This movie is a total slapstick gem. I really think it holds up better than most of the teen movies of the last decade. The first time I watched it, I was with a couple of people who complained how stupid it was the entire time. Later, it was on one of the movie channels and I watched it alone. I found myself laughing my head off. The humor is sometimes low brow and rarely realistic, but that makes it great. You really have to embrace the absurdity of this movie. At it's core, The New Guy is still a sweet little movie about an uncool kid making it to the top. The cameos are great, and so is DJ Qualls. If you're ready to laugh and have a good time, lose your inhibitions and check it out.
