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.

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.

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

Esforça-se para parecer 'picante', mas não tem coragem sequer de exibir o corpo de sua protagonista.

...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.

"The Girl Next Door" is an adolescent fantasy for bookish boys who must also contend with their hormones. This is their outlet. Let the boy next door dream.

Una relación amor-odio incisiva en un inicio, que inevitablemente recuerda a la vivida en la inolvidable Risky Business.

What seems to be another wishy-washy teen movie is actually a surprising little number that grabs the attention at the least expected moments.

Rich in cynicism and morally loose, it is nevertheless a fun film if you don't take it seriously.
