There is nothing new in The Boy Next Door that hasn't been done before by any TV movie thriller, or a B-movie thriller, for that matter. I think the only thing that makes this movie interesting are that the two main leads - Jennifer Lopez and Ryan Guzman - are such eye candies! Watching the movie is not really a bad idea for a date movie! You will surely get horny watching these two make-out - and there are several scenes in the movie which actually made the audience shout and shriek! Even though everything in the movie is formulaic, it does have its own jolt moments! Or I guess, the audience I watched it with, just really cared for J.Lo's character.
After all, Ryan Guzman's character here is a meanie stalker! That would be a very easy mistake for any one to make - be they a boy or a girl! He's such a looker, that guy!
It's impossible not to get lost in the eyes of Ryan Guzman as you watch The Boy Next Door! He's just really hot, hawt, hot! As soon as he appears, I think, into the first 10 minutes of the movie, you could actually hear the women and the gay men in the audience actually swoon and drool! He's the ultimate eye candy!
If only for this reason, he's probably the best excuse you can make to yourself as to why you should watch 'The Boy Next Door'.
His character though in this movie is not so nice, I have to warn you in advance. No goody-two shoes here, but even then, we like them bad, don't we!
My current hunk du jour is Ryan Guzman of Step Up All In. Not only is he eye candy, he can also act and dance well! We really enjoyed watching the movie because of him! My friend, Budz, couldn't help gush all over him everytime he appears onscreen!
There are actually so many things to like in the latest Step Up movie series, Step Up All In. I don't know how many they have come up yet, but I started watching this dance movie franchise way back in 2006, when Channing Tatum was still this relatively unknown hot guy has been the springboard of a new host of hot looking guys who can be both models and dancers at the same time!
And that is exactly what Ryan Guzman does in this movie. It's not difficult to love those puppy eyes and those 6-pack abs and that the guy can dance too is just icing on the cake! And that he can also act just tells you that there are so many goodlooking men like him in Hollywood just wanting to be the next big star. Channing Tatum eventualy became an A-list actor. If Ryan Guzman plays his cards right, he could follow Tatum's footsteps as well.
As for the movie, just lay back and relax and just enjoy all the dancing that almost 50-60% of this movie offers! I love each one of the dance sequences and now that I've actually danced in a big venue, I already know the hard work that each dancer puts in just to do that 3 minute video! It's definitely hard work guys and I appreciate a lot what the dancers in the movie put in here. Not only do they have to dance well, they also have to act, at least in a believable manner!
Izabella Miko as Alexxa is our next favorite character in the movie and I believe that if enough gay men watch this movie, Alexxa would be top the next drag queen contest. She's just so camp and they way she talks and moves her hands and the clothes she wear - truly a drag queen's fantasy!
Well, now that the movies today cost 200-250 pesos per ticket, this would be better seen on a big screen rather than on your tablets or your TVs! All the dance sequences are well-thought off and the cast, the director and the choreographers really did a good job in making everything glossy and flashy and joyful to watch! Definitely worth the ticket price!
