So The Girl Next Door will come out in two flavors for DVD come 8/24/2004.

An unrated widescreen special edition.
A rated full screen special edition.

I'm so buying the unrated widescreen edition.

I <3 Elisha Cuthbert

It's good that they punish the foolscreen brigade with only a rated version

Is this the documentary or the teen flick?

I'm hoping the former.

Teen comedy that will do well in dvd sells. Fox will make it's money back easy from this.

Thanks for the info

I'll definitely be getting the WS unrated edition!

I bet this 'unrated' version is really the R rated verson

Since I recall this was briefly released in theaters with a PG-13 months ago..I at least saw previews for it & lobby ads in theaters for its release with a PG-13. Then months later,it was back and rated R.

Still nice that they do make the more toned down version in P&S only. Haha,take that P&S lovers!

There is no way in hell the film was ever rated PG-13 and no advertising material I saw indicated a PG-13. The film had it's share of female nudity, sexual situations and dialog, brief intense violence (the car crash dream sequence easily comes to mind), and strong language. The film was near hard-R material. One would have to edit a lot out to even come close to PG-13 material. Make sure you actually see the film first before even making comments like that.

The director said more of the "unrated" material lies within the "sexual content" of the film (including a specific scene involving the two "lesbians"), but who knows, a few of the trailers included footage not seen in the final cut of the film. The "unrated cut" could be just an extended cut of the R-rated cut and the director is pulling our leg after all.

But one thing is for sure, the international red-band trailer included a more racier version of the "lapdance" scene (the girls giving Matt and Mr. Peterson lapdances are topless, unlike in the final cut in which they're clothed).

Hmm,well I do remember seeing alot of trailers originally months before the release saying PG-13,unless they were mistaken. It's happened before.

That was what made me originally not interested in seeing the film. I heard something about sexuality,one charecter being a porn star or stripper and thought "dammit..they copped out on yet another teen film!".

Which is why it was a surprise to me,to see it listed as R rated when it came out in theaters.

Good news for all! Elisha Cuthbert

Yeah, I followed this film very closely after hearing it was being made and I never saw anything that even hinted at a PG-13. It was R all the way through. And I do remember the director saying they filmed scenes specifically for an unrated release.

any chance of elisa cuthbert actually being nude for the unrated cut.

not a chance in hell This was easily one of the best teen movies in ages and is one of the best movies so far in 2004, so I will certainly be picking it up.

MATT

Is this still out in the theaters? I might have to check it out.

None.

I'll be picking it up. Good news.

By far, the best movie of the year thus far.

I can't wait to get this!

can't wait!

I enjoyed this one a lot. One of the "smarter" teen comedies to come out in some time. Must buy for me.

this movie comes out in cinemas in australia soon.
is it worth seeing?

If you like smart teen sex comedies which don't rely on gross-out humor, then yes. I thought it was one of the best films of 2004 so far (next to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Kill Bill: Volume Two).

From the ever wonderful DVD Answers...
