The Boy
Ted Henley and his father operate a floundering family business: The Mt. Vista Motel. It’s just the two of them since Ted’s mother ran off with a guest years earlier, stealing the motel’s soul and one of its last regular patrons. Since then, Ted’s father has drifted into despondency, becoming a living ghost, haunting his own motel and leaving Ted to fend for himself. In his isolation, unchecked by the bounds of parenting, friendship, or affection, Ted fascination with death awakens.

There are many grades of terrible in Hollywood, and this is pretty nearly the worst.

This is a marvel of bad editing and if that fascinates you, you might enjoy yourself; otherwise, I'd steer clear.

Jennifer Lopez has serious beefcake issues in this lazy, low-budget, not-as-much-fun-as-it-should-be potboiler.

It's badly directed, poorly edited, and features some of the most unconvincing acting this side of a soup commercial.

There's 'funny-haha,' and 'funny-strange,' but the howler that is 'The Boy Next Door' lands solidly in the category of 'funny-please-just-shoot-me-now.'

I haven't seen a bigger mess in wide release since Dana Carvey's career-terminating The Master of Disguise.

It's all hilariously ridiculous, but bless J.Lo for trying her mightiest to sell it. If someone's going to bring sultriness to suburbia, it might as well be Jenny from the Block.
