Movie Review: Role Models

Plot:
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 hours with a mentorship program. After one day with the kids, however, jail doesn’t look half bad. Once the center’s ex-con director (Jane Lynch) gives them an ultimatum, Danny and Wheeler are forced to tailor their brand of immature wisdom to their charges, Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and Ronnie (Bobb’e J. Thompson). And if they can just make it through probation without getting thrown in jail, the world’s worst role models will prove that, sometimes, it takes a village idiot to raise a child. (From IMDB.com)

My Review:
I was a little skeptical about this movie at first. It had all the ingredients to be either a great movie or a huge bomb. I wasn’t really expecting a whole lot, but it was great movie overall. It had you laughing throughout the entire movie. It almost felt like Seann William Scott reprised his role as Stifler in this movie. And when he is accompanying Paul Rudd, you have best of both worlds. Check it out.

Rating: ★★★★☆
