For me, its going into the teen movie hall of fame.

Rating: 7/10 (19 September 2008)

The Girl Next Door, comes off as a little bit generic. For one, the story has pretty much been done before(i.e. Risky Business), Its the boy meet girl scenario which has been done a million times over from a million different angles and it its sprinkled a-plenty with tons of cheesy moments. But its the moments outside the cheesy ones that count in this film. The acting is excellent with some amazing characters making it the perfect combo in that category. The three main actors in the film,(Timothy Olyphant,Emile Hirsch,Elisha Cuthbert) are the some of the most engaging characters that I've seen in a comedy in awhile. Which admittedly isn't saying much but either way, the characters are good. Really, there's many other films out there that are much better than this, but its still worth a watch if there's not much else you can watch.
