Matthew Kidman is a very good student who has
always respected the rules. Now a senior, he has been accepted to Georgetown
University and he is in the running for a major scholarship, that he very much
needs to go on with his education. A whole lot of craziness then comes into his
life, in the form of Danielle, who moves in next door to housesit. The boy
falls for the new neighbor, only to find out that she is a former porn star.
I must admit, Emile Hirsch and Elisha
Cuthbert have a very good chemistry on screen. They work very well off each
other.
While The Girl Next Door was not the greatest
film ever made, it was still a fun romantic comedy. It contains its share of
clichés, but, on occasion, it did manage to deviate for the usual recipe and offered
some interesting twists. There was also a good dose of good funny lines. While
nothing spectacular, the acting was mostly good.
The biggest charm of this movie is that it
does not take itself seriously. It is meant to be enjoyed for what it is:
Entertaining and light.
