A great surprise, a great movie

Rating: Null/10 (12 October 2004)

I thought this movie was amazing. I'm a guy who likes almost exclusively crime dramas, Pulp Fiction being my favorite film, and Tarantino and Kubrick being my favorite filmmakers. While my friends laugh during teen movies, I'm glad its an hour and a half and will be over soon. And I absolutely loved The Girl Next Door. The actors just completely clicked with each other. The chemistry was amazing. Emile Hirsch is good anyway, but I didn't think Elisha Cushbert could act. And Timothy Dalton certainly gave a better performance than he did in, say, Scream 2. Maybe it was just an accident, I mean, Luke Greenfield directed The Animal before this movie. But somehow, The Girl Next Door became a great movie, and I'd recommend to anyone to likes good films.
