Movie Review #2

“The Role Models” Movie Review
(written as a Staff Writer for my college newspaper)

From start to finish I was rolling. “The Role Models” features a comedic pairing of Seann William Scott who plays Wheeler and Paul Rudd who plays Danny. In an energy drink fueled binge mixed with relationship woes Rudd flips out and drives their company truck into a statue.

Their antics as energy drink spokesmen land them in court where they are given a choice between hard time or community service. They choose the community service route and are required to be “Role Models” for children. This is where the real fun begins. Jane Lynch is the director of the center that Wheeler and Danny are appointed to by the court. Her character has some very interesting issues of her own that only add to the hilarity.

Wheeler is paired with a kid who is obsessed with boobies and has a foul mouth, while Danny is paired with a young teen who lives in another world altogether. Their interaction with these kids is too funny to miss. I would definitely go see “The Role Models” again. I found myself spitting out my soda and choking on my popcorn. This movie is funny and definately worth the price of a movie ticket.
