I really enjoyed this film. I wasn't expecting a lot but I was surprised through out. Owen Wilson is as good as ever (better than Me, You and Dupree) but the real screen stealer here was Troy Gentile. It's worth a watch, you'll be surprised.

MCT:September 25, 2008Hurray, I have found my worst film of the year. It mixes my most hated actor with a super retarded story that anyone can pen. The acting is the only thing worth giving credit to. Everyone is just so hatable ... except Leslie Mann. I wonder if Drillbit Taylor is the story of Owen's life. A burn-out doing a random flick to raise his popularity.

Good movie...
'Drilbit Taylor' is a teen movie that revolves around three highschool students being bullied and in order to protect themselves they plan to hire a bodyguard. The film has its own charm and is quite likable thanks mostly to Wilson's chemistry with the three teens. Another thing I liked about this movie is that it wasn't overloaded with sex and crudeness which seems to be a forced compulsory requirement of every teen movie these days (a recent example being the awful 'Superbad'). The teen actors, Nate Hartley and Troy Gentile are very good. Hartley particularly gives a natural performance. Owen Wilson uses his superb comic timing and does nothing short of great. What I didn't like about 'Drilbit Taylor' is that it tends to go unnecessarily over the top with some sequences and the fight scene in the end is a little too violent. The bullying scenes were meant to be funny (at least that's the impression I got given the background score and the way it was executed) but with me they had the opposite effect and I wonder how kids who are actually bullied would feel after watching such scenes being used as comic relief. However on the other hand, it might be uplifting to them as the point of the movie was to stand up for oneself and his friends. Anyway, 'Drilbit Taylor' is fun entertainment. Not the best of its kind but still good enough. -

Steven Brill just needs to stick with making money off of Mighty Ducks 1 and 2, period. Not a terrible, has a few laughs, but Owen Wilson cannot carry a movie, he's a sidekick actor.

There are really funny moments in this movie but they're way too far between to recommend it. If you like Owen Wilson you'll get a kick out of this movie. He's 100% convincing as a a smooth talking homeless guy. The kids are well-cast but overall, just so-so. The cameos are a kick if you're nerdy enough to recognize them. Best one liner: Drillbitwas discharged from the military because of "unauthorized heroism." Love it!

Buena comedia, Owen Wilson definitivamente se identifica con Drillbit Taylor como el típico homeless que como caído del cielo encuentra un trabajo divertido junto a tres nerdies ( muy cutes) que intentan defenderse de los bullies y sobrevivir en el high school.

MCT:September 11, 2008a poor owen wilson film, lazy performance, and a film that wants to be school of rock mixed in with superbad, failing on both counts very badly

Its enjoyable. Not great, but decent. Plot is very predicatable. However it was exciting to watch Owen Wilson.

MCT:September 5, 2008Total Hollywood ASS
This had quite possibly the shittiest, most cliche script I have ever seen....and guess what's sidled up right next to that? A fucking horrendous job of camera work...this was the most vanilla cinematography EVER CONCEIVED. THE FUCKING CAMERA NEVER MOVED...who the fuck do you think you are, Steven Brill??@? FUCKING JOHN FORD?!?! FUUUUUUCK
Shit balls. -

Simple and entertaining, suitable for weekend family movie.
If you have no idea which movies to fill your free time, Drillbit would be a good choice. -
MCT:September 3, 2008Annoying characters + lame and unfunny script = This
This should have no connections at all to an Apatow production. -

Not nearly as funny as I'd thought it'd be from the trailers. Actually, not very funny at all. Better than Semi-Pro, but still not really worth the waste of time or money. The first hour and a half run very slow with the occasional laugh and the last half hour was pretty good, but even though it a 'good' ending bit doesn't mean the entire movie is. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one, you won't be missing much.

MCT:September 1, 2008Drillbit Taylor was such an awesome movie. It was extremely funny. I pretty much laughed throughout the whole movie. The three kids in this movie made everyone laugh in the theatre. Then having Owen Wilson team up with the kids that just makes the movie all the better. The acting in this was pretty good especially out of the kids. At first going to see this I thought the acting would be just okay. Instead it was really good though. The messages in this were pretty good. The movie was trying to state a point to you that if you tell the truth no matter what it is, you will get farther in life. Owen Wilson in this movie just kept lying to everyone especially the kids. At first you dislike Owen Wilsons character. Then he gets to know the kids and they teach him a lot about life. This was a great teen comedy movie in my opinion. I liked the idea of having Owen Wilson play a homeless man at first trying to make money. The thing that was bad about him though is that he did mean things for the money. This was also a pretty cute movie. The reason it was a little cute was because one of the kids liked a girl in his high school. Most of the time that always helps in a movie. I thought that this movie was well worth your money to see it. Another good thing about this movie was the idea of having such a mean bully picking on the kids. I thought Owen Wilsons character made a great bodyguard for this movie. Overall Drillbit Taylor was very funny and a great movie to see for teenagers especially.

a low-budget bodyguard and maybe a low-budget film..
the story line is dragging and the cast are all messed up. the three doesn't look that geeky and the bully..come on the guy looks feminish, he's too clean and doesn't look tough
makes me sleepy all the way.. -
MCT:August 28, 2008
This movie had me laughing all the the time! I just LOVED the short chubby kid...Troy Gentile!! The looks he made...OMG ilmao! And such witty lines!!
Owen Wilson played the part well, but it was all about these 3 kids..they ruled this movie! Great talent!! -
MCT:August 27, 2008
This pleasant comedy was an enjoyable surprise. It focuses on two juvenile leads, but Owen Wilson gets significant screen time with his significant charm and humor. Lots of good laughs but not too over-the-top for today's comedies

I loved the bully guy! He was funny =P

What a horrible thing to say about anyone, but especially when you don't even know the guy. These are supposed to be comments about the movie. Do you have one?
