Wrongly titled film which should, instead, have been called......."The Boy Next Door"

Rating: Null/10 (4 September 2005)

The "Boy Next Door" is an inspiring story of a young boy's beginning the journey into manhood........and in doing so, undertaking the quest of saving a girl from harmful forces overtaking her. That's right; it is only secondarily the story of this one lucky, lucky, girl who, through a fluke of chance, happens to find perhaps the only person who can save her from what she's becoming and doesn't want to be. Yet under it all, there is this girl who can help this boy come to be so much more.
Yes, this is really the tale of a "special" boy next door whose faith in someone (the girl next door) is so strong that it can literally save her from a life of possible ruin. And Matthew is "special" in so many ways, but mostly in his ability to hold onto that innocence (most of us lose) which enables him to continue believing in people and their goodness, even as he grows older.
You tell me: Isn't Matthew someone you would want by your side? Isn't Danielle, too?
