the best of its genre

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2004)

i just saw the girl next door a few days ago, and to state it short and sweet, it quite simply rules. i loved everything about the movie, from beginning to end. i think the acting was incredible, as much on the part of elisha cuthbert *who did an even better job in this movie than in 24, were she rules too*, emile hersh and all the supporting cast. the chemistry between the characters was amazing, and they really managed to convey a certain mood through out the movie that to me was one of the best aspects of the picture. as i watched the movie, i became part of the movies world, because the movie really shows what it is like to be a horny teenager in high school.
although i enjoy them, i usually don't think romantic comedies or highschool comedies are all that great. this movie is different. it goes beyond the usual limitations of this genre, it is so much more than any of the American pie movies, for example. the movie is excellent and i will see it again as soon as it comes out on DVD or airs on cable.
