#The girl next door movie movie
The movie produces a basically nice guy, named Hugo Posh ( James Remar), also a porn king, who is Kelly's rival. To act in porn as a teenager is not a decision freely taken by most teenage girls, and not a life to envy. That he is now her "producer" under an "exclusive contract" is an elevated form of pimping. When a guy his age (36, according to ) "used to be the boyfriend" of a girl her age (19, according to the plot description) and she is already at 19 a famous porn star, there is a good chance the creep corrupted her at an early age think Traci Lords. This character, named Kelly, is played by Timothy Olyphant with a skill that would have distinguished a better movie, but it doesn't work here, because the movie never levels with us. Problem is, her producer is angry because he wants her to keep working. Matthew goes through the standard formula: first he's angry with her, then she gets through his defenses, then he believes she really loves him and that she wants to leave the life she's been leading. The movie seems to think, along with Matthew's friends, that this information is in her favor. They have a romance going before one of Matthew's buddies identifies her, correctly, as a porn star. The movie alternates between these personalities at its convenience, making her quite the most unpleasant character I have seen in some time. Try it sometime.)ĭanielle ( Elisha Cuthbert) has two personalities: In one, she's a sweet, misunderstood kid who has never been loved, and in the other she's a twisted emotional sadist who amuses herself by toying with the feelings of the naive Matthew. (It is not easy to reach out of a car and scoop up underpants from the pavement while continuing to drive.
Then she scoops up his underpants and drives away, leaving him to walk home naked, ho, ho. She says now it's her turn to see him naked, and makes him strip and stand in the middle of the road while she shines the headlights on him. Soon they're in her car together and Danielle is coming on to Matthew: "Did you like what you saw?" He did. Has she come to complain? No, she says nothing about the incident and introduces herself as Danielle to Matthew's parents: Her aunt is on vacation, and she is house-sitting.
