Summary: A Little Entertaining
Review: The New Guy, just one of the many teen movies we were being slapped with monthly a few years ago. But now they're just sporadicly released, and I guess that's making them a little better. For The New Guy, although not flashy or star-filled, was an entertaining flick. The story is a twist on the "fish out of water" plot with the main character, Dizzy, transcending from "a blip on the radar screen" to one of the most mysterious yet undeniably hip students at a high school. His transformation is done by a prison mate who - and I found this weird - could be visited frequently. There were actually a lot of weird plot hole instances in this movie, but they're easily overlooked for the film has a sense of stupidity about it. Which could annoy some, but make it entertaining enough for others. DJ Squalls was perfect for this role, and although not an A-list actor, he handles himself well and has a bit of comic timing. Eddie Griffin is - as always - annoyingly funny, yet his act is toned down here and his humour is felt a bit more than normal. Eliza Dushku carries us through with the lead female, and she's luscious as always. I've got to note that there were some interesting cameos throughout the entire movie. While the DVD is almost featureless (a music video, the trailer, etc.), The New Guy is a good buy if you enjoyed the flick itself.

Summary: Fun, over and over again...
Review: The absurdity is what makes this movie so funny. They makers didn't try to address any "hard hitting" issues, they didn't try to over dramatize things. If I want ER, I'll watch ER. If I want Schindler's List, I watch it. When I want a movie with a good simple story that still makes me laugh after I've seen it with my 4th group of friends in a week I'll watch this movie. DJ Qualls did a great job, I just wish his big song number at the end went a little longer. Eddie Griffin was great, and a laugh a minute. And what can I say about Eliza Dushku, beautiful, ... and it was fun seeing her in a "good guy" roll. Buffy and Angel fans will be presently surprised. The movie also boasted a fun group of cameo rolls. It's fun to try and spot them all. A nice light fun hearted flick.

Summary: Crazy eyes!
Review: This movie was silly and simplistic, but really funny. My kids enjoyed it immensely, one of them watched it several times. Great for teenagers, and fun for the older generation. The pay attention to the poor reviews some here have been giving, and give it a try. By the way, a few of the scenes are a bit raunchy, but not too bad.

Summary: great movie as long as you have a good sense of humor
Review: I thought this movie was hilarious. This movie isnt for everyone though, you need to have a good sense of humor. It helps if you are still young to, most adults won't go for it. Im 19, and i have a great sense of humor. If you liked movies such as Van Wilder, Not Another Teen Movie, American Pie, and movies like these, then you will get plenty of laughs out of The New Guy. The fact that there are alot of cameo apperances in the movie makes it cool to. Tony hawk makes an apperance and Vanilla Ice, just seeing him should make you laugh! Im a huge Buffy and Angel fan, so anyone else who is will like it because Eliza Dushku is one of the main characters, and shes good not bad. If you have a few friends over and want to have a good laugh then watch this movie.

Summary: Just another teen movie--need I say more?
Review: It seems I'm not the only one who reluctantly rented this movie when I couldn't find anything more appealing. Still, it turned out to be worth the effort. Dizzy, the lead character, is a loser at his school, at least until he is turned around by a convict who takes pity on him. Now, he's at a new school, parading as a guy named Gil, and trying to fit in. The previews for this movie looked absolutely horrendous, but it was actually pretty funny. Granted, there were a ton of forced jokes that were downright ridiculous, and that left you wondering what kind of idiot would write such a script. Still, despite this setback, there were many funny moments. The cameos are great--I laughed when I saw Henry Rollins, Tommy Lee, Vanilla Ice, and David Hasselhoff turn up. As I said, the movie has a certain kind of forced humor to it, but there is enough entertainment value to watch it at least once. You may not want to own it, but you won't be wasting your time (at least not too much) by watching it once.

Summary: The New Guy Rocks!
Review: Apparently The New Guy has been trashed by a lot of people. But it's one of the funniest films I've seen in a long time! Sure, it's not the most sophisticated films in cinema history, but it doesn't deserve to be trashed! D J Qualls performance as gawky Gil was fantastic and I enjoyed every minute of this film. The star of the show was Gil's prison buddy but there were hundreds of fantastically funny moments! It was fantastic and I'd recommend it to anyone who was just looking for a bit of fun, because they's definately find it here! HILARIOUS!

Summary: the funniest movie in the world
Review: The New Guy review
By: Brayden If you thought that The New Guy is about a person who goes to a new school, well you're totally, absolutely, positively wrong!!!!! You'll love The New Guy when you see the funny dancing, funny violence, and of course funny people. Some people are mean in the movie, but some people are nice and sweet. The New Guy is about a senior high schooler ( DJ Qualls) who was a big geek last year because of bullies. He gets tired of being a geek and tries to get in trouble. But he gets in big enough trouble to go to jail. There he finds a friend ( Eddie Griffin) who teaches him how to be cool for his new school. I'd give it four stars because of a particular scene. A bully from the old school comes to the new guy's school to [trouble him], but everyone in the the new guys school beets up the bully and a little dude has a trash can that all the bullies pick on. Critics say "would you laugh at a tuba playing dwarf rolled down the hill in a trash can? Do you chuckle at the thought of an ancient Liberian whacking a certain part of a mans body? If you say yes to both of those questions, then enjoy the show. That's my information of "The New Guy" hope you see the movie. (pg-13 and 88 minutes) Some content may not be suitable for kids under 13.

Review: Yes, this movie is silly and simplistic, but it is also really funny. My kids enjoyed it immensely, one of them watched it several times. Great for teenagers, and fun for the older generation. Don't pay attention to the poor reviews some here have been blasting at it with, and give it a try. The entire cast from the nerds to the in-crowd to Crazy Eyes performed quite well. By the way, a few of the scenes are a bit raunchy, but not too bad.

Summary: Stupid fun at its best
Review: The New Guy will never win over the sheep that flock to the Coen Brothers movies. And The New Guy will always be panned by critics and psuedo-critics. But this is the type of movie where you just sit back for an hour and a half and just laugh at the stupidity of the film. At it's core, The New Guy is a fun movie for anyone under 30. Sure, the story is lame. But DJ Qualls has the quirky charm he had in Road Trip. Eliza Dushku probably could have starred in a much better indie flick. But she gets to show off as a feminine sex object in this film. Not the kind of rough, down-and-dirty girl that's she's played in Buffy and Angel. The cameos help this film a lot. Lyle Lovett is surprisingly funny as Qualls' father. While Eddie Griffin plays a big role early in the movie, he moves to the background for a fair amount of time. Some of his stuff is forced. But in the end, you know this movie wouldn't have worked without him. If you're looking to just have fun with a movie, I'd highly suggest The New Guy. It's a good movie for a Saturday or Sunday when nothing is on. If you can watch The Transporter, you can watch The New Guy too.
