Seth Rogen and Zac Efron are both actors who have had their fair share of detractors. For Rogen, it’s the fact he seemingly plays the same sort of character in every film he makes, with only tiny bits of variation, and Efron has always come under fire for the films that made him famous, the High School Musical trilogy. But last year, Efron effectively hammered the final nail into his Disney coffin with The Paperboy, which came following quite a few serious performances, and now he’s a rising star on the comedy scene. The proof? Well, you’ve got his two comedies from this year: That Awkward Moment, a fairly enjoyable romp starring Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan, and Bad Neighbours, the film that made it clear he was a comedy force to be reckoned with.
