Drillbit Taylor

Owen Wilson is a homeless bodyguard in the teen comedy Drillbit Taylor. Three high-school losers are consistently and relentlessly picked on by local bullies, so they decide to hire a low-pay bodyguard. His name is Drillbit Taylor and he’s actually a homeless man posing as a marine, and there’s your plot. The thought of bullies is kind of outdated, and many moral choices made here are just really stupid. It’s really kind of a disappointment, and Owen Wilson doesn’t ever seem like he enjoys the material.

Some moments though, show what it could have been, such as the end fight scene and a face-off with a bully and his future prey that brought down the house…Unfortunately, the plot and pacing were just too amateur and inconsistent to really get into it… C
