Trivia
Jennifer Lopez provided clothes from her own wardrobe for her character, Claire, as a means of keeping the budget down.

Goofs
After Noah defends Kevin from his bullies by beating one of them far too much, Vicky keeps Noah in her office and says that the bully's skull has been fractured. Despite such a serious violent assault during school time and on public school property, Noah does not seem to face any consequences from either the school or the local police. He is not arrested or held accountable to the injured teen's parents or even questioned by any one other than Vicky, the vice principal of the school.

Quotes
[from trailer]
Kevin: Do you wanna take a cookie for the road?
Noah Sandborn: [chuckles] I love your mother's cookies.

Alternate versions
The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to remove a moment of strong gory detail (close-up eye gouging) in order to obtain a 15 classification. An uncut 18 classification was available.

This movie is really nothing we haven't seen before: A woman on the brink of divorce has an affair with her younger next door neighbor and, afterward, wants nothing more to do with the man. As a result, the neighbor gets violent and stalks her.

It is a fast-pace thriller with steamy love scenes and quick action sequences. However, the plot is predictable and the acting is sub-par at best. For a movie called, "The Boy Next Door," there should be more suspense and plot twists that lead up to the title role, rather than a one-time encounter that basically reveals almost immediately who the antagonist is.

It's not a entirely bad movie to pass the time with; however, you will find much more suspenseful and captivating thriller than this one.

Grade C-
