Jennifer Lopez is one of the most desirable women in the world –no wonder her younger next door neighbor has got the hots for her. Movie critics can also be included in the bunch, as her most recent production “The Boy Next Door,” out Friday, has received positive reviews.

J.Lo takes the leading role of high school teacher Claire Peterson, and much like in real life, Ms. Peterson is one gorgeous gal, who undeniably turns heads at all times.

Among her many admirers is her vecino and young stud Noah Sandborn, portrayed by the actor of Mexican descent Ryan Guzman.

Wether you’re a fan of Lopez in the big screens or not, movie critics are highly recommending the star’s newest flick.

Co-hosts Rafer Guzman and Kristen Meinzer of NPR’s “The Movie Date,” said the movie was “steamy, much steamier than you’d actually expect.” Impressed with the low-budget production, they also noted that the film is “totally enjoyable.”

Here’s the gist of it, without ruining the entire flick for you: Shortly after her divorce, high school teacher Claire has a one-night stand with her sexy neighbor, who quickly develops a dangerous obsession with her.

In her visit to Univision’s “Despierta America,” J.Lo stated that the psychological thriller, directed by Rob Cohen and written by Barbara Curry, was produced in 23 days with a micro-budget.

However, the cast, which also includes Kristen Chenoweth and John Corbett, could not be any more ecstatic with the outcome.

Perhaps you’re not a big fan of J.Lo’s acting, but word on the street is that the movie has one intense and steamy sex scene. A scene which Lopez herself said: “That was all me, no stunt double needed.”

We wonder how “The Boy Next Door” will do once it hits theaters nationwide on January 23rd.
