Critic Reviews for The New Guy
All Critics (99) | Top Critics (32) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (92) | DVD (11)
Lyle Lovett plays the hero's dad: money must be tight. DJ Qualls: aiming at the dumb and dumber crowd.

A comedy just funny enough to make viewers wish it were far funnier.
The New Guy is a waste of talent and time.
Distinguished by certain rodent-like features, Qualls is a bargain-basement, pre-adult version of David Spade -- and becomes just as tiresome.
It isn't very good, but it doesn't seem to care, which turns out to be rather refreshing.
Likeable characters and a cliched but meatier-than-usual story for a teen comedy.

Audience Reviews for The New Guy
Without a nexus, cliched and dumb screenplay that The New Guy lose his "quality" being just another comercial sex teen American movie. Of course the film bring also very funny scenes and a good soundtrack with funk hits. But unfortunately it doesn't save The New Guy. Rotten.
Super Reviewer
It's kinda stupid. I watched this because of my fave actress Zooey Deschanel but her underarms scared me!

Super Reviewer
Not very original and unintelligent however the actors did a good job in creating a good and funny film to lighten spirits. I like DJ Qualls and he is perfectly cast and he's the best thing in it. Fairly funny but not amazingly great.

Dizzy Harrison/Gil Harris: | I know! Isn't it great? |
