Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Aimed at teens with numb senses of humor, The New Guy earns its chuckles mostly by accident. Most of the comedy is DOA, although the cast--especially DJ Qualls in the title role--possesses a modicum of scrappy charm. DJ plays a "blip" on his high school’s social radar, briefly jailed for chronic misbehavior and mentored in coolness by a fellow inmate (Eddie Griffin), who becomes the funky "new guy" at a new school, where he’s worshipped as a mysterious hipster and attracts the hottest cheerleader (Eliza Dushku). Directed without a shred of inspiration (by a cowriter of There’s Something About Mary) and looking like a drab 16-millimeter industrial film, the movie would be a waste of time were it not for its abiding cheerfulness, rock-star cameos (Henry Rollins, Gene Simmons, Tommy Lee), Lyle Lovett as DJ’s dad, and a fresh cast that almost makes this lowbrow mess worthwhile. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very Funny!!!I thought this was really good! It has a really awesome plot and message! Dizzy is a nerd who so desperately wants to be cool. After he's expelled from school, he seeks help from a prisoner named Luther. Luther helps him to become cool. He transfers to a new school and gets people to like him. He beats up the bully. he gets the geeks and cool people to like each other, he helps the football players win the big game, and gets the girl. The bully is sick of it, so he teams up with the bully from Dizzy's ...

It was hard, it was emotional, and by George, I never quite think I ever turned back into the boy I once was. Changing schools is hard when you are young - or at any age - but was the film "The New Guy", cliché ridden from the beginning throughout the end, needed to help those under-privileged tweens prepare themselves for a choice they probably had no decision in? Why I am rambling instead of immediately jumping in why so many others denounced ...

It has everything in it to be a dud and it kind of was at the box office. It is however a funny and predictable movie but enjoyable. Dizzy Harrison(Qualls)is a loser and having a terrible senior year. He gets himself expelled by doing some crazy and fairly entertaining acts. He gets trained by his prsion inmated(led by Eddie Griffin)and sets off to his new high school to rule it. He quickly does and falls for the lead cheerleader Danielle(Dushku). She has a thing for "Gil Harris" ... Read More Rating: - Absolutely hilarous!My family and I accidentally found this on regular cable tv, and loved it so much, we came to amazon to buy it. I was shocked that none of us remembered any trailers or ads for this movie. It is incredibly funny, for anyone above age of 12. Browse for similar items by category:
