Not as bad as some people make it out to be

Rating: Null/10 (14 April 2004)

Ok, I must confess. I saw The Girl Next Door this weekend. I went with the same intentions as many young men did: to see Elisha Cuthbert. I expected a shallow plot with a cheesy ending, and in truth that's what I received.
But you know, I was also pleasantly surprised. I mean sure, Elisha was gorgeous in this movie, but I also found myself laughing hysterically. And even though it was cheesy, the story was at least entertaining. Personally, I think the critics are being a little to rough on a film that wasn't ever meant to be revolutionary and 'arty.'
At least, that's my opinion.
