THE BOY NEXT DOOR<\/strong>
\nUniversal Pictures<\/strong>
\nReviewed for Shockya by Harvey Karten. Data-based on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/strong>
\nGrade:\u00a0 C<\/strong>
\nDirector:\u00a0 Rob Cohen<\/strong>
\nScreenwriter:\u00a0 Barbara Curry<\/strong>
\nCast:\u00a0 Jennifer Lopez, Ryan Guzman, Ian Nelson, John Corbett, Kristin Chenoweth<\/strong>
\nScreened at:\u00a0 AMC Lincoln Square, NYC, 1\/21\/15<\/strong>
\nOpens:\u00a0 January 23, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Judy Garland was twenty-two years of age she starred in \u201cMeet Me in St. Louis\u201d which takes place during the 1904 world\u2019s fair.\u00a0 If you\u2019re of a certain age or if you\u2019re young and into musicals, you recall her singing Vincent Youman\u2019s lyrics, \u201cHow can I ignore\/ The boy next door\/ I love him more than I can say\u2026\/And he doesn\u2019t even glance my way.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 How innocent were the musicals of the 1940s!\u00a0 And how innocent was Judy Garland\u2019s little dance in front of a mirror, blouse and skirt filling every inch of her body, as she contemplates how to get noticed by the young man she adores.\u00a0 Compare that to J-Lo\u2019s examining her body in the skimpiest of underclothing as she luxuriates in the thought that in her own 40\u2019s she can attract a young man of 19!\u00a0 Times have changed.\u00a0 In fact \u201cThe Boy Next Door,\u201d directed by Rob Cohen, famous for \u201cThe Fast and the Furious,\u201d is so trashy that you may just yearn to return to those glorious days of musical showbiz moviemaking that came out of the golden age of Broadway entertainment.<\/p>\n

Not that trashy means that Cohen\u2019s movie, budgeted at fifty-four million dollars, lacks entertainment value.\u00a0 Barbara Curry\u2019s dialogue can be expected to evoke guffaws from the audience for some unintentional humor, and audience members mostly below the age of thirty may cheer the hugely over-the-top climax which involves stabbings, shooting and burnings.\u00a0 Have I given away anything?\u00a0 Nope, because ten minutes into the movie, you\u2019re way ahead of the characters in this oh-so-predictable psychological thriller.<\/p>\n

Claire Peterson (Jennifer Lopez) should have looked the other way or graded some of her advanced placement high-school student papers instead of looking at the handsome boy next door, Noah Sandborn (Ryan Guzman) had just moved in the nabe from San Bernardino to take care of his uncle, who is scheduled for a liver transplant.\u00a0 This guy has everything.\u00a0 First, in real life, the actor is twenty-seven and is made to pass for nineteen.\u00a0 OK, that\u2019s a stretch.\u00a0 He\u2019s obviously as much as a decade older than his classmates.\u00a0 In short order, he\u2019s fixing the Peterson car together with Kevin Peterson (Ian Nelson), who is Claire\u2019s dorky son, advising him how to get a date with \u201cthe prettiest girl in school,\u201d fixing the garage door, beating up the bullies who pick on the kid, and meeting Claire at a time of her vulnerability, as she is about to get a divorce from her cheatin\u2019 husband (John Corbett).\u00a0 Her sister (Kristin Chenoweth) strongly advises her to get those divorce papers signed<\/p>\n

So when a guy has bulging biceps, the ability to quote Homer from memory (convenient when he\u2019s trying to impress an English teacher dealing with the classics), and is a mentor for her son tells her that she\u2019s sexy (as in another musical, \u201cWhatcha gonna do when a fella gets flirty, starts to talk dirty\u201d), Claire is just a gal who can\u2019t say no.<\/p>\n

Noah will turn out to be a guy like Ted Bundy, charming at first, then turning gradually psycho.\u00a0 And the last thing a teacher wants to do is to fall for a psycho student if she values her job, her life, and her kid\u2019s future.\u00a0 One of the picture\u2019s pleasures is the bad luck that passes the way of Claire\u2019s sister, a woman who keeps bugging Claire to get rid of her husband, to start dating, and whose voice resembles that of fingernails crawling down a chalkboard.<\/p>\n

For cheap thrills, predictability, and some unintentional laughs, go ahead and have a look.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget: it\u2019s January, and you\u2019ll be getting what you expect to get in January.<\/p>\n

Rated R.\u00a0 91 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n
