"Always know if the juice is worth the squeeze." On this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE NOUGHTIES (or 00s if you're into the whole brevity thing), Devon Elson gets scandalous in the realm of boner comedies. After the frathouse antics of American Pie, surprisingly a 2004 film about a teen who learns his new neigbour is in adult entertainment is the sweet coming-of-age romance The Girl Next Door. His special guest has only talked to the very stars in it, Kat Hughes! RT-Approved Critic & host of Movies with Mummy, All of Us are Lost, and Savage Garden. Bylines in THN, Second Sight, Arrow, Film Stories, & Dread Central! Together they discover the genuine emotional depth found in a comedy about pornography, debate the nuances of 2000s romance stories compared to films now and before, and answer whether the juice is worth the squeeze.
