Neighbors (1981)

It's So Sad That This Was Belushi's Last Film.

[2/10 · 16 July 2003]

So-called comedy about a feelgood businessman who tries to keep his sanity when he discovers his new neighbors are one-dimensional. John Belushi was a talented comic actor, and he was hilarious on SNL and in the film ANIMAL HOUSE. Sadly, he was never able to repeat those successes, and he died too soon. This film, in particular, proves it. There is no real chemistry between Belushi and Dan Aykroyd here and the jokes are never there. Belushi's death was a tragedy, but this film was an even bigger one.
