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

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

Never gets on the good foot.

A comedy just funny enough to make viewers wish it were far funnier.
July 20, 2002
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 very forgettable new teen comedy.
June 11, 2013
Despite the endearing presence of DJ Qualls, this feeble farce scrapes the bottom of the gross-out barrel with pitiful results.
June 11, 2013
DJ Qualls does possess some charm, but not the chutzpah to make the forced humor float.

So what's new about The New Guy? Not much, actually.
June 11, 2013
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.

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

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