srdjan_veljkovic There are much more sexy women than in most comedies, except the ones that are dealing with dating/chasing such women. What's more, they are well placed, as such things go, they don't seem to be "just for show".Also, the main characters do their usual funny stuff and it works more-or-less OK.But, the main point, interacting with kids, didn't work out so well. It's OK, nothing really wrong with it, but, there's more fun to be had with this setup.Most jokes in the movie seem to come from sexual allusions. First, it's way too much and second, it's not a good fit for a movie with kids.Also, the script has several issues. I mean, really, if you have to explicitly say that Elizabeth Banks is both beautiful and smart, there's something wrong with the script. Just a few well placed scenes (say, in the court, since she's a lawyer) would have shown that.As modern comedies go, it's OK, but, nothing special.

lewiskendell First of all, what's with the sudden pop culture saturation of LARP- ing in the past few years? It went from a fringe, nerds-only oddity, to the subject of a few documentaries, to a large portion of a mainstream comedy. Craziness! As for a review of the actual movie, Role Models is a comedy that's a bit more palatable to female tastes than the average film of this kind. It has a positive core at the center of its amusing and slightly raunchy exterior. Paul Rudd is as funny as always, Sean William Scott does his usual thing, and Elizabeth Banks lends her beauty and potent appeal, but it's Jane Lynch who steals the spotlight in her short, but numerous scenes. It's nice to see that Arrested Development alums are still the funniest in the biz.Role Models isn't nearly as touching or heartfelt as many critics would have you believe, and I do feel like it could have been much funnier. But overall, it left me with a good impression after I finished watching it, and that makes it a success in my book.

Thomas Drufke As we all know Paul Rudd is taking on the role of Scott Lang AKA Ant-Man this summer, so I thought I would take a look at some of his other films that I have yet to see. Role Models is a tale of two Energy Drink Salesmen who are having a sort of an early mid life crisis after getting the choice of either 150 hours of community service or 30 days in jail. Of course, there's also a woman at stake, that being Elizabeth Banks, (Rudd's Girlfriend) and she cuts them a deal to work at a big brother program.Seann William Scott acts alongside Rudd in a pretty well done comedy. It's nothing too earth shattering and in fact we have seen a lot of it all before, but I had fun with it. Scott is like a poor mans Chris Pratt in a way, but his comedy hits more often than not. He plays the ladies man and the more laid back guy, while Rudd plays virtually the same character he would play one year later in I Love You Man. And what could have been a big disaster in working with younger actors (not so much Christopher Mintz-Plasse but in Bobb'e J. Thompson, it turned out to have a hilarious dynamic throughout the film. I also loved Ken Jeong as King Argotron. It was a much more toned down comedy than I expected and the less-goofy attitude of the film definitely worked to it's advantage.The film is utterly predictable though and everything gets wrapped up neatly in the end when I thought there should have been some story lines that play out further. Though this film isn't the best Rudd film nor is it overly re-watchable, it's an enjoyable silly comedy that didn't rely on as many stupid jokes as I thought. I also think there is a sweet story beyond all the sexual jokes and innuendos.+Toned down comedy +The kids worked well with Rudd and Scott +More than a silly comedy -Predictable -Wrapped up too nicely 7.0/10

kai ringler There's something about watching a movie that has Sean William Scott in it,, I don't know if it's just because he makes me laugh, or it's just all of the raunchy humor he brings to the table.. in this one him and Paul Rudd are paired together, they wreck their truck into a school statue, and are faced with a 30 day jail term. but one of them makes a deal with the judge and they wind up with 150 hours community service,, the judge decides to enroll them in a big brother program, and they have 30 days to complete the program. the two little brothers are one that's obsessed with boobs,, and the other is into live fantasy role play games. This movie is a tale about 2 30 something men growing up and taking responsibility for someone else instead of themselves ,, actually heartworming to a point,, very funny movie though.
