DRILLBIT TAYLOR

Where is it playing?: Sunset Drive-In

Three new high schoolers—played by Nate Hartley, Troy Gentile, and David Dorfman—find themselves on the school bullies’ (Alex Frost and Josh Peck) crap list.

Desperate for protection from the thugs’ merciless abuse, Wade posts an ad on the Internet for a bodyguard. A homeless scam artist, Drillbit Taylor (Owen Wilson), steps in and agrees to solve their problem on the cheap. While his plan is to bleed them for every dime they and their rich parents have, he grows to love the kids—and one of their teachers (a somewhat wasted Leslie Mann).
