Drillbit Taylor
\nParamount Home Entertainmeny
\nBlu-ray Disc Review By Jerry Rutledge<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this comedy, Drillbit Taylor (Owen Wilson) is a beach bum \/ AWOL ex-marine hired by three nerdy high school kids \u2013 skinny Wade (Nate Hartley) fat Ryan (Troy Gentile) and little Emmit (Brad Dorfman) \u2013 for protection from borderline psycho school bullies (Alex Frost and Josh Peck).\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

At first, Drillbit intends to con the kids for more money.\u00a0 However, the movie has a heart.\u00a0 Drillbit, mistaken for a substitute teacher, infiltrates the high school and romances its most eligible teacher (Leslie Mann).\u00a0 He does this while also managing to teach the kids to defend themselves and dishing out some punishment against the bullies.\u00a0 This movie delivers plenty of smiles and a few good laughs and is well worth the price of a rental.<\/p>\n

The Blu-ray Disc\u2122 is an extended version of the theatrical release of the film with more content added.\u00a0 Extras include picture commentary, an interview with the writers, deleted and extended scenes, a one-liner and gag real, a clip on directing kid actors, a clip by the school bullies, a clip by one of the other beach bums in the film (played by Danny McBride) and segments focusing on two set pieces in the film \u2013 a comic rap off and a water sprinkler disaster.<\/p>\n
