The family and I surrendered to the snow and cold, which meant that we attended a couple of movies.  We were just too weary of the weather to do anything else.  We'd seen advertisements for "Drillbit Taylor" and we collectively agreed that it would be something for young and old to enjoy.

Wrong -- and I'm not too proud to admit it.

Don't have any pithy Shakespearan quotes, either, because the Bard doesn't have any that specifically refer to train wrecks. 

In short, the film depicts horrific juvenile violence and bullying, and in truly poor taste, its main character, "Drillbit" and a female high school teacher use a classroom for sexual encounters.  The principal of the high school is a deluded doofus who defends the menacing bullies in front of the parents and their mortified children; a stepfather not only throws things and yells at his stepson, but defends his own high school bullying behaviors; and despite repeated fights, none of the high-school student-onlookers step forward to help any of the victims.  Chilling.

The film is guilty on all counts:  It's humorless, the characters are underwritten yet too real to be cartoonish (which would make it a more lighthearted farce), and its twisted attempt at a "Robin Hood" theme; that is, rob from the rich to finance the plight of the noble-but-flawed poor lacks wit, polish and depth.    

I'm sorry to say that the film reminds me of a movie and its sequels that were popular when I was in high school.  Which I won't name because that would only re-publicize the franchise, and possibly cause somebody to actually rent it. 

Regarding "Drillbit," all I can say is, "Yuk."
