Role Models review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 10/26/12
Danny (Paul Rudd) and Wheeler (Seann William Scott) are two friends who promote an energy drink called Minotaur. Lawyer Beth Jones (Elizabeth Banks) feels that she isn't making Danny happy. Wheeler and Danny attends community service wherein they need to be role models to a kid who swears a lot named Ronnie (Bobb'e J. Thompson) and Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) who loves role playing medieval type games. The idea of adults being so rude to kids and a rude foul mouthed kid was just too unbelievable. The script was solid and support even better than the leads. Obviously the director has a fascination with Kiss so the soundtrack is definitely rockin. Best lines: Danny - "Look, life is hard, all right?" "Maybe they just understand that life is pain, and if you smoke something or take a pill, it'll go away for a while."and Gayle Sweeny (Jane Lynch) - "Kids come first." Role Models is a good comedy that shows how adults can neglect the importance of what they have, self absorption and being model for children.
