The New Guy (2002)

Meet Dizzy Harrison, a high school outcast enduring a nightmarish senior year. Faced with relentless bullying, Dizzy decides to reinvent himself, a process that starts with a deliberate expulsion from his high school. Seeking guidance on the art of cool from an unlikely mentor, a seasoned prison inmate, he reemerges with a fresh persona. Under the pseudonym Gil Harris, he joins a new high school, introducing himself to a whole new realm of social challenges and opportunities. With his newfound charm, he quickly earns the respect of both jocks and geeks, bridging the gap between the school's disparate cliques. Dizzy, now Gil, catches the attention of the head cheerleader, Danielle, and uses his influence to bolster the school football team's morale, leading them to unprecedented victories. However, the winds of his newfound popularity begin to stir up trouble when Danielle's bitter ex-boyfriend grows suspicious of Gil's squeaky-clean past. As he digs into the enigma that is "Gil Harris," Dizzy's house of cards threatens to crumble, leading to a thrilling rollercoaster of high school drama, deceit, and discovery.
