Crude but hilarious and entertaining.

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2007)

Like others have said, this is not another teen movie! The sex jokes are crude, the situations totally deserve the R-rating, and of course, there's more gratuitous nudity than usual.
At first I refused to watch this movie because the plot sounded like the typical teen flick adventure involving a nerdy guy who fells in love with the porno actress and she falls in love with him. Well, that's what happens but the plot has many hilarious sub-situations that make you forget about the unrealistic ending.
There are many clichès specially talking about the characters, but it works for the movie's purpose.
When you think that most situations are predictable; their resolution totally takes you by surprise due to it's creativity and raunchiness.
"The Girl Next Door" is a crude and raw teen movie that might be enjoyed by those who can take more offensive language and situations. But the humor is really creative and the situations are hilarious and great to watch. The characters are likable big time.
If you are looking for the typical romantic comedy you will be disappointed big time.
Elisha Cuthbert really impressed me because she delivered a performance where she had to be sexy, tender, dramatic, and brave. She delivered more than expected plus she's very beautiful. Emile Hirsch also gives a good performance and it's a likable guy. Timothy Olyphant stole the show in my opinion. The rest of the cast is also very good and seems to be great chemistry between them.
The vibe of the movie is really comfortable and that's because of the characters and the porno sub-plot. I mean, the clothes Elisha wears and the whole porn atmosphere is just great.
I recommend this one if you are looking for crude sex comedies that take a little more time on plot development.
