Some Spoilers DJ Quails stars as a kid who purposely gets expelled from one school to go in to another school, where he can start with a new reputation. The story then shows him attaining all of what he wants, but he has to disconnect himself from his past. Then he is reconnected with the past he is running from. There are a couple laughs and a feel good or almost fairy tale ending, as all works out in the ends and he gets the girl and keeps his new reputation.Eliza Dushku also stars in this one and she is the girl he gets. She again in an edgy cheerleader and a side character, like "Bring It On". I always watch Eliza hoping for a little more drama from her. She can be a very powerful dramatic actress. However, in this one, she hardly raises her voice.The story may seem pretty unrealistic, but it has a good theme, I believe in. The main character's major change starts as an act, but he gradually gains confidence in himself. When his confidence changes, he is no longer concerned so much with himself, but with others. At that point he becomes likable and one can understand why the new school likes him.

I can't believe I watch this. Maybe I'm too old for this or I've been watching too much comedy with Seth Rogen in it. That, coming from someone who can watch Road Trip over and over again. Writing is junk, directing is mediocre, camera work needs to be worked on and acting is somewhere between bad and tolerable. To be pessimistic, maybe this can be a stepping stone for rising celebrities, writers and directors. But I have to say that DJ Qualls does have the potential to make it big in the comedy genre. He might even make it big in Drama if he quits being cast in a comedy such as this.Overall, if you're below the age of 18, you might enjoy this movie. Older than that, you might have to find a true honest comedy movie.P.S: The 4 stars is for DJ Qualls.

DJ Qualls and Eliza Dushku make an "interesting" on-screen duo (and later couple) in this all American style comedy that is oriented for a teen audience.Sure, there are many clichés but you can forget about them in order to have a "decent" time.The movie is about a geeky, loser student that gets bullied all the time and could never get any girls. So he changes to another high school and invents himself a new cool, badass, groovy attitude that convinces everyone (except the popular male studs) that he's really cool.With his new attitude, he starts dating -sort of- the hottest cheerleader in school and that's just enough to make him change for bad because now he dismisses his old friends and his personality is now really annoying.Things get really ugly when the popular male students from his new college investigate about his past and discover that he was a terrible loser...Watch the rest and expect interesting things with a message.Eliza Dushku never looked this hot. I mean, her body is just spectacular and is enough reason to watch the movie. She's unbelievable hot believe me, if not, watch the scenes where she's trying on some skimpy, raunchy bikinis.DJ Qualls is really funny this time.Anyways watch this movie if you are in the mood for a predictable but funny teen comedy with some decent spoofs ("Patton" for example).

Skinny geek Dizzy, gets deliberately expelled so that he can reinvent himself at a new school as the coolest kid on the block In their attempts to plumb 'grosser-than-thou' depths, too many American teen comedies forget there's more to movie life than a succession of sick routines. The New Guy gets it partly right, slipping the gags into a proper, if clichéd, story and ensuring that the main characters are sweet, silly and - in that American Pie way - likable. Qualls is skinny geek Dizzy, who gets deliberately expelled so that he can reinvent himself at a new school as the coolest kid on the block. It works because he knows we know he knows it's a scam that's bound to come undone any moment. Throw in some love interest with Eliza Dushku, an eclectic mix of cameos (Vanilla Ice, Lyle Lovett, skateboarder Tony Hawk) and a 'you've just got to be yourself' message, and The New Guy scrapes a passing grade.Overall, Likable characters and a clichéd but meatier-than-usual story for a teen comedy. Definitely Worth A Rent!
