      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      The Boy Next Door may get a few howls out of fans of stalker thrillers, but for most viewers, it won't even rise to "so bad it's good" status.

      Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Solidly MOR fare that should be propping up Channel 5's Friday night schedule sometime very soon. Rated: 2/5 Mar 1, 2015 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) Rob Cohen's half-baked erotic thriller plays like a misguided homage to Eighties video fare and to family-in-peril sagas like Unlawful Entry or Cape Fear. Rated: 2/5 Feb 26, 2015 Full Review Wendy Ide Times (UK) One of the stupidest films ever made. Rated: 1/5 Feb 26, 2015 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...an absurdly melodramatic film that has very little going for it but Lopez, who manages to make it watchable as a happy centre to a rather miserable story.. Rated: 2/5 Feb 24, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “The Boy Next Door” is too unconsciously goofy to be taken seriously and it takes itself too seriously to be good campy fun. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Cate Young Thirty, Flirty + Film There's enough of a so-bad-it's-good quality to make the film fun, and it's immensely delightful to make fun of.

      Steven James R Great Thriller I Knew The Movie From Start To Finish When I Watched The Movie On It's First Release Day In Theatrical Cinemas Around The UK, Almost As Though I Was In The Movie At The Time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Lynn A Awful. Some soft core porn, yes. But unless one enjoys that, not worth watching, although I did. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review donnie m 2 stars because the last scene was worth watching the rest of this ridiculous (because j-lo character was SO ignorant) throughout the movie-she's a good badass but it took the whole movie to get there Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Monica C Bad acting, ridiculous plot. Why these big name actors decided to do this movie is beyond me. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/27/23 Full Review Jens B AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH wtf this is so bad but in a really entertaining way Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/04/23 Full Review Scarpa Tem a Jennifer Lopez no elenco, mas não adianta nada, o filme é tão horroroso, isso é um nojo, é tudo confuso, o enredo é sem sentido e chato, atuações muito forçadas, um dos piores filmes que já assisti. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
