Drillbit Taylor


Times Watched: 1
Watched With: Nobody @ Home (03/08)
Snacks: Chicken Wings & Green Tea

Oh boy it's the dude with the perpetual broken nose.

Wade (Nate Hartley) and Ryan (Troy Gentile) are a couple of geeks who are just starting high school and are so anxious to put up a goo first impression and be the 'cool dudes' instead of the geeks that always get picked on.
But when they help fellow geek Emmit (David Dorfman) they anger and incur the wrath of school bully Filkins (Alex Frost) and his buddy Ronnie (Josh Peck).

And they keep getting picked on. Everyday.
So they come up with some genius idea to hire a bodyguard to protect them at school and hopefully give Filkins a beating to teach him a lesson.

In steps Drillbit Taylor (Owen Wilson) who is actually nothing more than a bum looking to make a quick buck to make his big escape so he poses as an experienced bodyguard in hopes of making money off the boys and even conning them and stealing stuff from their houses.

So can the boys face their demons with the help of their new 'bodyguard' or will Drillbit Taylor finally decide to do the right thing?

Yeesh.
This is another movie i'm glad i watched at home.
First things first Owen Wilson sucks shit. And this movie was definitely aimed more at the Disney-teen crowd.

And this was another one of those 'real-life based' stories by Seth Rogen & Co (seems like they had a pretty cocked-up teen life)
Think of this as Superbad. But more like super-worse.
At least Superbad has McLovin.
Sure this movie has a few laughs. Keyword = few.

Well so much for that.

Final Verdict:
