At first glance: "Drillbit Taylor"

It's OK to judge a movie by its trailer. Or rather, most movie goers do, which makes it perfectly acceptable in our book. Here's the latest analysis ...

The movie: "Drillbit Taylor"

In theaters: Friday

The plot: Three friends hire a bodyguard (Owen Wilson) to protect them from the school bully.

The trailer: Kids skip the hip-hop bodyguard, Israeli secret service guy and man who burns his hand in coffee (was that necessary?) to choose Drillbit Taylor, a guy who claims he protected three vice presidents, Bobby Brown and Sylvester Stallone; Aww - the little guys are picked on a lot; Drillbit pretends to be a teacher (Owen looks mighty nice in a suit!); The little guy's a big wimp; Drillbit's homeless pals infiltrate the teacher's lounge; Owen's nose is broken again; The little guys get their groove on; The big kid starts sleeping naked; Uh-oh! Judd Apatow's wife likes Drillbit!

Looks funny to me. Definitely worth a theater trip.
