    Made better by Paul Dano’s appearance: Tarantino continues to be wrong (Using two perfect references from the last month) it’s Hardcore meets Miss March As the resident cool dude due to having a pool, I got to use and see used that “I’m all wet. Can I come in?” line no less than 100 times in high school Haven’t seen this in 20 years. I suspect it was quite foundational to how I thought high school and college would be! Also in incorporating partying into my personality to be more cool! Some genuinely great shit in this that holds up, and then the other stuff! Solid but superficial takes on how women are viewed as sex objects by men, especially since they don’t mind doing it as part of the background lol Remar, Olyphant, and even Hirsch are all killing it but Elisha is honestly superb in her role I have a recurring dream where I give a Valedictorian speech hammered and kill it. Gonna assume that’s from this Exceptional soundtrack. Baba O’Reilly ending will always stick with me Such a funny climactic conundrum. “Which horny high schooler has to take the hit by sleeping with the gorgeous adult film star?” So incredible. An amazing piece of work. The rando constantly saying crass things and genuinely being in love with Samnang was amazing
  • greatest film of all time

    Add 20 years onto risky business and you get 'the girl next door'. It's a fun story with likeable characters if you can suspend disbelief on the premise

    If you'd like risky business then this is right up your alley!!! Has all the elements of an '80s Hit. Some love and hate, with some wheel and deal, and with all the lessons to be learned that life throws at you. When push comes to shove you have to make a decision if the juice is worth the squeeze!!! And remember there's always the girl NextDoor (aka opportunity).

    That's really not the girl next door. Elisha is far beyond 'next door.'
