A newly divorced woman falls for a younger man who has recently moved in across the street from her, but their torrid affair soon takes a dangerous turn (www.imdb.com)
Director: Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious, xXx, Alex Cross)
Starring: Jennifer Lopez, Ryan Guzman, Kristin Chenoweth
The Boy Next Door has plenty of promise, but falls the opposite direction when it hits its peak. Jennifer Lopez is an aspiring lead, getting the best out of an uninspiring storyline. The 19 year old youngster she has her wicked way with looks about 30, so her worries feel somewhat exaggerated. The-cat and-mouse chase between the idiosyncratic 'boy next door' (Guzman's Noah) and the susceptible Claire (Lopez) is distressing and uncomfortable to watch. After their one night stand, Noah's Freudian obsession become fully psychotic within a matter of days. The Boy Next Door attempts to abuse our ignorance with its implausibilities.
2/5
