Role Models Trailers

Two salesmen trash a company truck on an energy drink-fueled bender. Upon their arrest, the court gives them a choice: do hard time or spend 150 service hours with a mentorship program. After one day with the kids, however, jail doesn't look half bad.

To me, this movie is perfection.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

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.

This film is Rated-R comedy film to which I thought it would gonna be more than just Rated-R film. I'm a huge fan of great Rated-R comedian actors, Ken Jeong from Hang Over Film and William Scott from American Pie Series. It's very awful that I find this film completely absurd, boring pun lines, cliché dialogue, cliché story lines and nothing's new with the film. Or maybe I was just got out of context on the whole concept of the Movie.There were no surprised at all. It's bad how the film doesn't reach my expectation to where I got confused and asked my self, what am I watching? I don't know if the film is longer a comedy or inspirational drama. I think that they should've changed the film to inspirational film instead of comedy film since comedy actors weren't fit for the film.

This movie was actually better than what I had initially anticipated. And it was primarily because of the characters, the storyline and also because of the cast. There is just something hilarious and lovable about these types of geeky comedies. Sure, it is not award winning material, but it provides proper entertainment and good laughs.While many aspects of this movie is as generic as it gets, then the storyline was well-constructed and brought to life on the screen.The cast was doing good jobs with their given roles and characters. Paul Rudd really carried the movie singlehandedly. And it was a shame that Ken Jeong didn't have a bigger role, because he is just downright hilarious.There is a lot that might be appealing to you if you enjoy these types of comedies. I was genuinely surprised with this movie and I was entertained. So "Role Models" is well-worth watching should you be looking for a comedy with a good story and equally good characters.

The story is quite good. It departs from a commonly found situation that many people can relate to, and gets to focus really quickly. But despite the good and uncommonly found premise of being an example to kids, the movie is in fact not for kids. Besides that, there are more than enough frames about body parts that are definitely not for kids. Though some of them are weird and just plain odd, the jokes are actually fun to see. Paul Rudd acted just at an average performance, though he managed to get the calm mood portrayed. Sean William Scott is comfortable and is actually quite like at home depicting a carefree womanizer. Instead I like how Elizabeth Bank's performance turned out to be. She really gives it a nice addition into the whole picture.
