Storyline

When a handsome, charming teenager named Noah (Ryan Guzman) moves in next door, newly separated high-school teacher Claire Peterson (Jennifer Lopez) encourages his friendship and engages in a little bit of harmless (or so she thinks) flirtation. Although Noah spends much of the time hanging out with Claire's son, the teen's attraction to her is palpable. One night, Claire gives in to temptation and lets Noah seduce her, but when she tries to end the relationship, he turns violent.

Trivia

Noah brings Claire a copy of The Iliad, which she notes is a "First Edition." Being a story passed down through oral tradition, and not committed to print until it was 1,000 years old, it would not have had a First Edition. Being in the public domain, it could be (and is) published by numerous companies. Being classical literature, however, as opposed to modern, it is doubtful the company would have made much note of it being their own first edition of the text. See more »

Goofs

Very near the end Claire, an English Lit teacher, wouldn't have said, "Me and Kevin are right here, Sweetie!" Of course she'd know it would be "Kevin and I"... See more »

Quotes

Claire Peterson: [after kicking Noah in the groin after he attempted to rape her] You think you can scare me with some graffiti on the wall? Think again! It's gonna be your word against mine, and who do you think they're gonna believe? Stay away from me... and stay away from my son!

23 January 2015 | by (Athens) – See all my reviews

It's funny though, the movie "The Girl Next Door" is about a beautiful and innocent closet porn star that maybe wants to get out of the business. *This is who men dream they are living next to.*

And "The Boy Next Door" is about a handsome young boy that is obsessed with this lady and goes nuts when she cuts him off because he wants her so bad. *This is who women dream they are living next to.*

Hilarious. People are so dumb. Gotta love em. And that, my friends, is about the only funny or interesting thing you'll find in either of these movies. Enjoy...or don't. I wouldn't waste my time or money if I were you.
