Review of The Boy Next Door

When I saw the trailer I had a feeling I would watch it despite it looking horrible. It showed it's cheesiness with the lame cookies line. The premise reminds me of The Guest meets Fatal Attraction/Fear although not nearly as interesting as the aforementioned. It even feels a bit like Kelly & Cal. I think the only real reason I am watching this is because Jennifer Lopez is still a hottie. Ah It's a Rob Cohen movie. His are usually either hits or misses most of which are misses. Seriously it starts off with some atrocious acting. That is not a good sign at all. Seeing Ryan Guzman play a vindictive little prick rather than the romantic dancing lead of the recent Step Up movies just feels awkward. The jokes and double entendres are plain ridiculous. The acting is mostly subpar with very few exceptional scenes. This was pretty horrible. I was so disinterested from beginning to end. The epi-pen scene near the end was hilarious to me.

The few good things about this were:
-Jennifer Lopez sex scene of course
-Kristin Chenoweth whom I have a crush on
-The Hilarious Epi-Pen scene mentioned above
-It was short

The bad stuff about this:
-The acting was horrible
-It was completely cliche with nothing that hasn't been done
-Ryan Guzman doesn't dance lol
-Random evil acts for no real reason
-The lamest double entendres
-Just feels way too much like a Lifetime Film with soft core eroticism thrown in as the only means of attention grabbing
-There are only two sex scenes one of which is just completely unnecessary (I mean come on that is pretty much the only reason anyone was planning to see this one)

I say skip this one and if you really want to see it just wait for Mr. Skin to post the scene on their website and you've scene the only part truly worth anything.
