The Girl Next Door has an interesting idea for a plot, but as so often with these kind of movies it stumbles on the delivery. I enjoy Elisha Cuthbert almost as much as the next guy, but much like Beth Cooper, I Love You, She's Out of My League and another thirteen a dozen other movies having a hot girl as the focus of the plot, it needs more to stand out.
Obviously having the female lead being a porn star gives some room to create good story-lines for a fun movie, but the choices taken here just manage to drag it down to mediocrity. I did like Timothy Olyphant in his supporting role. Also Elisha did well as the next door porn babe, but I never quite believed in Emile Hirsch's character. Potential and some cheap laughs, but this movie never delivers as it could have.
