Last Saturday, I visited my mom ‘cause she had a mild stroke (nasobrahan daw sa stress, ‘di ko naman cguro kasalanan XD). What kind of ungrateful son would I be not to visit my sick mom right? So I cancelled my other plans and dropped in on my mom. When I got there, she was feeling a lot better thankfully, but she still needed to rest. That being the case, she was mostly asleep the whole time I was there. So, I had to find a way to entertain myself for a couple of hours. Solution? Watch a pirated DVD (my mom built up quite a selection since the last time I visited).
The movie I chose was “The Girl Next Door”. Its pretty old, it came out in 2004. I know ‘cause I saw ads for it in the internet (Yahoo movies etc.) around that time. The movie poster got me curious (a picture of some hot chick with an extreme “come hither” look does that to me). The funny thing was, it never came out in the Philippines. After watching the movie, I can understand why.
The story is about a high school senior who lives a boring life (you know, no girlfriend, no social life, the works), until he meets, Danielle (played by Elisha Culthbert) the super hot babe who just moved in next door and for some reason totally digs him. They fall in love, fast (happens in the first 30 min. of the movie, unlike the typical loser-gets-hot-momma-movie where they fall for each other 10 minutes before the ending credits). Then, he finds out that Danielle is actually a PORNSTAR (his friend shows him one of her movies). Our hero then goes through the paces of saving this girl from her profession in some extraordinary circumstances (one involving WWE wrestler Matt Morgan) until they live happily ever after. The end.
Suffice to say, the movie was filled with loads of sexual content (more than any American Pie themed movie I’ve seen anyway). As it goes with these kinds of movies, the story wasn’t so great. But obviously the story isn’t this movie’s selling point. Basically it’s a movie for guys (even though it’s a love story). It paints a picture perfect world where the average joe can get the girl of his dreams, make a name for himself, and become filthy stinking rich in a span of a single school year. Bottom line, its every high school senior’s dream (every guy’s dream for that matter). This movie is a love story that guys can watch without making them feel queasy.
All in all, it was a fun movie. It gave some pretty good laughs and it helped me pass the time
I just think there’s one flaw. No porn star is as hot as Elisha Culthbert man! If you’ve ever watched American porn, you’ll know where I’m coming from.
One thing though, why does my mom have a DVD of this movie? Hmmm…

onga, wierd twist. dami png plot holes... pero na tripan ko parin ung movie.
didn't get to watch that (but so the blurb before on a friend's copy) so instead, i'm suggesting that you watch "whipped" instead. its another sex comedy flick that's all.
uh... okay.
