Send in the actors

Rating: Null/10 (12 October 2004)

Is it me, or did the lead actor jump out of a Leonardo DiCaprio machine? And did the girl next door almost get copied perfectly to be Cameron Diaz? The plot and storyline was interesting, and the way the vocabulary was used sung true to the idea that sex education is outdated in America. This may not be about sex, but more about just being yourself, and if you like that idea, you need to watch this movie, just so you can have a good time feeling inside what others wish they could outside, unique and strong, bold.
The lead character is something to be remembered as a hero of innocence, and the girl next door is trying to gain that back by leading him into hell, at least a suburban hell. While this is a film that marks a bit above B movie level, it certainly hangs well with its choice of soundtrack items. I can't remember a movie tha tmade me stay up till 7am thinking about it, and this does it. Whatever does it for you, this does it for me. It's a boy's tale of being a hero in the last few years we still can be heroic and it seems like it matters. The years of innocence and coming of age bring forward an experience here that makes you wonder if anything corporate America has to offer can match up with The Girl Next Door.
