Summary: Terrible, Bad, Painful movie
Review: I'd say the 3-star average review for this movie is probably the average IQ of the people writing the reviews. This movie fails at every attempt to be funny. I did not laugh once. I am a fan of dumb movies. I loved Zoolander, Kung-Pow was one of my favorite movies, and American Pie wasn't terrible. This movie is terrible. Coincidentally, the only funny part of this stinking piece of [junk] is when the young Dizzy is dancing and falls on his crotch while doing the splits, exclaiming "I hurt myself" in a James Brown-esque tone. This is how I feel about the movie. Even though I fell asleep for most of it, this movie actually made me depressed it was so not funny and left an empty void of unfunnines in me for a day or two. Really. I don't know why Lyle Lovett and Henry Rollins agreed to be in this movie. I have lost most of my respect for both of them, even though Black Flag was a great band. ...

Review: Fun movie with several hilarious scenes. Great cast, I especially enjoyed the beautiful Eliza Dushku and Lyle Lovett as DJ Qualls' dad. Henry Rollins has a small role as a prison warden.The DVD includes Simple Plan's "I'm Just a Kid" video.

Summary: New Guy= New addition to the Queen's DVD collection
Review: I didn't see this flick at the theaters because of critics, so I rented, and for my 4 bucks it was worth it. Now, I'm cynical about buying movies...it has to be good and/or cheap. For me it's gonna be both :). I laughed so hard I think my neighbors thought I was on some type of drug.
This movie wasn't made to emulate all the other teeny bopper movies. Instead of seeing high school through the eyes of Ultra jocks and the Ultra preppies, you see through the eyes of Dorks. Who, in my opinion didn't seem all that dorky...granted they wouldn't have been able to sit at my lunch table ...but then again they wouldn't have been tormented either. The story itself is believable beyond belief. If you've ever been a transfer student, then you know what I mean.
Granted...with every movie there is cliches, the mass humilation...geek gets the hot girl...
But geek turned cool-rebel-thug-guy goes through a grand and menancing entrance thanks to new found friends at the state penn (Eddie Griffin,Jermaine "JD" Depree)elude that he is the new roughneck on the block, but gets his [rear] kicked in the first few minutes of being the "new guy" that was simply hilarious. What I liked most about this movie is DJ's character was able to be himself to an extent. Most teen movies project their characters as the more popular you get the phonier you get. The only problem that the main character faced was do I dis my geeky friends or do I pull them into the new found popularity? At this point in the movie he doesn't realize that he could've befriended Freddy Kruger and everyone would've been fine with it.
Terrific movie with a great spin on teen movie cliches....and plenty of interesting Cameos....Seeing Vanila Ice as a clerk at the music store is hilariously reality imitating life...see it for that if nothing else...too funny

Summary: A sad attempt at a funny movie!!
Review: I got The New Guy because it boasts a really funny cast. I love Eliza Dushku, and DJ Qualls was hilarious in Road Trip! But, I'm sad to say, The New Guy was a FLOP!
The storyline was horrible! Dizzy, the school dork , DJ Qualls, gets tossed in jail for breaking a mop, I mean come on! And he gets schooled on how to be a "bad boy" by all the inmates there. I know it the story sounds funny, but, really it's not.
He tranfers to a new school, new look and all, and shows what a punk he is. In the end everything kind of muddles into place.
Well, if you want to see a funny movie, don't get this one, it's a let down! Get Road Trip or American Pie, they will have you rolling on the floor!

Summary: Not great, but not terrible...
Review: I wasn't expecting much at all when I sat down to watch The New Guy, and although it was by far no masterpiece, it wasn't quite as bad as I thought. As a comedy, this movie fails on most levels. Most of the jokes fall flat and the situations are clichéd. In fact, the first half of this film is abysmal. I had already given up on the film being even salvageable until the second half brought in some redemption. Yes, it becomes a little cheesy, but it puts a few twists on the usual storyline. It avoids the usual "rags to riches" template in which the unpopular nerd has something happen and becomes popular and disses his old friends, then everyone finds out his secret and he becomes the same old nerd but now values his old nerdy friends. The New Guy follows the first half of the formula, but then takes a nice departure. Sure it's still on the predictable side, yet it is sweet and uplifting. In fact, it is the charming cast of characters that save this film in the end from a one star fate. DJ Qualls is very likable as the nerd, his friends seem like people you'd want to hang out with in high school, and several cameos are amusing. Also, Lyle Lovett as the nerd's father is quite entertaining. If the jokes were actually funny and the filmmakers toned down the cheese factor at the end, this film would make a good teen film. If you like teen movies, it's worth a rental. If you don't like them, stay away. This one offers nothing for you.

Summary: Prison culture is "cool"?
Review: If you are an intelligent young person, you will undoubtedly see that the makers of this movie are trying to shape your attitudes about what is "cool" and "fashionable". For your own good and the good of our American society, reject the many dangerous messages suggested by this movie. Watch this movie closely and think about the messages that are being suggested to you. According to the makers of this movie, what is the "cool" way to walk and talk? What is the "cool" music? Who are the "cool" guys for the young women to date? If you made this movie, would you suggest the same messages? Think about it.

Summary: The New Guy rocks.
Review: The New Guy is an awesome movie. DJ Qualls is a superstar. And Eddie Griffin is pretty funny too. Elisha Dushku is unbeleivably hot. If you get board sometime just pop the New Guy in your VCR and get ready to be amazed. I especially reccomend this movie to DJ Qualls fans.
