Zooey Deschanel has made a career for herself by being the “dream” girl to main characters in films like Days of Summer, Elf, Gigantic, etc. But in her new sitcom New Girl, the opposite is true, yet her trademark quirkiness and lovability are still intact.
Most people’s enjoyment of New Girl will depend how much they can stand of the twee, awkward Deschanel in her role as Jessica Day. Day has recently found her boyfriend cheating on her, and since everyone she lives with and interacts with is a model, she decides to move into an apartment with three guys. While this may seem like most guys’ dream, Day spends most of the day crying on the couch watching Dirty Dancing seven or eight times in a row and creating jingles for herself. They realize that model parties happening at their house is seeming less and less like an actual possibility.
After a week, the three guys decide they can’t take it anymore. Her roommates include Nick (Jake M. Johnson), a bartender still hung up on his ex from six months ago, Schmidt (Max Greenfield), for whom the other roommates have created a “douchebag jar”, which he must give a dollar to every time he says something douchey (it happens a lot), and Coach (Damon Wayans Jr.), who as his name suggests in a personal coach.
