Storyline Edit. Homeless veteran Bob 'Drillbit' Taylor manages to enjoy life anyhow and even saves some cash for his dream, an 'all-paid' move to Alaska, even if that may take many years. His dream comes within reach when clever nerd Wade, has fat friend Ryan 'T-dog' and cocky shrimp Jim, all new to high-school, are bullied so badly by emancipated Filkins and his buddies that they advertise for a bodyguard.
Only Drillbit seems affordable and not crazy, so he's hired and drains their pocket-money and home content.
He's clueless how to protect them but gives them bogus self-defense classes. You get what you pay for. Rated PG for crude sexual references throughout, strong bullying, language, drug references and partial nudity.
Did you know Edit. Trivia This is the first time Seth Rogen has collaborated with someone other than Evan Goldberg , his regular writing partner, on a screenplay. Goofs Fire sprinklers operate independently and it requires heat to activate a fire sprinkler and only the sprinkler closest to the fire goes off not the entire school. Quotes [from trailer] Drillbit Taylor : [from trailer] Now in addition to the Chinese Kung Fu we've got a little Mexican Judo, as in 'Judon't know who you messin' with, homz.
Crazy credits The end credits show a scene of a kid walking into the nurses office asking for help similar to what Drillbit did when he got punched. Drillbit appears as the school nurse, who then asks the kid who punched him and promising him it will "never happen again".
User reviews Review. Top review. Owen Wilson: Army of One. It's been a while since I wrote one of these but thanks mainly to Owen Wilson for another hilarious yes and interchangeable role, this movie was funny enough to get motivated once again.
The premise is obviously pretty simple and has been done before in both bodyguard and teen movies Superbad and My Bodyguard come to mind The beauty of this movie it combines the two genres with Owen Wilson's natural comedic talent and three capable younger actors resulting in a mostly funny comedy that is unique from the rest.
There was an interesting metaphor contained in one of the trailers showing Drillbit telling the kids he's taking them under his wing. The reason I say this is interesting is because this is how it mostly worked for the movie's humor. It took almost 15 minutes for it to really get started. Don't get me wrong, there were some funny parts that didn't involve him like the bodyguard interviews gotta love Frank Whaley's cameo , Ryan's rap off with the bully and the two hitting each other but the biggest laughs for me were from Owen Wilson.
To be fair though, Owen was at his best when the kids were involved. I loved the way he approached this "job" with one part seriousness, one part B.
I was dying when he was holding up that kid's burning popsicle stick project up to the sprinklers and just the general training conversations just to illustrate that recipe. Overall, this storyline was nothing brilliant but as in You Me and Dupree, Owen Wilson manages to take something that could be rather mediocre turning it into an enjoyable and endearing comedy. True, he really didn't do it by himself as I'd try to make you believe. Pesquisar por:. Bean Mr. Pickles Mr. Robot Mr. Manage consent.
