Drillbit Taylor - Köyhän miehen henkivartija

The very unoriginal and relatively unfunny screenplay is the main reason why Drillbit Taylor is such a mediocre film. Owen Wilson doesn't have much to work with, and the central child trio is about as likeable as leprosy. Still, there are some good jokes. Not enough for a good movie, unfortunately. (01.06.2008)

Owen Wilson is not a bad actor, actually I quite like him and I'm glad his suicide attempt failed, because Woody Allen could have chosen him for collaboration. However, "You, Me and Dupree" is not a comedy that I found revolutionary. You might laugh sporadically - well, it is a comedy - but it doesn't leave anything deeper in you. I see a slight parallel with the movie "Superbad". The guys need help. In "Superbad" it is about sex, in "You, Me and Dupree" it is about bullying. Not that they want to bully, but they are being bullied. It's always some nerds who get involved in it. Dupree is the one who is supposed to help them. And so, the trio of losers becomes stars. It doesn't work perfectly, but actually that's the point of the story. The comedy didn't bring anything so interesting, even though someone may appreciate Owen Wilson's naked butt. The comedy is not that funny and actually quite tame. In that aspect, someone like Sandler suits me more.
