  5 if Elisha was naked... she is a porn star after all.
  
  This movie would be much better if we saw Elisha Cuthbert's naked; she IS a porn star after all. As it stands though, it is almost the definition of a three... read more »

  The romcom is a broad church but I never expected it to include teenagers and the porn industry. However, if as reported many teenagers learn about sex from ... read more »

  Very samey as all other teen films
  
  The film was watchable but was identical to so many other teen movies out these days where the geek gets the girl. There were some funny parts to it but nothing... read more »

  so so...
  
  Amusing film but quite dated now and not of the same quality you'd expect of the modern US teen comedy. Worth a look but not that funny.

  Not ground breaking but enjoyable. 6/10.
  
  The Girl Next Door is the latest US rom-com with less emphasise on the rom and more on the com. Coined as the next American Pie this film does not really live ... read more »

  Its OK
  
  THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS | Show review anywayHide
  
  I liked this film but its more of a teen romance thing. Its different which is good but more of a girly film I think even though its about a pornstar.

  Predictable
  
  Very predictable story line with some really funny scenes. A bit of American Beauty combined with American Pie.

  Better Than They Say
  
  This film is far better than many of the others in the genre such as American Pie and Road Trip. The humour is darker and not as obvious which I thought added ... read more »

  Amusing, Emotional and Likeable
  
  At the outset this film looks a lot like it'll be another America Pie wannabe. Instead in amongst the humour it has a pretty fair run on the emotional side... read more »
