Drillbit Taylor

2008 · 110 min

A goofy, good-natured teen comedy that coasts on charm and slapstick, easy to watch but never quite as funny as it wants to be.

Tagline: You get what you pay for.
Overview: Dealing with a sociopathic school bully, three high school freshmen hire a low-budget bodyguard to protect them, not realizing he is just a homeless beggar and petty thief looking for some easy cash.
How it feels: Light, absurd, warm and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Friendship, coming-of-age, identity, class
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
