The New Guy (2002)
6/10
Harmless, pointless fun
8 November 2003
I bought my sister the DVD version of the movie while cruising through Border's one weekend afternoon,and I remember having second-thoughts immediately after.

I refused to be in the same room while the movie was playing. After a few days though, I decided to see the movie for myself. After all, my mom saw the movie and said it was funny. It can't be all that bad if my own mom says so, right?

As always, the old adage holds: "Mother knows best." This movie, while full of moments I've seen from many, many teen movies over the years, does come up with its share of funny moments.

I'll say this: Eddie Griffin saves this movie. His scenes are undeniably funny. I remember seeing, "Undercover Brother" and remember being thoroughly entertained (although the hot chicks did help). This movie has its hot chick as well: The undeniably sexy Eliza Dushku, and her two friends (whose names escape me at the moment.)

My heading says it all. Enjoy for what it is!
