    • Trivia
      John Hughes' final film as a writer before his death in 2009. As in Beethoven (1992) and Maid in Manhattan (2002), he requested his name be removed (since so much was changed between script and movie), and is credited as Edmond Dantes, title character of The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.
    • Goofs
      When the Tiger Services bodyguard is being interviewed and puts his hand in the cup of coffee from another table, the smoke moves out of the cup and down, although real coffee smoke/steam would just go up.
    • Quotes

      [from trailer]

      Drillbit Taylor: [from trailer] Now in addition to the Chinese Kung Fu we've got a little Mexican Judo, as in 'Judon't know who you messin' with, homz.'

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits show a scene of a kid walking into the nurses office asking for help (similar to what Drillbit did when he got punched). Drillbit appears as the school nurse, who then asks the kid who punched him and promising him it will "never happen again".

    Not so entertaining
    This film is about three boys, who got bullied in high school, recruiting a bodyguard to help them ward off the bullies.

    I was hoping "Drillbit Taylor" is as funny as the previous Owen Wilson films. After watching it, I am disappointed. In the first half, Owen Wilson looks tired, wooden and half hearted all the time. His eyes are constantly red as if he has been crying for hours. It seriously lacked energy and magic, which is unlike the usual on screen Owen Wilson. He looked as if he was depressed. Maybe he was.

    The script is not particularly engaging either, and the jokes are not so funny. Apart from some one liners, I did not find "Drillbit Taylor" funny or entertaining.
