The Girl Next Door (2004 film)

It follows a high school senior who falls in love for the first time with the girl next door, but finds the situation becoming complicated after he learns that she is a former pornographic actress.

It stars Emile Hirsch, Elisha Cuthbert, Timothy Olyphant, James Remar, Chris Marquette, and Paul Dano.

As class president, he has raised $25,000 in order to bring a brilliant Cambodian student, Samnang, to study in the United States, but otherwise feels there is nothing exciting to remember from his high school years.

His friends Eli (aspiring filmmaker and obsessed with porn) and Klitz (timid and socially awkward) are not receptive to his suggestions that they take some risks and get crazy before they graduate.

Days later, an enraged Kelly abducts Matthew from school and physically attacks him, saying that Danielle’s failure to film has cost him $30,000.

Kelly offers to let Matthew erase his debt by stealing an award from the home of his former business partner, Hugo Posh.

"[14] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave it a B− grade and wrote: "Risky Business had a great opening act and then descended into contrivances.

"[15] Joe Leydon of Variety gave it a mixed review, criticizing it for being "recycled" comparing it to Risky Business, American Pie, and 1980s Brat Pack romances, and calling the script "shamelessly derivative".
