Another year, another frat pack comedy...
Actually, maybe that is not such a bad thing? I rather liked "Role Models". I thought it was funny. In fact, at times "Role Models" was very funny, especially any scene that featured magnificent super geek Christopher Mintz-Plasse, vile child Bobb'e J. Thompson or mad charity worker Jane Lynch.
Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott were both good. True, you could argue that Paul Rudd's character (disillusioned, cynical, loser) might have been better played by someone like Vince Vaughan, and you could also argue that Seann William Scott's character (cocksure, man child, loser) was exactly the same character that he had played in, well, practically every single other film he has been in, but that would be picking hairs.
"Role Models" is a straight, down the line comedy. Often rude, frequently relying on bad language in the absence of solid jokes, and fairly crass, but weirdly feel good. Sometimes that is exactly the kind of film that you want to see.
I enjoyed it.
