Kevin Taylor is a young screenwriter with a dream, but his unfortunate reality is fetching coffee (and hookers) for a washed-up producer and listening to his blowhard colleagues mouth off about scripts they've never read. One day he jokingly mentions a "hot" script that doesn't exist, by a screenwriter that he invented on the spot; his colleagues, unwilling to admit their ignorance, pretend they all know about it. Soon half of Hollywood wants the script, while the other half pretends they've already read it, loved it, optioned and financed it, including Marianne Roxbury, a beautiful and ambitious young agent willing to do almost anything to make a deal. Deftly satirizing Hollywood's knack for embracing only the most hollow ideas, New Suit exposes the naked truth: it's not the package but the packaging that counts. -- © Trillion Entertainment [More]

Economical, slick, entertaining, and only 5 people in my audience? Inexcusable. Go see it.

'New Suit's' satire works well; its characters are engaging, and the film comes across as sweetly amusing.

An acidic satire that transcends its one-joke premise to skewer, with a fair amount of accuracy and great, biting humor, the emptiness of so much contemporary moviemaking.

An enjoyable film that's nonetheless flawed.

Velle ... brings a perceptive outsider's view to the world of contemporary Hollywood that catches all the nuances of hypocrisy.

This sort of thing has been done better ... but it's still pretty entertaining.

Doesn't have much new to say about Hollywood.

There have been plenty of sendups and self-satires about the insanity inside the Hollywood machine, and this one doesn't add enough new curves.

A good-spirited comedy that's a real charmer.

(Craig) Sherman solidly sets a counterpoint to the comedy, by creating a palpable whiff of desperation emanating from everyone concerned

It's funny and has an interesting edge of bitterness to it.

Velle takes a high-concept script from Craig Sherman and makes an enjoyable -- if disappointingly shallow -- coming- of-age story set in Tinseltown.
