Drillbit Taylor (2008)

Navigating the treacherous waters of high school, newbies Wade, Ryan 'T-Dog', and Jim find themselves in an escalating battle with the school's notorious bully, Filkins. As these three underdogs are tossed about in the storm of adolescent torment, their resolve hardens, and they hatch a plan to reclaim their peace. The comrades band together, pooling their limited resources to hire a bodyguard, their last bastion of hope against the relentless bullying. Enter Bob 'Drillbit' Taylor, a vagabond veteran whose dreams are as expansive as the Alaskan wilderness he yearns to explore. Seemingly the answer to their prayers, Drillbit, with his affordable rates and larger-than-life persona, is an irresistible proposition for the desperate trio. They welcome this savior into their lives, oblivious to the fact that their newfound guardian is as clueless about protection as they are. As Drillbit drains their pocket money and pilfers their homes under the guise of self-defense classes, he finds himself unwittingly drawn into their plight. This eclectic alliance of the bullied and their bogus bodyguard sets the stage for a cavalcade of comedic misadventures, testing the bounds of friendship, courage, and authenticity. In the world of 'Drillbit Taylor', nothing is as it seems. Can a homeless con artist truly defend these young souls from the claws of the high school beast? Is Drillbit up to the task, or will his charade shatter, leaving the boys to face their tormentor alone? This riotous journey of survival in the jungle of adolescence is a testament to the power of friendship and the unpredictability of heroes.
