Drillbit Taylor

I could make some completely inappropriate remark about Drillbit Taylor being the reason that Owen Wilson tried to off himself last fall, but I wanted to off myself after seeing the trailer. So I’ve tasted the guy’s pain and it’s not a place I’d like to revisit let alone joke about.

Just kidding.

So Drillbit Taylor is about a wackadoo bodyguard ex-military type who’s hired by some fat and/or geeky high school students to make some bullies stop picking on them. It looks like a more likable version of Bad Santa—not in the sense that you’ll like it more than Bad Santa, just that Wilson’s character is for some reason more likable than Billy Bob Thornton’s was. So Wilson teaches the kids how to protect themselves and while doing some undercover work at their school, Wilson meets a teacher/love interest. It’s all very nice. It really is.

Again, just kidding.
