Teen Critic Says Role Models is Hilarious

Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd deal with Jane Lynch in Role Models (Universal)

By Lily Canones

Role Models (opening November 7 throughout San Diego) is a story about two friends, Danny (Paul Rudd) And Wheeler (Seann William Scott), who work together in advertising an energy drink and end up conducting wild behavior. Their punishment -- work off 150 hours of commmunity service hours in a Big Brother program mentoring kids. Both are assigned to a kid: Wheeler, the very outgoing one, gets stuck with Ronnie, a want-to-be tough 10-year-old boy who happens to curse a lot for his age. On the other hand, Danny, the one who hates his life and has no joy in it whatsoever, gets stuck with Augie, a nerd who is absolutely obssesed with the fantasy world of Medival times. Throughtout the story, Danny and Wheeler go through many hardships but at the same time, they learn the importance of many things in life from Augie and Ronnie despite the many hours they had to work off.

Role Models (rated R for crude and sexual content, strong language and nudity) is a hilarious movie and I highly recommend it as a "must-see." I really enjoyed the storyline and especially Bobb'e J. Thompson's character Ronnie -- his cursing so much and his obsession with women (despite the fact that he's such a young kid).
