Drillbit Taylor (2008) [PG-13]-- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $9.00
Review-lite: With respect to the Apatow fan club, there comes a time when all great things come to an end or become saturated. This latest film, Drillbit Taylor, directed by Steven Brill, represents just that point. Set in a random California, high school, the story surrounds two best friends: one a nerd Wade (Nate Hartley) and his pudgy side kick Ryan (Troy Gentile) as they start out at the bottom of the pecking order. Does this sort of sound familiar to Superbad fans? After attracting the attention of school bully, Filkins (Alex Frost), they acquire a bodyguard. Enter Drillbit Taylor (Owen Wilson). Posing as a substitute teacher, he infiltrates the school setting in motion a series of predictable events: the boys discover their inner strength, another teacher falls for him thinking he's all that he's not, two bullies are brought to justice, and Drillbit, of course, learns that he is not quite a scoundrel. The film has a few comedic moments and some cathartic ones as well but none that made the story worthy of a major motion picture treatment. (click for full details and complete review)
