Movie Review: 'Girl Next Door'

By Kenneth Turan
Published April 9, 2004 at 12:00 AM EDT

The new film The Girl Next Door appears to be a typical teen comedy with an adult twist: what happens when a stunning former porn star moves in next door to a lucky high school senior. Some critics find its attempt to make the world of pornography seem mainstream disturbing. Los Angeles Times film critic Kenneth Turan has a review.
