It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

This is one of the best movie a teenager should watch. This is just not about sex. It's about how much your career, friends and falling in love means to a teenager and what all the things you can do for them. This movie is more about being strong.

This one is so much like your normal chic lit romcom type in the beginning but picks up as we approach the half way mark. Emile Hirsch could get an 'A' for his acting. He also has a couple of friends and the three of them insist on calling themselves as 'tripod' and rightly so, as this film is held up partly because of the 'one-for-all, all-for-one' sort of friendship they exhibit. This film also tacitly touches upon the concept of true love and standing up for it when it's called for. Elisha Cuthbert exhibits a different level of grace altogether in this movie and was the sole motivator for me to watch this movie in the first place. And last but not least, this movie gives guys the message to fight for their girl when it's due and also gives them hope that anything can be achieved when she's by their side.

Just go for it.Do not bother about the ratings.Its just awesome.It the kind of a movie in which you'll forget you problems and enjoy yourself. You might think this is one of this prom note get laid movie but its not .Its more than that.Don't even compare it to American Pie Van Wilder or She's Out of my League.Its way above the bar. This movie is worth hell lot of your time. Elisha Cuthbert has given an OK performance but she does sure look like an angel.The purity and innocence. Emile Hirsch, Elisha Cuthbert and Timothy Olyphant shine in their respective roles as the young man at a crossroads in his life, the girl next door of the title.Matty helping her to find her true self was amazing.Its a go go!!

A teenager falls in love with the girl next door and then realises she a porn star,and they some how take this inventive premise and make one the most boring films ever made. To be fair it starts getting funny suddenly in the last half hour,before that its boring as hell . After an hour of a uncharismatic ,lantern jawed teenager mooning over a girl and endlessly boring people over his college scholarship interview,it suddenly morphs into a hilariously bad taste comedy for the last stretch. Problem is of course you have to put up with the rest of this film with no jokes .At least when dusk till dawn went from violent escape caper to horror movie both halves of the film were entertaining but this is just weird.
