Review of Drillbit Taylor (2008) by Xou X — 05 Jul 2009

Owens way of hey I'm back and still no fire.

Owen Wilson plays as Bob taylor who calls himself Drillbit Taylor. He's a homeless guy who bumbs into 2 high school kids who want his guidance and protection because he cliams he's a martial arts expert. Little did they know hes just homeless beggar whos doing it for the money so he can move to Canada.

Owen Wilson does a great job at being trashy, dirty, and a beggar. Is that a good thing? Troy Gentile and Nate Hartley who play the kids are often funny throughout the film and remians a positive. Alex Frost is a young rising star and everybody else are comedian machines engineered by Judd Apatow. A perfectly casted film however the weak script knocks them down a few steps.

Drillbit Taylor is your average comedy that relies on rude coomedy. Im used to it and somewhat enjoy it. But not in this one. It fails to keep laughs simultaneously and spends to much time on brutalities then it does anything else. Its Owen's worst work since "Around the world in 80 days". Its not as funny as "Wedding Crashers" nor has the hype of "You, me, and Dupree". It does have a few cheap laughs but it ends not knowing how it got it. A trashy comedy like Owens character. It has no orginalty, no laugh out load moments, no escapes, and no cheap strikes to get us aroused. Recycle then and recycle now. Drillbit Taylor shouldve been Shitbit Taylor.
