is in Greatest Beer Run Ever. The result of being a wholesome well intentioned person who doesn't understand the gravity of the situation and the mindset of the people in that situation. Wanting to do something good for others but lacking the experience to empathize at a level that will reveal what those others really need. The depth of the characters creates an environment with room for more complex humor and it really worked for me. Check it out if you haven't seen it

@trinaq Год назад

I like that the role of Teddy, an immature Frat Bro, allowed Zac Efron to break out of the twee family friendly mould that High School Musical had given him. He showed that he could play a different type of character than Troy Bolton, and that he was a versatile actor.

@chasehedges6775 Год назад

He’s really good

@salt-emoji Год назад

Agreed, but also I feel like it was about changing the idea of "troy Bolton" with the aging audience.

@ExperienceBasement Год назад

If Extremely Wicked, Shocking Evil and Vile was a better film as a whole, Efron would’ve been a huge Oscar contender.

@ThatFanBoyGuy Год назад

To reiterate what you said, I think it worked because it was a soft turn, not a hard turn, for Zac Efron. While he's playing a darker role in Neighbors, the movie overall is still a comedy. While Teddy is a dark character, since it's a comedy film, it's a funny dark character. If Zac played a dark villain in a drama from the start, the transition would not have gone so well.

@BaldBogey Год назад

They changed the name to Bad Neighbours for Australia, New Zealand and the UK to avoid confusion with the very popular Australian TV soap 'Neighbours'.

His performance in Dirty Grandpa surprised me, ended up enjoying that movie a lot haha.

@saratdas1988 Год назад

Analyse the parody "Not Another Teen Movie". I had seen it in college and though I found it funny, I didn't get many undertones. Now 15 years later, after having seen many movies and having been through phases of life, I understand the presence of subtle and blatant dirty humour while also lampooning the concept of teen movies. Plus it has a few people who would go on to become more renowned - Chris Evans, Josh Radnor. Has cameos by past stars Mr.T , Molly Ringwald and contemporary ones like Melissa Joan Hart and Jaime Pressly... etc. But of course, a lot of the material is also offensive which will not fly today.

@Daniel-boy737 11 месяцев назад

Idk I actually liked The Good Son, I think McCauley did a great job at being an unsettling psychopathic kid. Elijah Wood also was great, don’t see many movies where two child actors display those kinds of emotions without it coming across as corny. Maybe I’m biased because I grew up in a very similar situation to the younger sister in the movie.

@diablejambe3460 Год назад

Dont remember if it was neighbors 1 or 2, but the line about boiling water making eggs melt and pasta soft killed me. Obviously it was a great line but his delivery was on point. It was a matter of fact delivery that wasnt super "in ur face" matter of fact, just said it kinda calmly and yeah, great line. Always the first thing i think of when the films r mentioned or when i think of zac effron being funny lol.

I am a big fan of Zac Efron I love it when he played the part in neighbours high School musical and also in the movie Baywatch but I can never see him being the type of being Bundy it doesn't really actually but everybody else got a different opinion well anyways I think that he should try other two different parts like military comedy or playing a part of being a single father

@matthewheuel2508 9 месяцев назад

I personally never saw him as a Disney guy maybe cuz I became a fan of him around Charlie st could. But with the 4 indie films he did from 08-13 I knew he could act and neighbors and it’s sequel really enhanced Zac Efron ‘s Markability also post 2014 films even the comedy’s have been extremely good imo. From Mike and Dave to extremely wicked. But what really boosted him was beer run and now iron claw. Who knows maybe he’ll get a Golden Globe or Oscar nomination in ‘24 for it. Or get one step closer before he’s 40. He’s kind of like a mix between James Franco and Matthew McConaughey, acting wise with the looks of Brad Pitt.
