Apatow & Co. hammer out flimsy comedy in "Drillbit" (Reuters)
Published 3/20/2008 at Yahoo! News: Movie News
Reuters - "Drillbit Taylor," the
latest comedy from the Judd Apatow laugh factory, is a
relatively lame exercise that never achieves comic traction.
Revolving around a trio of uber-geeks and a high school bully,
the movie unfolds in fits and starts, never sure what the joke
is.
