The trailer for Jennifer Lopez’s new thriller _The Boy Next Door_ takes a page out of the _Desperate Housewives_ playbook — but instead of sleeping with a pool boy, a vulnerable and recently separated Lopez has a steamy night with the high school-aged boy next door, Noah — who has the abs of actor Ryan Guzman. Realizing that it is _really not okay_ for a 40-something to sleep with a high school student who — spoiler alert! — is friends with your son and a new student in your class, Lopez tries to cut things off. Unfortunately, poor little Noah is a threatening sociopath who won’t take no for an answer. If this trailer is any indication, the movie is a series of stalking, pictures of the affair getting posted around school, and creepy one liners like, “I love your mother’s cookies.” Cute. _The Boy Next Door_ is in theaters January 23, 2015. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3305616/jennifer-lopez-boy-next-door-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3305616/jennifer-lopez-boy-next-door-trailer/"},"headline":"J.
