DVD Reviews of Drillbit Taylor (Unrated Extended Survival Edition)
DVD Review: Will make a nice drink coaster. Put it with your AOL Disks ...
Summary: 1 Stars
Drillbit Taylor is like someone's idea of taking some of the worst Saturday Night Live skits that were rejected by Lorne Michaels and thrown into a screenplay and filmed on location with a substantial budget. Owen Wilson's face plastered on the cover is the obvious hook of this nightmare, but even he can't save it from itself or protect it from its own mediocrity. The movie is destined to be very quickly forgotten.
Hollywood must be really desperate for new and well-written material if the financial backers of films like this, believe for a moment that any of this was entertaining, comedic or in anyway interesting. Even the youtube generation of viewers didn't care for this nasty waste of time either. Drillbit Taylor is even devoid of a redeeming social message, which the other reviews have all touched on quite intensely.
But for the record, Drillbit Taylor is another poorly written, poorly conceived idea from the mind that brought you Superbad, a different movie that, sold and grossed reasonably well and re-couped their production budget which most-likely put the green-light on this.
Both of these movies don't really tell stories as much as they just play on the stereotypes within the genre. It's like taking some of the basics from a large pool of film classics, like Sixteen Candles, Better Off Dead, Pretty in Pink, Hiding Out, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and trying desperately to patch-work random pieces, random lines, and different ideas from all of them and then trying to call it your own. None of it works, most of it looks really uncomfortable and people are probably just out of frame holding a light, a boom or a make-up bag thinking: Hollywood may have just jumped the shark with this.
There's currently a lot of thought and concern floating around Los Angeles lately regarding the amount of garbage that studios are pushing from the Independent Film/Movie world into the mainstream, by over-hyping, over-marketing and struggling to get A-listers like Owen Wilson into and out on to DVD -- believing that they'll make a killing, and pick up an Oscar nom in the process. If there really is a drought of good film and good writing right now, and we've slipped back into an era of forgettable movie making for the next five years, then at least consider this before you shell out the twenty bucks for the DVD as you'll probably just shed it from your collection later, when movies go back to being films.
Pick up one of the films I've mentioned above if you haven't seen any/some of them -- first. You'll be happier that you did, as all of them are real classics and good examples of the genre. Hiding Out is a true masterpiece that deals with High School, properly.
