The Girl Next Door [2004] (DVD) ... released 09 August, 2004 at 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: PAL, Widescreen / You've got to admit that any movie about a teenager whose new next-door neighbor is a 19-year-old former porn star has bona fide cult-movie potential. To its credit, this rather schizoid blend of sleaze and comedy boasts an engaging pair of costars in Emile Hirsch (as the smitten, voyeuristic virgin) and 24's Elisha Cuthbert (as his sexy new house-sitting neighbor). And there are some good laughs in a script that takes unexpected turns when we learn that Cuthbert's character is trying to leave her porn-star past behind, to the chagrin of her pimp-like producer (Timothy Olyphant, in a scene-stealing role). Faring somewhat better than he did with the Rob Schneider non-comedy The Animal, director Luke Greenfield clearly recalls the turbulence that goes hand-in-hand with being young, horny, and confused. There's honesty and even (dare we say it?) maturity to be found in this raging-hormone fantasy, even if it's partially buried in a convoluted plot that's appalling or appealing, depending on your tolerance for good-natured prurience. --Jeff Shannon

The film's protagonist is Matthew Kidman (Emile Hirsch), an honours student who is hoping to go to University but needs a scholarship to do so. He meets Danielle (Cuthbert), his next door neighbour who, it turns out, is a former porn star, and when he confronts her about it, things get sour, causing her to return to the industry. He must try and get her back, while also figuring ...more

*** This review is for the movie only *** Before I start; I feel that I must explain myself. 'The Girl Next Door' is one of my favourite movies, however it's a movie that is heavily overlooked. I've had this DVD since the day it was originally released, I saw it in the cinema with one of my closest friends and we both loved it so much I had to buy it as soon as it was available. This is a film that I keep coming back to as if it were a security blanket and I were a toddler, although I have many "comfort" films like this, this particular one doesn't get watched as often as it should. I should also explain that most of my ...  Read the complete review
