- 75San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleSan Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleAn appealing Hollywood satire.
- Snappy and smart, the film gets surprisingly far on a fairly contrived conceit, proving that there's no energy quite like energy fueled by anger and disgust.
- 70Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasIn not taking itself too seriously New Suit scores more points than some pictures that take a scathing approach.
- 60Film ThreatFilm ThreatTakes a relatively easy route by bestowing happy endings on the principals, but at least it’s savvy enough to realize that showbiz isn’t all there is to life.
- 60VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyAnother satirical view of the everyday insanity of working within the Industry, slickly made New Suit adds no special insight to the subgenre.
- 50L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonL.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonIf none of it is particularly original or insightful, it's nonetheless executed with skill and economy.
- 40Village VoiceLaura SinagraVillage VoiceLaura SinagraDespite frequent cuts to mambos and cha-chas, this insulated tale of rich interns swindling rich studio bosses has no “Clueless”-style SoCal breeze (or righteous “Working Girl” gotcha).
- 25New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickToothless, unbelievable and not particularly funny, New Suit is no threat to "The Player," "Swimming With Sharks" or "The Big Picture," to name but three more interesting pictures in this inside-baseball genre.
- 25New York Daily NewsJami BernardNew York Daily NewsJami BernardSatire works when it's sharp and funny. When it's not, you get New Suit, an unremarkable sour-grapes comedy about the obsequious players and inconsequential products of Hollywood.
