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.

We need this comedy to come back. We have super troopers 2 coming so you guys are next! Hope it happens. I would write a review but asking for a part 2 should explain it all. Fingers crossed.

While the two leads are undeniably great, it is Jane Lynch who steals this film. But then, she shines in every movie she's in. The film itself is a really wonderful, hilarious, unique take on the mismatched buddy genre. I was laughing out loud the whole time and enjoyed it until the end. I would have given it ten stars but it loses points for needless sexism throughout - the film was funny enough without it, and I'm honestly looking forward to the day when film makers no longer go low in order to deliver smirks to the lowest common denominators who might be watching.

Watch this if you want some thick guys' humor for a night with a couple of buds or whatever, it's manufactured fun for you so it can't be a disaster as long as you're totally permeable.It's not as good as often promoted, lots of the film relies on two-way semantic humor, the typical sexual innuendo type, the usual despondency of the modern working man tired of his life and generally cynical, there's a bit of social commentary in the mix what with parenthood and all...It's okay, but as a more structure-oriented critique, as central to the whole plot as it is surely this film spends too much time in the geeky role-playing realm there. A casual comedy fan looking for some guys' fun shouldn't have to sit through so much footage of that, and one certainly must ask the question whether this targets the young 25-30 year old adult or the much younger prepubescent audience because those two are not the same.4.5/10.
