Role Models (2008)
6/10
Roles of a lifetime
23 July 2018
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.
