Live
Matthew Kidman (Emile Hirsch) had lived his life by the book. He only did what he thought was the right thing to do. He never actually had fun, or did anything exciting. One day he realizes a beautiful woman, Danielle (Elisha Cuthbert), is living next door. Matt and Danielle meet after she catches him watching her undress, and they later awkwardly form a relationship. Matthew ends up falling in love with The Girl Next Door. Matt's friend, Eli (Chris Marquette), is in disbelief when he finds out that Danielle is a pornstar. He shows Matt a clip of film from one of her movies. Matt is devastated because he was head over heels for this girl, and finds out she has a dirty secret she was hiding. Eli convinces Matt to stay with Danielle, and on one morning Matt runs into Kelly (Timothy Olyphant), Danielle's manager. Kelly takes Danielle to the pornography film convention to promote her film that Kelly intends for Danielle to be in. Matt goes to the convention to remind Danielle of who she really is and tells her: 'This isn't you.'
This film tries to show people what life is all about. It promotes optimism in a way that we don't have to do something that we don't want to. Never forget who we are. On the other hand, it also shows that life is about finding love. Danielle, a pornstar, falls in love with Matt, a boring geek, and shows him how to have fun in life. In an awkward way, this film does get these two primary messages across well. This movie shows that real love is about personality and caring, rather than good looks and money.
This movie is most appealing because it is downright hilarious. It is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. The plot is very awkward, but original. At certain times in this film, I thought that I had it figured out, but there are so many scenes that changed the plot greatly. The ending surprised me. I highly doubt that anyone could not like this movie because it is that funny.
