In the new Judd Apatow-produced comedy “Drillbit Taylor”, Owen Wilson stops trying to kill himself (er, I mean, stops having medicinal “acicdents”) long enough to star as some guy who hires himself out as a bodyguard to a bunch of kids who are being bullied at school. He claims to be a badass ex-army dude, but of course, we know it’s false, since, well, if he was it wouldn’t be much of a comedy, would it? In any case, during the course of the film, Owen Wilson’s character, Drillbit Taylor, falls for Lisa, an English teacher played by the gorgeous Leslie Mann. The movie actually looks funny, and Leslie Mann is just icing on the cake. Seriously, it’s about time someone gave her a leading lady role instead of the “bitchy best friend” ala “Knocked Up”.
