The Girl Next Door (2004)
The name's the same as the 1999 documentary on porn queen Stacy Valentine. Which is fitting because the girl who moves in next door to the teenage hero (Emile Hirsch), who plans someday to be President but who acts as if he wants to be Leo DiCaprio, is in truth a former "adult" film star. Elisha Cuthbert reasonably looks the part, if that's a compliment, and Timothy Olyphant warms to the role of a thoroughly degenerate producer, but the comic complications are clumpingly predictable. Directed by Luke Greenfield. 2004.
