Stalling about an hour in, the movie tries to squeeze way too much juice out of a single premise, ending up at least 20 minutes too long, ploddingly predictable, devoid of any humour and with countless serious lapses in logic and taste.

Despite the nudity and sexual hi-jinx, Girl Next Door is a creative delight with surprising insight and honesty that will make you laugh, make you smile and most of all, make you feel, all at the same time.

This is not entirely your average greasy teen movie, and frequently manages to be quite funny, and ambivalent, about vicious competitiveness at US high schools and sickly, sex-saturated modern life.

Stunningly bad teen sex comedy.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 28, 2010

The writing team of "National Lampoon's Van Wilder" crafted it as a satire about conflicting levels of sexual experience among teens, but fail to connect the significance of erotic pleasure to the emotional demands of budding adults.

| Original Score: D+ | May 4, 2009

The few saving graces are the gorgeous Elisha Cuthbert and the fun bad guy turn by Timothy Olyphant.

If it had been a porn film, at least it would've been made by people with some insight into the adult-film milieu, as opposed to people with insight into nothing.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 27, 2007

It is a movie full of contradictions that plays like a bad The Sure Thing melded uncomfortably together with an exploitative Risky Business.

What sets the film apart from the competition is its willingness to confront its own subject matter in an honest way.

| Original Score: B | Jun 20, 2005

Essentially Risky Business for the 21st century, and I don't mean that as a compliment.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 2, 2005

...a fun premise that’s employed to slightly uneven yet mostly satisfying effect...

Esfora-se para parecer 'picante', mas no tem coragem sequer de exibir o corpo de sua protagonista.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 24, 2004

...it wants to show us how corrupt and abasing the porn industry is, while at the same time using an abundance of sex and nudity to sell its own product.
