The Marketing of the Movie

Rating: 4/10 (6 April 2004)

Having already complained how the Producers of the film have marketed The Girl Next Door...being a "movie for a new generation," I'd like to complain about their recent television advertisement. The movie is marketing "real" teenagers being interviewed at the movies, that are calling their friends on their cell phones to let them know about the movie. This is amazing! I mean, the advertisement wouldn't lie to us and hire LA based actors to portray "real" teenagers...would they? And wow! The television advertisements for the Passion of the Christ didn't have people calling their friends and family members. And that movie is the most talked about and successful film this decade. The Girl Next Door must be a better movie and something worth talking about......give me a break. The Studios who made The Girl Next Door produced a pop cultured piece of junk...marketing it that way and not the "second coming." Thank you
