Product Description

Like Owen Wilson himself, Drillbit Taylor has a loose, shaggy-dog appeal. Wilson plays a homeless ex-soldier who wants to emigrate illegally to Canada--and when three misfit high-school students hire him to protect them from bullies, he sets out to fleece them for the money he needs to get away. Naturally, this being a formulaic crowd-pleaser, he bonds with the kids and discovers that maybe his life isn't so worthless after all. Fortunately for moviegoers, the creators of Drillbit Taylor (including co-writer Seth Rogen, star of Knocked Up) have the wit to tweak the formula and give what could have been prefabricated and bland some grit, surprises, and genuine laughs (as well as an allusion to this movie's obvious inspiration, the 1980 teen-movie classic My Bodyguard). While nowhere near as funny (or as rude) as Rogen's previous co-writing effort, the dorkily sublime Superbad, Drillbit Taylor benefits from a similar grasp of the genuine cravings and frustrations of adolescence. Still, it's Wilson's movie, and his slacker-romantic rhythm gives the hmor its swing. Also featuring Leslie Mann (The 40-Year-Old Virgin), who is woefully underutilized as Wilson's love interest. One sneaky bit of casting: The main bully is played by Alex Frost, who played an unhappy teen driven to shoot up his school in director Gus Van Sant's Elephant. --Bret Fetzer

 Drillbit Taylor February 9, 2009
Marilyn Ann Sabanjo
I bought this moviefor my 12 year old grandson. He enjoyed it and
told me it reminded him of some kids in middle school.
 Very Funny!!! December 30, 2008

It has been 8 months since I saw this at the theatre, and I bought it last night. I'm glad I did because I forgot a few things. Owen Wilson is very funny as Drillbit Taylor. He's a bum who is hired by three freshman in high school who are being bullied every day at school. At first, Drillbit takes advantage of them and takes their stuff, but later he finally decides to help. If you love the comedy of Owen Wilson, I highly recommend DRILLBIT TAYLOR!!!

I thought this movie would be hilarious because of Seth Rogen's involvement with writing the story but I was wrong. Owen Wilson is okay and you rarely get laughs from the teenage kids. Pretty much a Flop!

I have no idea why... October 22, 2008
Candy (Austin, TX)
I don't know why I liked this movie. It was stupid, but stupid in a campy funny way. Rent it - save it for the $1 rental, but give it a try... great for a lazy afternoon when you just need a laugh or few.
