This past weekend I got the chance to see Owen Wilson’s new movie Drillbit Taylor. For those of you who are fans of the movie Superbad and Knocked Up, you absolutely must see this movie.
The movie is about three high school kids who are beaten and constantly abused by bullies. The three kids are played by Wade (Nate Hartley) who is extremely skinny, Ryan (Troy Gentile) is a fat and kid, with a big mouth, and finally we have Emmit (Alex Frost) who they refer to as the hobbit.
When the three boys finally get fed up with being bullied by asshole upperclassmen, they decide to put their money together to hire a bodyguard. After posting an ad on the Internet, and interviewing numerous candidates, they hire the only person they can afford, Drillbit Taylor (Owen Wilson). Owen Wilson plays a homeless guy living on the beach, who is just looking to make enough money to fly to Canada. The kids buy into his con, as he they start realize that he is unqualified for the job.
It won’t come as a surprise that the three boys will have to learn how to defend themselves, however the movie is filled with plenty of surprises.
While many people will go to see the movie because it stars Owen Wilson, the true stars of the movie are Wade and Ryan played by Nate Hartley and Troy Gentile. The two are just as funny, if not funnier then Seth and Ryan of Superbad. So if your looking for a great comedy go grab some tickets to see Drillbit Taylor and you will surely get your moneys worth.

Nice. I'm hoping this movie is actually funny, because some stuff out there just hasn't been--like the new Will Ferrell Movie (about basketball...I don't know what it's called.."Semi Pro" maybe?) was supposedly awful.
I'm gonna check this one out eventually.
