The First thing i have to say is there is basicly constant violence there is so much i really cant even mention it all. There was some sexual content not much tho, nothing really surprising that pushes pg-13 limit (except for eminems A** like that" is played. There is underage drinking. And Drillbit is not a good role model.

What Parents Need to Know
About Drillbit Taylor
Parents need to know that this teen comedy was produced by Judd Apatow -- who directed the "hard R" comedies The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up -- and co-written by Knocked Up star Seth Rogen (who also co-scripted Superbad). With a PG-13 rating and a focus on high school bullies, the adult humor and language are dialed down a few notches here (there are a couple of bare-butt shots of Drillbit showering, as well as words like "s--t" and "bitch") ... and replaced with relentless, violent bullying behavior. The freshmen are constantly threatened, beaten up, chased, and humiliated. For most of the movie, parents and the principal laugh the behavior off. Also expect plenty of product placement and fat jokes aimed at a young teen.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the movie portrays bullies. Do you know bullies like Filkins, or is he just a caricature of a freshman's worst nightmare? What would you do in the boys' situation? Even though the principal's total obliviousness was for laughs, do you think there's some truth to the idea that adults don't take the problem seriously? What other forms does bullying take these days? Is it always physical, or are there other ways bullies can hurt people?

WHAT WERE THE DIRECTORS THINKING????
This movie was terrible!!! What are the writers thinking??? the language was HORRIFFIC, the SC was awful, and the whole movie was related to beating kids up, doing drugs, etc.. the funniest part was when the kids were "Practicing" fighting. DON"T WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!!!

DEAR GOD!!!!
Is this honestly what Owen Wilson has resorted to? He's gone from "Wedding Crashers" to this load of crap? In the incredibly unfunny bomb, he stars as a homeless man who acts as a bodyguard for a group of misfits, but tries to rob them. He-he-he. Here's the upside to the film: I laughed one time. And one time only. Now, brace yourself for the downsides:

One of my favorite movies
i really like this movie. However the fight scene really go over the top at some points espically the last one and the main chracters arent really good role models either. but the movie has a good message in the end.

loved it
i thought that this movie was really funny. it is about 3 nerrdy boys wh do not want to be bothered by bullys any more so they get a body guard. if you have kids younger then 12 i suggest you watch it first but i did not think it was that bad. i think you should watch it.

Lost of Languge
There was a ton of swearing in this movie. also some nudity and drugs. this is not a kids movie at all. Even the plot of the movie is bad, it pretty much tells kids to fight back if they are getting bullied.There is also some blood and one charaters loses there Pinky finger in the end. Adults steal from kids and there families and in the end, end up in jail. not for kids. 14+

very funney!!!! rotfl!
this was a hillarious movie!!! i watched it on the plane the other day. its very violent. a little bit to much for kids younger then 11. it wasnt tht bad sexual wise. there were some parts when the english teacher and drillbit did it. (nothing was shown) bullying is pretty harsh, but this movie is a little unrealistic. but hey it ws funney and a great movie!

I laughed
This is the funniest movie I have seen in a while.There is some iffy content though.The language is not too bad. If you are over 10 you have heard it at school.The movie shows Owen's bare butt but only for a second.The boys go to a health class but nothing other than that.I say pause for 11.

Great movie. PG-13 for a reason
this is a great movie. its funny and silly. but its rated PG-13 for a reason. anyone under 13 is a little to young. there is alot of sexual inuendos but it is very humorous =)
