That was an excellent one.

An action-packed slog

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Role Models is certainly something Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott never
aspired to be. These two have a gig going around to various schools, Scott in
the costume of the legendary Greek mythological creature the Minotaur and
Rudd delivering an anti-drug pitch to our middle schoolers with some energy
drink called the Minotaur which is liquid sugar. Creating a diabetic crisis for the
following generation to deal with.After a presentation that lays an ostrich egg these two get into an altercation
with a tow truck operator it's jail or community service with a big brother type
program run by Jane Lynch.Rudd gets to bond with Christopher Mintz-Plasse a nerdy kid who is into live
action Mazes&Monsters type role play and Scott draws Bobbie J. Thompson a
kid with a sewer mouth that repels everyone else.The film is the story of how it works out for both men and the surrogate little
brothers they've drawn. All coming nicely together in a very funny in a park
where both men and young Thompson get into Mintz-Plasse's live action
medieval tournament.Rudd and Scott really get into their characters or maybe I should say they
build a bit of character in themselves and their charges. It's a nice comedy brought off well by a fine cast.

Role Models (2008): Dir: David Wain / Cast: Paul Rudd, Seann William Scott, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Bobb'e J. Thompson, Elizabeth Banks: Title states that role models are those people who are there for children. The problem is that the advertizing poster showcases drunkenness and urination on walls, which defuses any positive message on the bases of being believable. Rushed premise regards Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott given community service mentoring children. What is truly wrong is the profanity coming from a fifth grader. Directed by David Wain with cheap production and a total lack of sincerity. Rudd was recently rejected by his girlfriend. Scott teaches a boy about graphic sexuality. Together they portray characters unfit to monitor a plant let alone a child. The fact that they become positive role models is completely phony. Christopher Mintz-Plasse plays a kid obsessed with fantasy. He is the type of kid who is subject to bullying and it isn't difficult to see why. Bobb'e J. Thompson plays the foul mouthed kid mentored by Scott. Thompson is perhaps the most disturbing element in the film. Elizabeth Banks wastes her comedic talent as the dull lawyer / girlfriend to the Rudd character. Despite the performances the film acts as no role model particularly within the boundaries it crosses. It should be stomped upon by a stampede of rhinos. Score: 1 / 10

Anson Wheeler (Seann William Scott) and Danny Donahue (Paul Rudd) are traveling promoters for an energy drink company. Wheeler is a slacker womanizer. Danny is devoted to lawyer Beth (Elizabeth Banks) and bitter that his life is going nowhere. In desperation, he asks her to marry him. Of course, she breaks up with him. Danny gets into a fight with a tow truck driver causing damage to the school. 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. Thompson). Gayle Sweeny (Jane Lynch) runs the program.Paul Rudd is a great grump and gets in some good rants. Seann William Scott is doing his usual womanizing slacker. Mintz-Plasse is touching as the LARP nerd. He has a sweet relationship with Rudd. There is something funny about a foul-mouthed little kid. There are a lot of inappropriate laughs and there's a sweet feel-good movie at its center.

"So, do you like Coca-Cola?" "I like the idea of it more than I actually like it."Off the wall moments like that are the reason I watch this movie back again and again. Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott are the straight guys playing against a cast of wackos. I thought the film needed to be a little better balanced between the scenes of the LAIRE game and scenes dealing with Ronnie. It felt like Ronnie's arc got cut short a little bit, whereas we see a more complete story of how Danny helps Augie gain confidence and acceptance. I always like Ken Jeong, but this is one of my favorite roles of his--little details like his ordering the Denver Omlet stuck with me and add to the repeat value. I'm glad it is R rated and makes the most of it. It is good enough to be worth owning. Now exit my Burger Hole, boy.
