Best movie of this year hands down!

I love this movie so much

Too much of everything

The acting in this movie is really good.

Based on a story by Edmund Dantes (John Hughes of 'Breakfast Club' fame) this is a decent enough film starring the always entertaining Owen Wilson.The premise is fun, it allows Wilson to play to his strengths, and the young cast all bring something great to their roles.My problem with the film is that it doesn't seem to know whether it is aimed at a kid/adult market. The fact that Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen are involved leads you in one direction, and then the jokes lead you in another.It's an average but fine film.

A very unfunny comedy starring Owen Wilson as a bum who is hired by a trio of high school nerds to protect them from the school bully. Along the way, Wilson teaches them a series of life lessons. It all ends with a battle royal with the bully and his buddies, and as such is similar to several other teen-oriented flicks from an earlier era, like MY BODYGUARD, WEIRD SCIENCE and THREE O'CLOCK HIGH. Wilson is just plain terrible, and the three child actors playing the nerds aren't very convincing. Some violence and sexual situations save it from total ruin, but again this is just a rehash of other teen-oriented movies, everyone of them better than this.

I never would have thought that I'd see director Steven Brill bring us a John Hughes type comedy in the sense that it is a fun movie with a good message. Then I found out that this movie was produced by Judd Apatow and two of the screenwriters were Seth Rogen and the late John Hughes.Owen Wilson stars in the title role. Drillbit Taylor is a low budget bodyguard who is hired by three high school freshman to protect them against a high school senior bully. Wilson does a good job at making this character funny, one we can laugh at, and one that we as an audience can relate to.Brill shows some potential to be a John Hughes type director with this movie. He puts out a good message in believing in yourself. It is worth a watch if you are a fan of Owen Wilson or any of the Frat Pack comedies.

Drillbit Taylor was a movie I had no expectations for coming in, not because I'm not Owen Wilson's biggest fan, it's just the movie didn't appeal to me that too much, but I was pleasantly surprised. I laughed quite a bit whenever Owen would try to impress the kids with his tactics, but ultimately ended up failing. It also helps that most of the kids were likable as i'm very picky on kid actors. Owen Wilson was actually pretty likable in this one, he can be a talented comedian but he overdoes it sometimes.Bottom line. This is just a nice enjoyable movie to sit down and watch to pass the time. It was much better then I thought it was gonna be, and that's really all I could ask for. Recommended7/10
