The Girl Next Door Page 3 “Emile Hirsch, the star of "The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys," radiates appeal as Matthew, the hard-pressed star of "Next Door." If he doesn't have the screen presence of Tom Cruise in his star-making "Business" role, he may have more acting talent. But he's the lone shining light in this film.”- Lawrence Toppman, The Charlotte Observer “Emile Hirsch is the type of guy that would fit a movie like Weird Science or Sixteen Candles. He comes off as the love child of Anthony Michael Hall and a very young John Cusack. Driving around in his station wagon while all the other kids drink beer and carry off cheerleaders in their stylish pickups and SUV’s, Hirsch is dazzling when playing the downtrodden everyman.”- Joshua Tyler, Cinema Blend “The characters are instantly appealing, particularly Hirsch, who brings a winning package of plausibility to Matthew.”-Rob Vaux, Flipside “The frankly fantastic Emile Hirsch (The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys) plays Matthew Kidman”-Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic “The sympathetic Hirsch almost defines a role written with little definition.”- Jeffrey Weshoff, Northwest Herald “Mr. Hirsch, remembered from The Emperor's Club and The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, diligently captures Matthew's comic innocence, and never more than when he must deliver his important speech while high on ecstasy.”- Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News “If you're going to re-envision a teen movie, the one that made Cruise a star back in 1983 is better than most sources of inspiration. The Girl Next Door could do the same thing for Hirsch, who - with his approachable demeanor and boyish visage - resembles a young George Stephanopoulos. (That's apropos because his character, Matthew, is the Georgetown-bound student-body president with aspirations of reaching the White House.)”-Christy Lemire, Rocky Mountain News Dangerous Lives Page 1 Dangerous Lives Page 2 Emperor's Club The Mudge Boy The Girl Next Door Page 1 The Girl Next Door Page 2 |
