SYNOPSIS

Starring Oscar-nominated comedy genius Owen Wilson (Zoolander, Wedding Crashers) and produced by the Emmy-award nominated Judd Apatow (Superbad, Knocked-Up) DRILLBIT TAYLOR is the kid-friendly comedy that tells the story of three misfits who decide to take matters into their own hands.

Eager to start their first day of High School, the socially inept Ryan (Troy Gentile, Nacho Libre), Wade (Nate Hartley, The Great Buck Howard) and Emmit (David Dorfman, The Ring) arrive only to find that they stand out for all the wrong reasons. With the hapless trio at the mercy of school bullies, Ryan decides to take matters into his own hands, and hires the group their own private bodyguard, Drillbit Taylor (Wilson).  

Tricking the nerdy threesome into believing he is a highly-trained minder who once looked after Sylvester Stallone, Drillbit sets about toughening them up in his idea of a boot camp before heading to the school to deal with the resident bully. With side-splitting consequences Drillbit gradually reveals that he is not all that he claims to be, especially when he meets the boys’ stunning teacher Lisa (Leslie Mann, Knocked Up) and changes his agenda!

DRILLBIT TAYLOR is a brilliant comedy with hysterical scenarios and crazy antics which will keep the laughter coming from start to finish, with funnyman Owen Wilson delivering another outstanding performance.
