The Girl Next Door
Director: Luke Greenfield
Year: 2004
Stars: Emile Hirsche, Elisha Cuthbert, Timothy Olyphant, Chris Marquette, Paul Dano
Well, this was odd. I still don't really know what to make of it - although I think I enjoyed it.
Something of a high-school satire movie, The Girl Next Door is all about Matthew Kidman (Hirsche), a high school student who falls in love with the girl next door - who also happens to be an ex-porn star.
Half your standard high-school rom-com, half a black comedy, the fact that this movie doesn't quite know what it wants to be (or perhaps knows that it doesn't want to be any one specific thing) makes it all the more likeable. I think.
I'm still confused.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
