The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
If physical appearance creates its own class system (in high school and beyond), then Qualls is perfect for this proselytizing role. He has that rarest of movie-star faces -- one that over comes the tyranny of beauty.

Entertainment Weekly -
A Jekyll-and-Hyde teen comedy that sounds like a Pauly Shore reject, but Qualls moves his marionette body around with a true clown's effervescence, and he does rubber-faced parodies of youth cool that are just what youth cool deserves.

The A.V. Club -
A comedy just funny enough to make viewers wish it were far funnier.

Chicago Reader -
It isn't very good, but it doesn’t seem to care, which turns out to be rather refreshing.

Chicago Tribune -
You have to have faith that kids will recognize a bad movie when it's foisted on them -- and they don't get much worse than The New Guy.
