Movie #228 - The Girl Next Door

The Girl Next Door
2004 - Rated R - 1 hr 48 min
Director: Luke Greenfield
Starring: Emile Hirsch, Nicholas Downs, Elisha Cuthbert, Timothy Olyphant, James Remar, Chris Marquette, Paul Dano


Admittedly, this is not an award-winning film.  It's not even that good.  It has some charm though, and it's kinda funny at points.  Plus, Elisha Cuthbert is far less annoying in this movie than in any given episode of 24.

So fine, upstanding young high school senior falls in love with niece of next door neighbor, who (of course) turns out to be a porn star. Of course.  He gets wrapped up in underground porn industry dispute, trouble ensues, and extreme measures are needed to sort out his problems.  It's not that original, and it is a tad bit unbelievable, but it can be mildly entertaining. 

Yeah, it's not great, but it's not terrible.  Not sure why it's on the wall... Must've been on sale.
