The New York TimesDave Kehr
What's oddly appealing about this film is the sweetness that the director, François Velle, manages to extract from Craig Sherman's rather bitter screenplay. Read full review

New Suit is devilishly good fun. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle
An appealing Hollywood satire. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam Arnold
A witty new indie with a good cast and high production values that has fun with the absurdity of the frenzied bidding wars that can break out over a "spec" script by an unknown or first-time screenwriter. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineStaff (Not credited)
Snappy and smart, the film gets surprisingly far on a fairly contrived conceit, proving that there's no energy quite like energy fueled by anger and disgust. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
In not taking itself too seriously New Suit scores more points than some pictures that take a scathing approach. Read full review

Film ThreatPete Vonder Haar
Takes a relatively easy route by bestowing happy endings on the principals, but at least it’s savvy enough to realize that showbiz isn’t all there is to life. Read full review

VarietyDennis Harvey
Another satirical view of the everyday insanity of working within the Industry, slickly made New Suit adds no special insight to the subgenre. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyChuck Wilson
If none of it is particularly original or insightful, it's nonetheless executed with skill and economy. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJonathan Rosenbaum
Though the premise seems obvious and facile, the execution and the delineation of the various characters (all recognizable Hollywood types) are likable and funny, and the cast is great. Read full review

Village VoiceLaura Sinagra
Despite frequent cuts to mambos and cha-chas, this insulated tale of rich interns swindling rich studio bosses has no “Clueless”-style SoCal breeze (or righteous “Working Girl” gotcha). Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
Toothless, unbelievable and not particularly funny, New Suit is no threat to "The Player," "Swimming With Sharks" or "The Big Picture," to name but three more interesting pictures in this inside-baseball genre. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJami Bernard
Satire works when it's sharp and funny. When it's not, you get New Suit, an unremarkable sour-grapes comedy about the obsequious players and inconsequential products of Hollywood. Read full review
