A failing-grade comedy about the wishful triumph of high school dorks over high school bullies.

Rare is the star vehicle that is as poorly matched to its star as Drillbit Taylor, which casts Owen Wilson as a homeless Army deserter and con man, able to fool people into believing he's both a substitute teacher and a master of hand-to-hand combat.

Much to my dismay this is not an unauthorized sequel to Abel Ferrara's 1979 East Village art-world freakout Driller Killer. This is instead a dispiritingly mediocre tweener comedy from some very talented people who appear to be experiencing a delayed sophomore slump.
