![]() Tagline: You get what you pay for.
After being harrased by a school bully, two teenagers hire a former soldier of fortune (Wilson) as a bodyguard, only to find out that he has his own agenda.
Ryan (Troy Gentile), Wade (Nate Hartley) and Emmit (David Dorfman) attend their first day at high school and they're pumped...until they meet up with Filkins (Alex Frost), a school bully who comes off like a little Hannibal Lecter.
Before they become completely engulfed in Filkins' reign of terror, they seek out some protection by placing an ad in Soldier of Fortune magazine. Their best response -- and the cheapest -- comes from Drillbit Taylor (Owen Wilson), a down-on-his luck soldier of fortune who lives a homeless -- he likes to say "home-free" -- existence on the beach. He enrolls them in some physical and mental training.
The unstoppable, perversely evil high school bully. For years, he has been a staple in film comedies – the iconic obstacle standing between childhood innocence and the start of adult life. Now, the larger-than-life bully is back and terrorizing a trio of outcasts who will go to hilarious new extremes to save their hides and restore their right to be just a little odd without being pummeled, teased, tormented or stuffed into lockers.
