Proof that the only bad things in the 80's were movies and Hershel Walker

Rating: 3/10 (29 December 2004)

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR The writers obviously were aiming to create a homage to 80's teen sex comedies. THEY WERE DEAD ON! Too bad 80's teen sex comedies were/are the worst genre next this side of Independent-Sci-Fi (a.k.a. Donnie Darko and This Island Earth, the only exception is Pi: Faith in Chaos).
It's so jam packed with stale characters, there is a near impossibility to advance the plot in any way. After the first 15 minutes, we know pretty much all we need to know, which is convenient, because that's all they tell us.
The only kinds of people I can see enjoying this movie are those who like Independent-Sci-Fi (a.k.a. Power tools, robots and anything else without brains or emotion). Like Independent Sci-Fi, the people who like it find nothing so they act like there's something in an attempt to feel smart.
VERDICT * out of ****
