The first act of Drillbit Taylor is not so much disjointed as it is unoriginal.
The first 30 pages or so of the movie are shamefully constructed in paint-by-numbers fashion.

On the opposite end, Drillbit Taylor also manages to get the most laughs the more mean-spirited it is.
While Drillbit Taylor doesn't necessarily deserve to be in such company as PCU or Stuck on You , its undeniable lack of originality forces the hand of basic cable prosecution.

Fact is, a movie like Drillbit Taylor is out of surprises from the very beginning.

With a string of funny movies under their belts, they're undoubtedly on fire....Whatever the reason, Drillbit Taylor quickly loses what little momentum it establishes in those opening minutes, wilting under the glow of movies like Bottle Rocket , School of Rock....Owen Wilson is a funny, charismatic actor, but the main reason I find myself drawn to his films is....It's a great line, delivered perfectly by Wilson, and along with the cute introductions of the characters, it gave me a false confidence.... ...

Drillbit Taylor is not horrible by any means.....Gentile, Hartley and Dorfman do a great job of being funny, nerdy and cheer-them-on-underdog worthy.....It's not laugh out loud fantastic.....It does reveal a couple of good actors, though..... ... Full Review
