    Once in a very long while, a truly memorable romantic teen comedy comes along. The Girl Next Door is one.

    It's got everything the genre calls for – boppy music, cute boys, cute girls, lots of sexual lingo, and most importantly, laughs.

    Comes up short when things get serious, resorting to cliches and a whole lot of hooey about "moral fiber."

    This was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time and it really thought me to treat women with more respect. The characters were really fantastic and Elisha Cuthbert played the role so well. I highly recommend watching this film.… Expand
