Customer Reviews of The New Guy
I REALLY wish I could recommend this If you enjoy movies in the "teen melodrama" genre, The New Guy is actually pretty decent. The story, about a teen who rebuilds his image with the help of a prison inmate, has a constant feel-good vibe to it. The script is occasionally funny with deliberate nods to the cliches of the genre, and is sometimes plain bizzare. DJ Qualls is a likeable lead, without the arrogance of most actors who take these roles. And of course, there's Eliza Dushku, the main reason I saw this movie in the first place. She's beautiful, talented, and her swimsuit montage is definitely the movie's highlight! Hopefully though, she'll find more ambitious projects in the future.
So I liked The New Guy, but I still can't recommend it. For the movies few original moments, the rest of the stuff still feels pretty cliched and predictable. Worse than that, the movie is badly filmed, without the lively colors or brightness of She's All That, Bring it On, or American Pie. It has an amateurish look, and this is what really hurts the film. There are many plot holes, like how Qualls and Eddie Griffin can move around so freely in prison. While this might have been a deliberate gag, it feels more like sloppy writing. The gags are simply okay; they're funny to the point where you might find yourself smiling a lot, but few go the extra distance and make you truly laugh out loud.
Worse still, the DVD looks like a bare-bones effort. If the DVD had included some good bonus features (com'on, there HAS to be outtakes of Eliza Dushku from the swimsuit scene!), I would have gladly added another star. If more bonus features are revealed later, then consider another star added and my full recommendation to buy, but as it stands the movie by itself is not worth the cost on DVD. If you're an Eliza Dushku fan, like I am, then the movie *is* worth the cost, but ONLY after rigorous price-comparison shopping.
This DVD should only be purchased by Eliza Dushku fans, though since the film is moderately fun in a non-sensical way, everyone else should at least give it a rental.
funny, no... Halerious, all the way!!!!
It's your clasic nerd turned into a wild crazy person after purposley getting exspelled from school. He enrolles in new school, with a new attitude that chicks love. Dont' want to spoil it, great movie, You will laugh the whole entire way.
A ZERO WILL RISE
The New Guy Rocks!
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!
