Product Description:

Before they become completely engulfed in Filkins reign of terror they seek out some protection by placing an ad in Soldier of Fortune magazine. Their best response and the cheapest comes from Drillbit Taylor (Owen Wilson) a down-on-his luck soldier of fortune who lives a homeless he likes to say home-free existence on the beach. He enrolls them in some physical and mental training.System Requirements:Running Time: 101 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/SCREWBALL COMEDY Rating: PG-13 UPC: 097363440628 Manufacturer No: 344062

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

Rating:  - BEST COMEDY!!!!
I thought this movie was just going to be another some-what funny movie. Dam, me and my wife laughed so hard, some scenes were basically unexpected! I would say a must have!!!
Rating:  - Straight off the Judd Apatow assembly line - hilarious
Two socially awkward nerds and a tag along embarking on the freshman year of their high school career are inevitable targets for bullying. Ryan and Wade, T-Dog and Skeletor, respectively, are polar opposites in outward appearance. One fat, one skinny, they are the Laurel and Hardy of adolescence. Wearing the same shirt on the first day of school only made it worse.
Insert a homeless hustler named Drillbit Taylor (Wilson) who replies to the kids' online ad for a bodyguard. Seeing ... Read More

If you like Owen Wilson then you will like this movie. He's his usual funny self. We didnt expect it to be very good but were pleased that it turned out to be a funny movie.
Rating: - Owen at his best!
As always, Owen Wilson has created a whole new character in 'Drillbit Taylor.' This movie will keep you rolling in the floor with laughter. Thanks Amazon.com!
Rating:  - Drillbit Taylor
I didn't hate this movie, but anyone giving this movie four stars hasn't had enough exposure to good comedy. I found it mildly amusing, but when it gets right down to it, it wasn't anything to text home about. A homeless man is hired by three kids to keep the bullies off their backs. He proceeds to rob them by pretending to need supplies. This is of course in addition to the money they have paid him. Anyone that thinks this is funny is hurting for jokes. At any rate there are some funny parts like ... Read More
