83Confidently directed and elegantly designed, this smart drama is sensitive, sympathetic and refreshingly free of glib moralizing.
-
50Great trash, one of those mediocre movies that in its own crass way is more enjoyable than most things that get nominated for Oscars.
-
50Dudsville.
-
40The film isn't even enjoyably sleazy: It's just dumb and tacky.
-
38Preposterous collegiate drama that exists simply to show pretty girls kissing, pretty boys undressing and pretty people of every sexual orientation drinking, doing drugs and otherwise wreaking postadolescent havoc.
-
38Tawdry, trashy yawn-fest that makes the viewer long for the days when bad girls were dangerous dames with sultry style.
-
10A lurid, unsavory mix of Reefer Madness hysteria, drive-in sleaze, and the queasy morality of '80s slasher film.
-
10Clearly the product of an editing-room scramble, New Best Friend is a self-lambasting farce, despite Kirshner's passionate college try at establishing a third dimension in a brain-dead movie flatland.
-
10Struggles awkwardly to bring a twist or two to its hoary class-conscious story line, aiming for a subtlety in character development that's smothered by excessive kitsch and kink.
-
10A preposterous, prurient whodunit.
-
10Obvious and exploitative even by low-bar youthpic standards.

0Calls itself a movie. It has words and pictures like a movie, and will appear in theatres like a movie, and will damn sure charge admission like a movie. But, truth be told, that's pretty much where the resemblance stops.
-
090 minutes of ridiculous, silly fun. Of course, it's still a very bad movie.
-
0This movie could have easily been shot as porn, a transition that would have given it a modicum of respectability and, better still, true social purpose.
-
0Seems to exist solely to prove there is something beneath the bottom of the barrel.
