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!!!

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. br / br /Insert a homeless hustler named Drillbit Taylor (Wilson) who replies to the kids' online ad for a bodyguard. Seeing as how Taylor will work for fractions of actual qualified bodyguards, he gets the job. Of course, by work I mean "take the kids' money". And by take their money, I mean "take their money, rob their home, sell their goods, and impersonate a teacher at their school". What ensues is a confrontation between the school bullies and the bum, a knock-down, drag-out struggle for supremacy and high school survival. br / br /It's essentially an update to Can't Buy Me Love, only this version's nerds choose to fight the cliques and bullies rather than spinelessly coalescing into popularity via bribes. Seeing as how it comes from the same crew that created Superbad, the two movies are also easily comparable; although, this movie's three kids are a little more pathetic than McLovin and crew. br / br /With enough laugh out loud moments (especially the self defense scenes) and ridiculous situations (the rap battle had me in stitches) to last from beginning to end, Drillbit Taylor is a solid addition to modern comedy, and a perfect showcase for young comedic talent. Sure, it's a bit crass, but if you enjoyed any of the recent similar comedies (e.g. Old School, Knocked Up, Superbad, Wedding Crashers), you'll end up adding this to your collection.

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.
Owen at his best! August 1, 2008

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!

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 when Drillbit tries to teach them to fight. That and the scene where they practice their moves being tough without Drillbit near the end. br / br /Eventually Drillbit becomes attached to the kids and gets back the stuff his homeless buddies stole from one of the kids parents. The ending is pretty decent. Although most of the family will enjoy this you will definitely be having discussions about right and wrong. The kid's parents taking the word of one of the bullies over theirs is pretty sad and doesn't add anything to the plot in my book. Not to mention I find it way hard to believe out of 5 parents none would believe their kid. Okay there is stretching things for comedy and fiction, and then there is going so far outside reality it goes beyond believable and hence funny or drama. Good quality DVD with limited replayability. If you enjoyed this catch "Ace Ventura", "Meatballs", and "Dumb and Dumber". - C. Luster
