Paul Rudd, Ken Jeong, Ken Marino, and Jayne Lynch. This was like the Party Down dream team just a few months before the show started airing.
I once read that the Movie Wayne's World was actually a shell of a script and that the movie was just filled in with site gags later on. Obviously that worked, at least in the first movie. It very much felt like the same kind of idea with this movie, except that the delivery was terrible (having Stiffler as one of the leads probably should have been a sign). Hey look, the kid is swearing and breaking stuff for the twentieth time. BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA. Ugh. The movie was really amateurish site gag after site gag, and these were only interrupted by terrible dialog. It really is a shame that such a talented comedic supporting cast was so wasted on this film (I actually felt bad for Jane Lynch).

Role Models was a big disappointment, especially as a fan of Paul Rudd. I expected more from this comedy, but it struggled to maintain my interest throughout. While it had its moments, the overall execution fell short of what I had hoped for. Despite Rudd's presence, it lacked the comedic punch and engagement that I was looking for.
Didn't bother to finish it, not for me
Like the word 'endure', one glance at the beginning and you see the 'end'.
Yes, this bastardization of Big Daddy and Good Boys is awfully unfunny, but it does include an engaged women who's unfaithful because a man tells her he has a boner and an adult man talking to a 10-year-old about tits. So there's that. :person_facepalming_tone2:

It has been awhile seen I have seen this one and I must say, it holds up! I remember having loads of fun with Role Models when I was in my early twenties because I was in love with Stifler and American Pie. But now that I'm quite a bit more grown up I enjoy Paul Rudd a lot too. Both Rudd and Scott are decent in this one. Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Augie and Bobb'e J. Thompson are fun too.
Loved the heart in the final part and damn totally forgot about that sausage part. And them playing an old school FIFA? Always fun to see! Also totally forgot about Joe Lo Truglio and Ken Jeong being in this!
David Wain's Role Models is one of the more fun comedies out of the 2000's and one that holds up really well. Fun way to spend your friday night!
Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott don't exactly push the boundaries of their typecasts as a pair of aging slackers - one relentless party animal, one dry, sarcastic prick (try to guess which is which) - in this by-the-books dirty comedy. Given the choice between a short jail sentence and one month working with a kids' organization, the two try their luck at babysitting and, predictably, learn a few basic lessons about fatherhood, maturity and responsibility along the way.
The generic plot won't buck even the most gullible audience, but in truth it's really only there to give the trove of supporting comedians something to riff on in every scene. Jane Lynch and about two-thirds of the cast of MTV's old cult favorite The State make routine appearances, but the best lines come from Bobb'e Thompson, the kid under Scott's supervision. Though he's paired in almost every scene with Christopher Mintz-Plasse (better known as McLovin from 2007's Superbad), Thompson lives and breathes his character while Plasse is merely filling a stiff, redundant role. Role Models produces a few good laughs, with plenty of opportunities for Lynch to make everyone on-screen and off feel totally uncomfortable, but at the end of the day it's no better than average.
Role Models is a story that really lets the humor come naturally. All the actors and their respective characters lend themselves towards a pretty funny movie. Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott should be working together more often.
Refreshingly good natured comedy. You just have to read beteween the lines.
Paul Rudd always delivers, and Seann & the kids give good performances too. It's entertaining enough for the first hour, but the last half-hour is really where the heart is.
i like your take on boobies! and i like boobies!

I thought it was really funny when Stifler...oops wrong movie right guy. Sure he plays the exact same character in every movie but it was hilarious here. This movie had laughs from beginning to end. Even the swearing around the kids didn't feel wrong like Bad Santa. If you are a KISS fan, this movie is an absolute must see. The costumes and music reference will make your day.
