Wanted: Role Models

Every once in a while there comes a comedy that shows promise and thencompletely blows away even the moderately high expectations you had coming in. Role Models is this movie. The two stars are very well known and do as well as expected but what makes the movie is the supporting cast. Paul Rudd (Clueless) and Seann Williams Scott (American Pie) are for the most part in top form but do not go above and beyond what you would expect.

Rudd and Scott are sentenced to 150 hours of community service and are assigned to two children named Auggie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse AKA McLovin from Superbad) and Ronnie (Bobb'e J. Thompson). These two characters could not be any more different but they end up going quite well with their respective "big."

Other relatively unknown actors/actresses who are amazing in supporting roles in this movie would be Jane Lynch as the former crack whore turned child mentor, Ken Jeong as the L.A.I.R.D. king, Matt Walsh as the king's main fake henchman, and A.D. Miles as the overenthusiastic Sturdy Wings mentor (who also wants to get in the pants of Jane Lynch's character).

If you are not turned off by excessive profanity, occasional nudity, and extremely obvious inuendoes (ALWAYS followed by a strange facial expression by Rudd) then this is a movie for you. Even movies that I love and get from Netflix are in the mail the next day usually. This one hung around a few days so that I could watch it a few times. It is THAT good. Check it out!
