Dave Franco set tongues wagging when it was revealed that his "Neighbors" character, Pete Regazolli, would be openly gay in the hotly-anticipated sequel to the smash film.

Turns out, that's not the only surprise in store for gay audiences in "Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising ." In this scene from the film, Pete is left speechless when his boyfriend (played by John Early ) pops the question.

As Teddy, co-star Zac Efron gets in on the fun, too, crooning an earnest version of the Jason Mraz ballad, "I'm Yours," with his frat brothers.

The scene got a very enthusiastic thumbs up from Slate's Jeffrey Bloom , who called it "beautifully engineered to catch audiences off guard and then disarm them with genuine sweetness and giddy emotion."

"The sequence feels like a stinging rebuke to years of skittish comedies about male bonds, up to and including the original 'Neighbors'an unforced triumph in a movie that could have been much safer," he wrote.

We couldn't have said it better ourselves!
