Girl Next Door

Pros: A balanced look at an interesting individual that is surprisingly funny

Cons: Graphic operating room scenes are not for the squeamish

Review: It's not everyday that you get to meet and converse with a porn star, but last Saturday night that opportunity presented itself. Christine Fugate's documentary about award-winning adult video actress Stacy (Baker)Valentine, "The Girl Next Door," was...

Pros: A few funny moments and situations.

Cons: I find mixing teens and porn, even tastefully, a little over the top.

The Bottom Line: A mildly funny comedy about a teenage (over eighteen I suppose) porn star trying to quit the business and her shy enamored teenage neighbor.

Review: That girl is gorgeous and just look at that bod, Matthew thinks as he walks into a garbage can out side his house.

Later, while Matthew is upstairs in his bedroom when he sees her, in the house next door, through his window and she's...

Pros: An easy watch,great cast performances,funny

Cons: Not everyone's cup of tea as it is mainly aimed at teens.

The Bottom Line: This is a great film that is easy to watch and isreally funny.

Pros: Elisha, Elisha, Elisha!

Cons: Horny people would not be able to relate

Review: The Girl Next Door is a serious movie about love that eventually turned into sex. It is not really a comedy for me because there is nothing funny about it. It is a story of a guy named Matt Kidman (Emile Hirsch), who is an outstanding student and is...

Pros: well directed documentary

Cons: graphic!!!

Review: Are you the "Girl Next Door" and aspire to be a porn star? This film is one you can relate to. If you aren't, this is a documentary unlike any other and definitely worth seeing. The film directed by Christine Fugate (director of Natural Causes, a...

Pros: The film is sensitive, nonjudgemental, and very real

Cons: The film ended too soon

Review:
Pornography is big business: while Amazon.com continues to hemorrhage red ink after four years, the average internet porn site is profitable within six months, and the industry as a whole raked in over a billion dollars last year alone. No...

Pros: Intensely Human; Shows Multiple Perspectives; Touching and Funny

Cons: A Lot of Nudity and Sexuality (NOT for kids!)

Review: As a documentary about a porn star, ?The Girl Next Door? has a lot to overcome. It could just be a funny movie, amusing us with the very fact that it?s about pornography. But this film has designs on being something better. It is ostensibly the...

Pros: Honest, entertaining and enthralling.

Cons: Nothing (unless you can't stand the site of surgery up close and personal).

Review: Not one viewer during a screening of Christine Fugate's entertaining and eye-opening documentary, "The Girl Next Door", wasn't squirming in their seats while doctors performed surgery to reduce breast implants, and then later, perform liposuction on...

Pros: Honest film

Cons: Surgery scenes are tough to watch

Review: I saw this movie to compare it with "Sex: The Annabel Chong Story." The Annabel Chong documentary, which i have reviewed, basically showed a clueless college student who seemingly made a mistake getting into the porn business. Chong comes across a...
