Drillbit Taylor (2008)
Starring: Owen Wilson - 'Drillbit' Taylor
Nate Hartley - Wade
Troy Gentile - Ryan
David Dorfman - Emmit
Alex Frost - Filkins
Josh Peck - Ronnie
Leslie Mann - Lisa

Synopsis:
Three kids hire a low-budget bodyguard to protect them from the playground bully.


Review: A very underrated Apatow produced movie. Possibly because it fell between the cracks because of other Apatow features Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Step Brothers & Pineapple Express. However it is not quite on par with those films. Much like other movies of the genre has several cameo appearances from a large variety of comedians. This film includes Danny McBride, David Koechner, Matt Walsh, Lisa Lampanelli, Cedric Yarbrough, Stephen Root, Adam Baldwin, Chuck Liddell, Matt Besser, Kevin Hart & Frank Whaley to name uhh well a lot. There are a lot of PG laughs, mostly because of the three young stars in lead roles.  However Owen Wilson plays himself (like he does in every movie he stars in) so if you love Owen Wilson, this movie is for you.

S.P.R.: B/44
Acting: 8/10
Plot: 9/10
Cinematography: 8/10
Intrigue: 9/10
Extra: 10/10
