some entertaining song and dance numbers,but virtually no story

this is pure musical,with virtually no story,but it's actually pretty fun.there are some pretty entertaining songs and dance numbers.some of the songs,though,i felt were a bit overdone.if you're not in to musicals,you might want to skip this one.if you're a musical fan,you might like it.the characters are all very likable,and the movie is all ages appropriate.there's nothing offensive at all.it moves along at a good pace.you might feel satisfied while watching.the only thing is,i don't feel it was that memorable.after it's over you'll probably forget about it pretty quickly.but it is entertaining while watching,so i'll give The Girl Next Door a 6/10
