However, the illogical plot line, which grows only increasingly absurd as the movie progresses, almost irreparably damages the film. Once Matthew has entangled himself in the world of adult movie directors, the danger reaches an incongruously grim level where thousands of dollars, his scholarship to Georgetown and his life are at stake. Furthermore, The Girl Next Door features an ending that is not only predictable, but absurdly assumes that the career choice of adult film star is an obstacle that needs to be overcome like an illness or a bad drug habit.

...Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani hedge their bets in response to Moqtada's challenge - calling on Shiites to refrain from violence but at the same time expressing sympathy for their grievances and condemning Coalition actions - many Shiites loyal to Sistani have nonetheless joined protest actions led by the Sadrists. The danger is that the cost in casualties and strife of suppressing Moqtada's intifada and the Sunni insurgency could deepen anti-American feeling among neutral elements in the Sunni and Shiite communities that have not supported violence...
