Role Models
Movie Blurb by Shale
November 9, 2008
The movie to see this week was Role Models and I woulda seen it yesterday, 'cept it was my B'day and I got a full body massage instead that took up all the matinee times. Anyhow, this movie looked like it had a good premise from the trailers so I rode my new B'day present bike to the Cineplex today.
Danny (Paul Rudd) and Wheeler (Seann William Scott) are friends and work partners doing their gig promoting an energy drink to high school kids as an alternative to drugs. Wheeler dresses as a Minotaur mascot and is one of those guys who enjoys his simple job and just likes to have a good time and play with girls. Danny is a very negative, overcritical type who drives his lawyer girlfriend Beth (Elizabeth Banks) to the point of breaking up.
Wheeler and Danny Selling Energy Drink to Kids
Danny then goes ballistic and drives the Minotaur truck up a statue horse's behind, assaulting a cop in the process and they are sentenced to a month in jail. Beth manages to get them community service working with kids at Sturdy Wings, a Big-Brothers type program run by Gayle (Jane Lynch) a tough ex addict who lets our guys know she takes no bullshit.
Don't bullshit me or you're going to jail!
So, as seen in the trailers, our clueless guys are paired with the worse cases in the program. Danny gets Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) a young teen nerd, totally engrossed with LAIRE a live fantasy game played with other teen and adult nerds. Wheeler gets a charming little black kid who adores him immediately.
Bigs and Littles get paired at Sturdy Wings
Nah! Just messin' with ya. Wheeler gets stuck with Ronnie (Bobb'e J.Thompson) a foul-mouthed, angry, conniving, little terror who was notorious for sending other counselors running after the first day. However, Gayle lets Wheeler know there is nowhere to run.
Big Wheeler and Little Ronnie a Perfect Match
OK, you see where this is bound to head being a formulaic romantic comedy. You know the guys are going to bond with their damaged kids and are going to find their own inner hero to help the kids cope. But the fun is not the destination so much as the trip. Watching the comedic interactions and poignant moments of inner discovery and developing friendship between the guys and their kids was what made this a very enjoyable movie. That, and the very funny, often raunchy dialogue.
So, why would a romantic comedy, usually PG-13 fare garner an R rating? Oh, just the usual; vulgar language, (mostly from a 12-year-old) sexual situations, nudity, drug references and "adult" themes.
I really recommend this movie, and quite frankly I think a 14-year-old could enjoy it as well.
