The New Guy

Maybe the only thing revelatory about The New Guy is how redemptive a good heart can be to even the most derivative film. Be prepared to smile.

This is a truly awful movie, made from one of the worst scripts in memory. The New Guy has been on the shelf for more than a year, and it's clear the reason for the long wait wasn't perfectionism. More likely, it was embarrassment.

A comedy just funny enough to make viewers wish it were far funnier.

So what's new about The New Guy? Not much, actually.

It isn't very good, but it doesn't seem to care, which turns out to be rather refreshing.

DJ Qualls does possess some charm, but not the chutzpah to make the forced humor float.

Written, flatly, by David Kendall and directed, barely, by There's Something About Mary co-writer Ed Decter.

A very forgettable new teen comedy.

Never gets on the good foot.

Despite the endearing presence of DJ Qualls, this feeble farce scrapes the bottom of the gross-out barrel with pitiful results.

It's a fun, upbeat movie, and there are scenes that are downright hilarious.

Distinguished by certain rodent-like features, Qualls is a bargain-basement, pre-adult version of David Spade -- and becomes just as tiresome.
