Hagrid R Mar 14, 2019 Owen Wilson puts a funny performance in this movie playing a bodyguard to protect 3 high school freshman from bullies. Owen Wilson works well with these young actors. Alex Frost's performance really caught my eye and he played the bully really well and I really hope to see him as a leading man one day because he steals the show in almost every scene he is in. John Hughes had wrote the story before he passed away and it is an interesting premise for a comedy and if it had been made in the 80's it would be bigger than it is now much like his films The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, and Weird Science.

Abraham S Dec 30, 2018 The following review is by famed critic James Berardinelli and it echoes my sentiments. The "Apatow formula" is pretty simple: raunchy comedy, likeable characters, and a dash of sweetness (but nothing too sweet). Drillbit Taylor fulfills the third characteristic but falls short in the other two. The "raunchy" element is significantly limited by the PG-13 rating. There aren't many laughs and it's tough to feel much for characters who are so artificial. Even the nerdiest nerds couldn't identify with these guys. I'll admit that the romance between Wade and Brooke (Valerie Tian) is cute, but this is the kind of subplot that the term "throwaway" was designed for. There's some satisfaction to be had when the bully gets his comeuppance, but that's because it's always enjoyable to see bad guys get their asses kicked, no matter how uninspired the movie is in which it happens.(Not as good as other of Apatow's films).

Poe S Oct 13, 2018 Exceptionally funny and a pretty decent concept. Comedy a little stale at times, but an alright storyline. 6.5/10

Kylo L Sep 10, 2018 Slightly underrated and unexpectedly humorous. However, nasty fights and crude unwanted humor lacks direction. The charm of Owen Wilson cannot cover the fact that the characters are uneven and unmemorable. See more

Kylo R May 21, 2018 This movie is a fun movie with relatable characters and a great performance by Owen Wilson as a bodyguard homeless person who wants money. If you haven't seen this because of the rotten score they are liars. I highly suggest this movie. See more
