After School Special vs Girl Next Door


Iˇve just seen After School Special and ʹm suprised how familliar the plot is. Three high school students, all amateur filmakers are getting into making adult movies, meet porn stars. Almost get caught by parents and porn competitors, but in the end they won and got cabriolet. It´s like Girl Next Door with Elisha Cuthbert, but it seems After School Special is OLDER! It was released last year (in Europe this year), but it was shot in 2003. Anyone knows more? It´s very interesting that this film was postponed, I wonder why....

I got my idea : In France, "Girl Next Door" appeared as more clever than "After School Special", really. And the sceenplay about three teenagers making an amateur porn movie... When I saw this morning, it looks as if I've seen "American Pie" !! If The Ashley's character wanted to succeed in a porn career, she would meet Vic Ramalot (it sounds really amazing in french tongue ), are not amateur babes and couples videos/websites in USA ??? It wasn't so funny, even if I discovered Sarah Jane Potts...

I personally dont like Elisha Cuthbert. And when I saw After School Special, Or Barely Legal, whatever, I sort of Liked it. I too think it looked alot like Girl Next Door. It's a typical rated-R comedy.

I liked Girl Next Door a lot better.

There is a major difference though. This film the entire plot revolves around making a porn film. In the Girl Next Door, that did not become important until the end of the film.

Another similarly themed film is I want Candy though its not very good.

Girls Next Door was 100x better than this movie, no doubt !

The Girl Next Door was definately the superior movie, not only because of the plot being more clever, but also for a major part due to Timothy Olyphant'character (Kelly). I didn't mind Barely Legal. It had some funny scenes, but it does not compare to The Girl Next Door (other than both plots involving High School kids making an adult film).

AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL/BARELY LEGAL: 3/10
THE GIRL NEXT DOOR: 7/10
