The New Guy




Rating: PG-13

Movie Release Date: May 10, 2002

DVD Release Date: August 13, 2002

Plot 411: A geeky guy reinvents himself with the help of some cons in the slammer.

Review: DJ Qualls plays Dizzy, a super geeky high school kid who has been tormented his entire life. During his senior year, some stuff happens and he gets arrested. In jail, he learns the secret to being cool with the help of Luther (Eddie Griffin). When he's released, Dizzy enrolls in a new school as "the new guy" and takes the place by storm. He even unites the geeks and jocks, something people never thought was possible. I haven't watched this movie in a while but remember enjoying it enough to keep watching. I wouldn't say it was a great movie, but it's chock full of stupid humor and nonsense. It exaggerates high school life as most Hollywood films do, which makes it both funny and ridiculous at the same time. This is one of those movies you gotta see with a big group of people and an unlimited supply of liquor.

Watch It: For the juvenile humor.

Skip It: Because it's not nearly as good as American Pie.
