Profile of The Girl Next Door

The mood of The Girl Next Door is sexy, humorous, and sexual. The plot centers around falling in love, lifestyle, and youth. It is a comedy and romance movie. In approach, The Girl Next Door is realistic. The setting is the USA. It happens in contemporary times. The Girl Next Door is especially suggested for a date night and teens. Note that it includes drugs/alcohol, sexual content, and profanity.

Summary of The Girl Next Door

In the tradition of RISKY BUSINESS and AMERICAN PIE comes THE GIRL NEXT DOOR, a sex-soaked teen comedy that actually has a heart. High school graduation is nearing for senior class president Matt Kidman (Emile Hirsch), who has been more concerned with getting into college than partying. But all that changes one night when the gorgeous Danielle (Elisha Cuthbert) arrives next door. Engaging, funny, and wild, Danielle is Matt's dream girl come to life, and it appears that she likes him back. But before the two can consummate their relationship, his porn-obsessed friend Eli (Chris Marquette) reveals a shocking secret: Danielle's a porn star! When her wacky producer, Kelly (Timothy Olyphant), shows up to take her back to "work," Matt's life really begins to spiral out of control. All the while, he must continue to rehearse an incredibly important speech that will hopefully earn him a major scholarship. But, most importantly, Matt must win the heart of Danielle once and for all.

Directed with irreverent yet good-natured sincerity by Luke Greenfield, with an all-star soundtrack (Marvin Gaye, Elliott Smith), THE GIRL NEXT DOOR has a breezy charm that might surprise some viewers. This is due in large part to Hirsch and Cuthbert, who deliver assured and engaging performances that help to sweeten the profane proceedings.

Critics Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle
An exceptionally well-written script, full of unexpected turns and clever reversals, and a trio of deft actors in the principal roles.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
The mainstream prominence of pornography gets a shove forward with the teen comedy, The Girl Next Door, an improbably-not-terrible teen sex comedy.

Users Reviews

I like it quite a bit even when I expected not to. Sure, it's your geek meets goddess and they hit it off movie (the most unlikely thing ever) but it's fun to watch it play out. It's not unlike Risky Business in the growing up aspects of the main...
