Lighten UP - Be Entertained!

Rating: Null/10 (13 September 2004)

You know, not every movie has to be The Godfather or Citizen Kane or Casablanca.
Sure, those movies are amazing and I love them. But movies are made for entertainment, are they not? Every movie can't be these huge, dramatic, epic movies. Then you'd just be complaining about how much movies are the same these days.
You can't put The Girl Next Door in that type of perspective. You can't compare it to The Godfather.
I was thoroughly entertained by The Girl Next Door. It was funny, the soundtrack was amazing, Elisha Cuthbert is not only GORGEOUS, but she is a great actress (24), and it was just an all around feel good movie. So what if it would probably never happen! We go to the movies to escape our own lives, not to watch people play them out on a big screen for everyone to see!
What I'm saying is, you people who only limit yourself to the AFI top 100 list are missing out on entertainment. Why don't you just forget the film-making aspect of it. The director didn't make the movie for you to marvel at it's technique and craft. He made it to entertain you and to make you laugh.
So just enjoy yourself for God's sake!
ps. i think the director could really turn out to be a good director. he knows what he's doing behind the camera.
