From the Writers of "Van Wilder" & the Director of "the Animal" comes a movie that surprisingly didn't suck TOTAL ass

Rating: 5/10 (17 October 2005)

Matthew (Emile Hirsch) is a nerdy nobody who can't think of anything he'll fondly remember from high school after he graduates. That is until former porn star, Danielle ("24"'s Elisha Cuthbert) shows up as the new girl next door.Things get complicated (as these films are prone to do) when her former porn manager comes calling to get her back. This adolescent male fantasy suffers from way too much music on the soundtrack (nearly every scene of the film is scored with a late '80's or early '90's tune with the purpose to substitute for any true emotional feeling), a insincere undeserved sentimentality that permeates through the film, and a surprising lack of laughs. While the acting is fair enough and the film is watchable, it still lacks any memorability and will be forgotten after a while. Still, it remains a step up for the Director and writers, if a step down for much of the cast.
My Grade: C-
