DVD Synopsis

Boy meets girl who's already met all sorts of boys and girls in this teen-slanted comedy. Matthew Kidman (Emile Hirsch) is a straight-laced and highly ambitious high school student who plans to study at Georgetown University and dreams of a career in politics. While most of his classmates are in the throes of an epidemic of senioritis, Matthew is obsessed with schoolwork and has a hard time relaxing and having fun. But he finds himself a bit less focused on his future career when Danielle (Elisha Cuthbert), a beautiful 19-year-old blonde, moves in next door. Danielle is playful, spontaneous, and doesn't always remember to draw her shades, and before long Matthew is head over heels in love. Danielle soon finds herself taken with Matthew as well, but their relationship takes an unusual turn when he discovers that, before she moved to town, Danielle had a successful career as a porn actress. Matthew is able to convince Danielle that she's cut out for better things in life than appearing in porn videos, but his advice doesn't especially please Kelly (Timothy Olyphant) or Hugo (James Remar), two porn moguls who figure Matthew owes them big-time after convincing their leading lady to drop out of the adult industry. The Girl Next Door -- which, appropriately enough, shares its title with a 1999 documentary about adult film superstar Stacy Valentine -- also features Timothy Bottoms, Paul Dano, and Chris Marquette. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

The Girl Next Door stars Emile Hirsch (The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys) as a high-school guy who finds his world turned upside down when he discovers the beautiful new girl living next door is an adult-film star. Before long, he and his friends are in the middle of a coming-of-age experience like no other. One of two DVD releases for the film, this disc includes the original R-rated version of the film shown in theaters, but is packed with racy unrated bonuses. Both widescreen and full-screen transfers are available on the disc along with a Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. English or Spanish subtitles and Spanish- and French-dubbed audio tracks are also included. Along with the film itself, there is a feature-length audio commentary track by director Luke Greenfield, a behind-the-scenes featurette, and a trivia track. The unrated features include a gaggle of deleted and extended scenes, a blooper reel, two more featurettes, and a sexy image gallery. An R-rated version of the disc was released simultaneously without the unrated supplemental material. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

A reworking of Tom Cruise's "Risky Business". A girl in the sex industry moves next door, the teen hero becomes friendly with her, almost blows it when he discovers her background and makes a bumbling move on her, then it gets complicated when her manager in snakeskin shows up. As in "Risky Business," a plausible but extremely unlikely solution results in a happy ending. Cuthbert is gorgeous, there's plenty of skin, and it's mildly amusing.

Had no idea what to expect with this movie...dumb teen date movie, right? Wrong! Very sly, very very funny, and well-acted, it's a wild ride to who-knows-where. GND deals primarily with Matthew's tough choices between looking good to conformist adults and doing the right thing for his conscience. Of course, the x-factor is Danielle--the former porn actress next door is a hell of a curveball for the straight-A virgin. The film refuses to judge and deals very obliquely with the realities of the porn industry and its degradation of women (and men). Matthew is determined to help Danielle start over, but her past has followed her into his sheltered world.
