Reviews for The New Guy
Review - New Guy, The
Not worth a lot of comment. Dizzy Harrison is a nerd who is always picked on at school. He goes nuts one day and gets tossed into prison where he meets an imate who tells him how to reconstruct his life. He starts by getting expelled from his high school and transferred to another school. With a new haircut and new walk, he starts his first day by using dirty tricks taught to him in prison to beat up the toughest guy in school. This attracts all the hot chicks, which makes him popular with everyone else. Danielle, cheerleader and most popular girl in school, asks him to come root for the awful football team, which makes everyone else show up too. The football team goes on to win the rest of its games and make it to the championship. Meanwhile, Dizzy is now hanging out with Danielle regularly and has everyone in the school being nice to the nerds. He gets his nerd friends from his old school a gig at the homecoming. But there’s a hitch. A football player from his old school recognizes him at the championship game and tells everyone who he really is and what a nerd he was at his old school. It doesn’t work. The kids at his new school beat up the guy from his old school, and Danielle still loves him.
Stupid and forgettable. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it before, but I’m not sure. I gave it a 5 because it did have a few laughs. Not many, but a few.
