Thanks for checkout out our Drillbit Taylor review. Let me say this right up front. Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow ought to be ASHAMED of themselves for this pathetic, boring, laughless and shameless Superbad carbon copy movie they’ve put out. Shame on them. My respect level for each of them has taken a serious hit. Now back to the review.
This film was produced BEFORE the infamous Owen Wilson suicide attempt, and obviously the studio thought it wise that they hold off on the release of the film for a while. Good move. What would have been an even better move is if they decided to scrap the film altogether. Let me be clear… this movie sucks. It’s horrible.
THE GENERAL IDEA
3 freshmen high school student (who are exact carbon copies of McLovin, Jonah Hill and Michael Cera) enter high school only to be confronted by the brutal world of bullies who like to pick on new kids. They endure several humiliations and then decide they should look to hire a body guard. Through a lucky (or unlucky) circumstance they come across a homeless man (Owen Wilson) who poses as an elite bodyguard to the stars just so he can have a paying gig. Drillbit pretends to be a high school subsitute teacher so he can keep a close eye on the kids and hillarity ensues right? Right?!?!?! Ummm… no.
THE GOOD
There was one joke at the end of the film where Wilson catches a flying sword. That made me giggle. It was the only time I giggled the entire run time of this ass awful movie.
Leslie Mann is hot, and she has great comedic timing so she’s always fun to see… sadly she had nothing to work with in this crap.
THE BAD
First of all… it’s not funny in the least. You can get away with almost any failure in a comedy movie as long as you still make people laugh. This movie was pathetically unfunny.
As I said in the opening, Seth Rogen should be totally ashamed of himself for writing this garbage… but not just because it’s so bad. The three kid characters are EXACT CARBON COPIES OF THE SUPERBAD GUYS… just in grade 9. You have your Jonah Hill character (the shorter, fat, curly dark haired more eccentric guy). You have your Michael Cera character (the taller, more level headed yet still geeky one). And you have your McLovin character (shorter, extra nerdy… the Cera Charcter thinks he’s fine but the Hill character thinks he’s too nerdy even for them to hang out with but then warms up to him at the end). I was totally repulsed by this. I even remember thinking a few minutes into the film “Wow… all they need now is a McLovin character”, and just a few minutes later… BAM!!!! He shows up! Sad sad sad.
Everything was bad.
OVERALL
I just can’t think of anything redeemable to say about this pathetic, self-plagarized piece of cinematic refuse. I hated this movie. Overall I give Drillbit Taylor a 1 out of 10. It’s just that bad.
