fairtoflair7 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2004 Just saw and and i don't give a rats ass what some critics said....This was a great movie...told a great story...like Risky Business but up to date. All I have to say is WOW. Elisha Cuthbert is stunning. I recommend this movie to everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 10, 2004 NO! STAY AWAY! It's an horrible movie. Go watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind instead... This movie is SOOOO weak, horrible plot, horrible script, horrible characters, horrible pace...So many contrived and trite characters... A utter bore of a Teen Comedy. Weak. Ruined a very good premise with your basic "Dork meets hot girl, gets hot girl, loses hot girl, wins her back" plot line. If you enjoyed this movie Either you are A) 12 years Old B) Eugene's Brother I'll spoil the movie here... Eliza Cuthbert is FUCKING HOT but she doesn't do anything. Nothing here will make you go "holy shit"...The crowded crowd of Male teens and college boys that packed the theatre was QUIET the whole time...no reactions. No laughs...NOTHING. Just so horrid.

Mole 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2004 Well I usually agree with critics. EW gave it a B-, but 411 gave it a 2.5, which equals to a F. I'll got with EW over 411. However, there aren't many movies that I'll see in the cinema. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 10, 2004 I went in with a VERY OPEN MIND. I knew it wasn't going to be a GREAT movie like ESOTSM was...I came in expecting light funny humor with a little sexuality thrown in...got none of that. One scene made smirk...that was about it... The crowd sat there in BORED TEARS. Countless times I caught people looking at watches...staring at the walls... another thing that made me mad More people LEFT GND then even saw ESOFTPM the two times I saw it combined... The first time, It was ALL ME in a theatre that held 235 people...and the next time...about 3 people counting myself. it's sad that Horrible Movies like The Girl Next Door will draw enough to be considered a success and horny 15 year old guys will tell other 15 year old kids "OMG! THEY SHOWED A TIT!" and they plop down 8 bucks because of that... While brilliant work like ESOTPSM goes unnoticed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She doesn't expose anything that you haven't seen... if you are going just because of her...you are wasting your 6-10 bucks... You can get your jollies looking at a screen cap and save yourself from the other hour and half of your life wasted sitting in that theatre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest OctoberBlood Report post Posted April 10, 2004 Exactly. And plus, I don't rate this kind of movie with Lost and Translation, Apocalypse Now, or Eternal Sunshine.. it's just in a total different category. It does what it does and it is what it is - a fun, enjoyable, mondern day risky business. A teenie film but not quite the bopper. Like I said 4 or so weeks ago, much better than the overrated American Pie series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2004 This movie is SOOOO weak, horrible plot, horrible script, horrible characters, horrible pace...So many contrived and trite characters... This statement also applies to Walking Tall. I just snuck into it today and Choken's words perfectly describe Walking Tall. (I know I am going off topic) I wouldn't recommend sneaking into Walking Tall. It's that bad. Now if The Girl Next Door is as bad or worse than Walking Tall, then you already have your 2 worse movies of the year within a week of each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2004 The local paper here gave GND (zero stars) legit. At first It figured it was our usual local guy hating on anything with "toilet humor" and his hate for it alone, made me want to see it, but now after my peers are actually re-inforcing the zero stars rating, I have decided not to see it, and for Walking Tall, it never really crossed my mind in the first place to see it anyway.

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2004 "The previews don't really do it justice!" Good Lord the new commercials with the "spontaneous" comments from "sneak preview audiences" suck. So, apparently they either: couldn't find positive comments from critics the advertising department sucks some one thought hiring a bunch of actors covering various demographics and gushing out praise would be a good ad campaign those are real audience members who think that, in which case I still don't care because plenty of people loved Bad Boys II.

GND failed to even do that or give us characters we could care about... Who cares if the smart but shy guy nails the Porn Star...at least with American Pie...they were more identifable with. Yes, clearly GND is in a different catgory then Eternal Sunshine(one's shitty and the other is brilliant) but Even in the GND'S genre it was HORRIBLE.

And no Choken One, it seems like you just don't get the movie. It's not about some kid banging a porn star, it was more than that, you just didn't pay attention obviously.

Max Danger 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 Shrug. I liked it. Sure, I'm a complete Elisha mark and will watch anything involving her no matter how bad it is, but this wasn't offensive or anything. I, by the way, went in expected absolutely NOTHING because I had read a few reviews(Roger Ebert gave it 1/2*, hey, half a star better than North ), and most that I read didn't really care for it, so I set my expectations really, really low, and was pleasantly surprised. But, again, Elisha's my future wife, so take that for what you will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Danger 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 As an added note, the crowd I saw it with was probably the most responsive audience I've sat with in a long, long time. It was mostly college aged people. They were shouting at the screen(in a good way), laughing, and just having a good time. Yeah. That's all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 If you've never seen a C-cup tit before, I can understand how you might find this movie exciting. This movie was pushed back from it's original opening date and I don't understand since Hellboy will absolutely slaughter it for dollars. The ads just simply kept running, and a lot of people think the movie has been in theaters for a number of weeks when it only just premiered. To make it worse, the adverts highlight the raunchyness of it as though it's some kind of Vince Russo production, but the actual film doesn't have the guts to go that far.

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 It ranked tenth during Friday's box-office numbers. Hellboy and the Passion are duking it out for the number one position right now. Yeah, I know those "real people viewpoints" ads aren't anything new... From another MB: "I first took notice of these 'have the audience sell the flick' ads back when PORKY'S came out. I remember the critics really HATED this thing, so instead of the usual blurbs from critics, they had these little pictures of "Joe & Jane Average" (you know, Trailer Trash: REAL PEOPLE -- JUST LIKE YOU & ME!!! (well, as the marketers viewed the audience))gushing over how funny the movie was. I felt unclean just reading the ads." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get really good critic reviews but do the fan commercial where they all say how bad the film is, then say "Well, the paid actors didn't like it, but the critics did" followed by the critic statements then the name.
