| | | From Housewife To Porn Star...
Features: DVD
The Girl Next Door is an intimate and humanizing look into the rise to fame of adult film superstar Stacy Valentine. The wheels were set in motion when Stacy's then-husband, to satisfy his own sexual fantasy, urged his Oklahoma housewife, Stacy Baker, to submit her photograph to Gallery Magazine's amateur pictorial competition, voyeuristically named, "The Girl Next Door." Easily winning this contest, Stacy was soon gracing the cover of Hustler magazine and accepting offers to perform in X-rated films. The Girl Next Door is the conflicting story between Stacy Baker and the world of pornography, and Stacy Valentine and her desire for true love. Stacy allows us to experience the exotic world of pornography through the eyes of a former housewife from Oklahoma.
"Daring and honest..." Charles Lyons, The New York Times
"Highly entertaining, heartfelt portrait of the adult film business." Philadelphia Inquirer

| | Professional Reviews | James Berardinelli's ReelViews 8 of 10
The Girl Next Door represents a sincere and enlightening portrait of a complex individual...Although The Girl Next Door's primary goal is to offer a well-rounded cinematic representation of Stacy The Person (not just Stacy The Porn Star), the cameras also reveal something about the world around her. Without being judgmental, Fulgate gives us an unvarnished look into the heart of the porn industry. The Girl Next Door isn't an expose, nor is it intended to be - the movie doesn't dwell on drugs, violence, and sleaze. Instead, it depicts the hollowness of this lifestyle. All that glitters is not gold, and, in this case, the glamour is all artificial and the adoration is skin deep. - James Berardinelli
San Francisco Chronicle 8 of 10
This is an intelligent, well-made film about a seemingly well-adjusted, likable and loquacious woman. The Girl Next Door is not a sleaze-fest. The most hard-core footage are operation scenes that show the porn star getting her breasts augmented and liposuction on her thighs.The picture is fascinating...The film doesn't lend itself to any dogmatic feminist interpretation. One does come away, though, with the sense that, after all, some things are just wrong, even if everybody is smiling as they do it - Mick LaSalle
