"New Girl" Review: Totally "Adorkable"
The promos for “New Girl” have been calling it “adorkable.” And in all honesty, I couldn’t think of any better word to describe it myself…
Zooey Deschanel is Jess. She’s adorable, but a total dork. She makes up theme songs for herself, which she can spontaneously burst into at any time. And when she breaks up with her boyfriend, all she wants to do is watch “Dirty Dancing” over and over.
That’s the hot mess the three guys Jess moves in with are forced to deal with. And to stop the constant playing of “Dancing,” they decide to help Jess get back into the dating game. But not surprisingly, they have to help her get past her dorkiness first. And in doing so, they might discover they actually like her…
I hate to keep using the word adorable, but I have no choice. There’s no other word to describe both Deschanel and Jess. The humor is smart and the story is good. When I first read the concept, it sounded pretty lame. But it is far from it. In fact, “Girl” is the best new comedy of the fall…by far.
“New Girl” premieres Tuesday, September 20th at 9 p.m. on FOX…
