Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

OneEightNine Media Not as funny as I was hoping. I stopped watching this about an hour into it. It just wasn't getting any better. Unfunny comedies are the worst because they just exist without serving a purpose. Simply waste of time and space in the grand collection of cinema. Void of meaning or even entertainment value. The nothingness of the human condition. Darn them. Darn them to heck. In other words, this film is forgettable and not even worth a review.

Thomas Drufke As we all know Paul Rudd is taking on the role of Scott Lang AKA Ant-Man this summer, so I thought I would take a look at some of his other films that I have yet to see. Role Models is a tale of two Energy Drink Salesmen who are having a sort of an early mid life crisis after getting the choice of either 150 hours of community service or 30 days in jail. Of course, there's also a woman at stake, that being Elizabeth Banks, (Rudd's Girlfriend) and she cuts them a deal to work at a big brother program.Seann William Scott acts alongside Rudd in a pretty well done comedy. It's nothing too earth shattering and in fact we have seen a lot of it all before, but I had fun with it. Scott is like a poor mans Chris Pratt in a way, but his comedy hits more often than not. He plays the ladies man and the more laid back guy, while Rudd plays virtually the same character he would play one year later in I Love You Man. And what could have been a big disaster in working with younger actors (not so much Christopher Mintz-Plasse but in Bobb'e J. Thompson, it turned out to have a hilarious dynamic throughout the film. I also loved Ken Jeong as King Argotron. It was a much more toned down comedy than I expected and the less-goofy attitude of the film definitely worked to it's advantage.The film is utterly predictable though and everything gets wrapped up neatly in the end when I thought there should have been some story lines that play out further. Though this film isn't the best Rudd film nor is it overly re-watchable, it's an enjoyable silly comedy that didn't rely on as many stupid jokes as I thought. I also think there is a sweet story beyond all the sexual jokes and innuendos.+Toned down comedy +The kids worked well with Rudd and Scott +More than a silly comedy -Predictable -Wrapped up too nicely 7.0/10

willcundallreview Rating-7/10Role Models is a funny comedy and well acted by a funny cast which mixes humour and a heart warming backing to create what I think is an underrated film. A solid kind of good film this is worth a watch and with laughter to match you whilst watching then it is even more advisable. Here below is why I think this film is a good one.The story as said is funny yet warm and although is mostly humour of which can be sometimes very crude(mostly from Seann William Scott), it is still warm also and the ending as you may see is really quite happy and tender. It is fast comedy and things start straight away as you will see, the story is very simple but it works well enough anyway and you should laugh if at least not once, just go with the flow and have fun is all you need to like it, trust me it can be good.Paul Rudd in his ever comedic role is good in the main role with previously mentioned William Scott providing comedic cover in the supporting if not not shared main role. I particularly found the young actor Bobb'e J. Thompson who plays an orphan child as very funny and plays a cursing young boy who acts like he is 30 years old and a player. Elizabeth Banks brings rationality to the film and is just about the only serious character but she doesn't do anything to ruin the humour, it works along well.The script is the main part of the good humour used in this and is partly written by Paul Rudd as well as some others who contribute and make the script possibly the best thing about this entire film. One point when the directing of David Wain comes in is when they play this pretend fight game and the entire shot must have been very difficult to direct as so much goes on, the scene itself is hilarious by the way, and+ the scene has some great costumes as does many parts of the film so look out for them.It isn't the most solid comedy and not every joke is funny to be fair, most are I think but when they are not funny they are sometime in between funny jokes and so you laugh and then think "what was that" in two seconds. The acting isn't awesome and although Paul Rudd is experienced at this with such showings in Anchorman, he is the best comedic performer by far, William Scott is funny too though.I think most people who enjoy slightly crude humour will enjoy this and some people will have big laughs. If you are looking for a way more sophisticated comedy then this isn't for you but the movie isn't all comedy as I said it has a warm hearted feeling running through it and by the end(you will see what I mean),you feel the comedy has worked well and it end's nicely.So overall a 7/10 from me a solidly good film and a comedy I couldn't tell you to watch more actually. I would say if you just watch this through and in comedy mode if that makes any sense, then you will laugh at this and find the script is very smartly done. Some will like, some will not and I expect a rather mixed review on this.

FilmBuff1994 Role Models is a good movie with an enjoyable storyline and a great comedic cast.I did enjoy the movie, it had plenty of very funny scenes, but plenty of scenes that wern't do funny as well.I was honestly disappointed by this movie ,the cast was very promising, especially Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott,two hilarious actors together in what seemed like such a great set up, but it really just didn't live up to my expectations.Seann William Scott's character was definitely my favourite and I also really liked and Bobb'e J.Thompson's character was also one of the funniest.There are certainly several funny moments but also some not so funny moments,however , I would recommend Role Models to anyone looking for a fun comedy.Two irresponsible salesmen are priced to act as unlikely role models for two wayward kids.
