The Girl Next Door is a 2004 American romantic comedy film directed by Luke Greenfield. It follows a high school senior who falls in love for the first time with the girl next door, but finds the situation becoming complicated after he learns that she is a former pornographic actress. It stars Emile Hirsch, Elisha Cuthbert, Timothy Olyphant, James Remar, Chris Marquette, and Paul Dano. The film received mixed reviews and low theatrical attendance at the time,[1] but over time has gained cult film status.[1][6][7][8]
New Regency fully financed The Girl Next Door for $21 million and Fox distributed the film in most markets.
The writer-director should be best known for his underrated 2004 cult hit The Girl Next Door, starring Elisha Cuthbert
The Girl Next Door (2004) is something of a cult classic now, but it failed to make its money back in theaters.
