![]() There is something funny about a foul-mouthed little kid. Mintz-Plasse is touching as the LARP nerd. Seann William Scott is doing his usual womanizing slacker. Paul Rudd is a great grump and gets in some good rants. Gayle Sweeny (Jane Lynch) runs the program. Beth gets them community service and they become big brothers to Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) who's obsessed with Live-Action-Interactive-Role playing-Explorers (basically LARP) and foul-mouthed Ronnie (Bobb'e J. Danny gets into a fight with a tow truck driver causing damage to the school. In desperation, he asks her to marry him. Danny is devoted to lawyer Beth (Elizabeth Banks) and bitter that his life is going nowhere. 8/10Īnson Wheeler (Seann William Scott) and Danny Donahue (Paul Rudd) are traveling promoters for an energy drink company. I highly recommend if you get the chance to see it, take it, it's a guaranteed laugh. I really loved Role Models, it turned out to be a great comedy and was an absolute blast to watch. You know what I ate for lunch? Cocaine." she is such a great and fun actress to watch on screen. Jane Lynch who is becoming one of my favorite comedic actresses, you've also seen her in 40 year old virgin, she is just absolutely hilarious in this movie and has all the best lines "You know what I ate for breakfast? Cocaine. Now the story is something we have seen a million times before, but it's still a great comedy. You know how the story goes, Danny learns how to be happy and Wheeler finally grows up into a more father figure role. Wheeler and Danny both work for an energy drink company, but after a very hard day for Danny he crashes their company truck on school property, but his ex-girlfriend, Beth, who is a lawyer is able to get them just 150 hours community service with two kids, one is a total dungeons and dragons nerd and the other is just a pain in the butt. He and Paul Rudd both worked so well together and were terrific on screen, this was the last duo on Earth that I expected such great laughs from. I just couldn't stop laughing throughout this film, who knew that Sean William Scott could actually be really funny? I know there are a lot of Stiffler fans that will hate that sentence, but I don't remember a time that I laughed so hard at his character. But I took the opportunity and saw Role Models the other day and I have to say this is completely opposite from what I was expecting, first off I was worried that there was going to be a lot of gross humor and the kids might be more annoying than funny, but it turn out that this was one of the funniest movies I have seen this year. 8/10Īfter seeing the trailer for Role Models, I thought it looked like a funny movie, but I wasn't expecting much, I was thinking they might have just shown the great parts in the trailer and that would be it. But there's so much fun to be had here it doesn't hurt the film, it's a true pick me up if you are feeling down, a splendid case of a cast finding chemistry across the board and delivering on the promise of the zippy script. Yep, there's adherence to poignancy and type, while the odd scene just comes off as being too smug and clever. It's also expertly performed by the cast, with the youngsters doing their shift admirably. As it happens, the film follows the standard formula of plotting but rises above it with funny dialogue, a commitment to its characters and an avoidance of the sort of treacle thick sentimentality that is out of place in this type of comedy. This in spite of the fact that I rate Rudd highly and have often found Scott watchable in small doses. Personally I avoided it until now because it just sounded like another lame American bawdy comedy about two slacker dudes who create chaos and then grow up by the end credits. For their service, the two men work at a program called Sturdy Wings that is designed to pair kids with adult role models. ![]() Two energy drink salesmen (Rudd and Scott) are ordered to perform 150 hours of community service as punishment for an offence that occurred when their company vehicle was about to be towed.
