Bad Neighbours producers and audiences









Won the award for best TV spot and for best comedy poster, was also nominated for best comedy.
This film was produced by Brian Bell, Andrew J. Cohen, Joseph Drake, Meryl Emmerton, Evan Goldberg, Nathan Kahane, Brendan O'Brien, Seth Rogan, James Weaver.
The poster for this film shows clearly by the stars and how they are positioned who the audience will be, Seth Rogan is known for his comedy films so most men would want to watch his latest film as he is very rarely a disappointment. Seeing Seth next to Rose Byrne with a baby and how they are stood indictes maybe a serious relationship between them and this attracts people who like to watch films with romance, such as young women. Having Rose Byrne in this film creates sex appeal for the younger men so this could encourage them to come along and wach this film, the same is done by having Zac Efron and Dave Franco as this attracts young women. Zac Efron holding a beer in his hand on the poster indicates that this film will have a lot of drinking and partying and the frat shirt that he is wearing confirms it. Seth and Zac are both seen as leaders for both sides of this war that is going on between the two houses, the poster shows this well by how they are stood like they're ready for a fight. The baby secures a sense of comfort to the viewer as it is cute and innocent, the serious war like faces on everyone else makes in seem more serious but the baby is laughing which gives the viewer the feeling that they will be watching them from the baby's point of view as they will be laughing too.
 
This film was rated 7.1/10 on IMDb, directed by Nicholas Stoller, distributed by Universal pictures and released on 09/05/14 comedy film aimed for 15-24 year old males as an audience profile. The budget for this film was about £18,000,000 but it achieved $49,033,915 on opening weekend.This 97 minute long film is rated as a 15, this is because of the exesive drinking, drugs being used, sexual scenes, slight violence, bad language and nudity. The title font has the word 'bad' in bold letters and this is a hint on the word people should be looking out for as this as the charcters do very extreme things to each other. The whole poster shows romance, sex appeal, partying, humour, adorabilityand rivalry all squeezed into one picture. "The battle for the street begins" quote with the two main characters standing to attension is basically a parody of the classic war film posters, they even have the font colours as black and green which are two of the main milertry colours so this is another hint towards it. They are basically saying that it will be like war between the two houses with only one winner.
