The New Guy Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
A comedy just funny enough to make viewers wish it were far funnier.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
The New Guy is a waste of talent and time.
Variety
Robert Koehler
Distinguished by certain rodent-like features, Qualls is a bargain-basement, pre-adult version of David Spade -- and becomes just as tiresome.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
It isn't very good, but it doesn't seem to care, which turns out to be rather refreshing.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
Never gets on the good foot.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
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.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
It contains moments that suggest a genuinely original comic sensibility, but too often the film retreats into standard gross-out territory.
Boston Globe
Renee Graham
So wrongheaded that this one couldn't even have looked good on paper.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
[L]ame and unnecessary.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
A very bad movie.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Qualls moves his marionette body around with a true clown's effervescence, and he does rubber-faced parodies of youth cool that are just what youth cool deserves.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Every bad cliche of every bad high school movie finds a home here.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
A particularly loathsome piece of cultural detritus.
Seattle Times
Eli Sanders
The film's thoroughly recycled plot and tiresome jokes ... drag the movie down.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
Lame, haphazard teen comedy.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
An unintentional parody of every teen movie made in the last five years.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It makes little sense, fails as often as it succeeds, and yet is not hateful and is sometimes quite cheerfully original.
New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
The New Guy does have a heart. Now, if it only had a brain.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
A loud, brash and mainly unfunny high school comedy.
