Role Models
Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott star in Role Models as Danny and Wheeler, two salesmen who trash a company truck on an energy drink-fueled bender. Upon their arrest, the court gives them a choice: do hard time or spend 150 service hours with a mentorship program. After one day with the kids, however, jail doesn't look half bad.
Surrounded by annoying do-gooders, Danny struggles with his every neurotic impulse to guide Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) through the trials of becoming a man. Unfortunately, the guy just dumped by his girlfriend (Elizabeth Banks) has only sarcasm to offer a bashful 16-year-old obsessed with medieval role play. Meanwhile, charming Wheeler tries to trade in an addiction to partying and women to assist a fifth-grader named Ronnie (Bobb'e Thompson) redirect his foul-mouthed ways. It would probably help if Ronnie's new mentor wasn't an overgrown adolescent whose idea of quality time includes keggers in Venice Beach.

Role Dawdles
If mediocre be thy name play on! This so so comedy relies on your ability to find 10 year old kids constantly drawing pictures of male genitalia and uttering swear words in the same vein funny. It's the same old tired and tested main protagonist loses girlfriend and must overcome his own gittishness to win her back ably assisted by his dim witted and supposedly funnier friend. Relax, turn your brain all the way to off, drink a gallon of beer and this film almost becomes funny. Would you watch it again, I think not. Role on the undoubted much less funnier (if that's possible) sequel.
