The party scenes deliver some tawdry kicks. The rest of the film ... is dudsville.

Represents the depths to which the girls-behaving-badly film has fallen.

New Best Friend's Playboy-mansion presentation of college life is laugh-out-loud ludicrous.

Sergio Mims Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

A dull, generic title for a dull, generic film.

Dennis Harvey Variety (Top Critic)

A campus drama-cum-whodunit that's obvious and exploitative even by low-bar youthpic standards.

Instead of trying to bust some blondes, [Diggs] should be probing why a guy with his talent ended up in a movie this bad.

Just consider what New Best Friend does not have, beginning with the minor omission of a screenplay.

Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

A film that loses sight of its own story.

The film could have done so much more -- but it just didn't.

New Best Friend shouldn't have gone straight to video; it should have gone straight to a Mystery Science Theater 3000 video.

Its simplicity puts an exclamation point on the fact that this isn't something to be taken seriously, but it also wrecks any chance of the movie rising above similar fare.

[Less a movie than] an appalling, odoriferous thing... so rotten in almost every single facet of production that you'll want to crawl up your own *** in embarrassment.

Even in terms of the low-grade cheese standards on which it operates, it never quite makes the grade as tawdry trash.

With Zoe Clarke-Williams's lackluster thriller "New Best Friend", who needs enemies? Just another generic drama that has nothing going for it other than its exploitive array of obligatory cheap thrills.

It shows that some studios firmly believe that people have lost the ability to think and will forgive any shoddy product as long as there's a little girl-on-girl action.

The trashy teen-sleaze equivalent of Showgirls.

The story wields through confusingly and often ricochets so unevenly you're downright confused as to what's up and who's where.

Boston Phoenix

This film from Zoe Clarke-Williams is a most predictable regurgitation of teen peer pressure and drug misuse.

Scott Von Doviak Fort Worth Star-Telegram

From beginning to end, this overheated melodrama plays like a student film.

Great trash, one of those mediocre movies that in its own crass way is more enjoyable than most things that get nominated for Oscars.

The movie has very little to offer besides unintentional laughs.
