Drillbit Taylor is a very funny movie with a lot of one-liners that will make you laugh your ass off, but has some slow spots that give you time to wonder when the next laugh is coming. Owen Wilson once again shows he can carry a semi-good movie without cameos from other big name stars.

Drill Bit Taylor get a 3.3 out of 5.

If you need a good funny date movie then see it on the big screen. This is definitely a must own dvd.
