Surprisingly Good!

Rating: Null/10 (24 March 2004)

I do not normally comment on here but I felt compelled to having read some of the views expressed previously. I was invited to a preview screening of the film a couple of days ago and was very impressed. Im not quite sure why I liked the film so much, as I normally despise movies of this genre., and to be honest, the thought of sitting through a couple of hours of teen movie drivell really did not appeal, so considering the fact that my gaurd was well and truly up before the film began, I was surprised to find myself leaving the auditorium with a sense of satisfaction.
Throughout the film I was reminded of Ferris Beulers' Day Off and the original American Pie, the latter of which is an inferior title to The Girl Next Door, which relies largely on 'gross out' humour, rather than the wit and charm displayed here.
