David Wain's new comedy "Role Models" stars Paul Rudd (who co-wrote the film with Wain,) and Seann William Scott, who play energy drink salesman that end up having to do community service after a hilarious and ridiculous accident ensues at a high school they were promoting the drink at occurs. They end up at "Sturdy Wings" a mentoring program run by former a straight, and sometimes crazy talking former drug addict, played by the brilliant and insane Jane Lynch, where Rudd and Scott end up as "Bigs" to the 2 most unlikely kids, Chrisopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin from Superbad,) an uber-nerd obsessed with a live action Dungeons and Dragons/World of War Craft role playing game, and a foul mouthed 8 year old named Ronnie, played by the maginificent Bobb'e J. Thompson that could probably out curse Chris Rock. While I've had a crush on Paul Rudd since Clueless and didn't think he could ever be more amazing than he was in Wet Hot American Summer*, he proved to me he was a leading man in this film.
I've been a David Wain fan since "The State" was on MTV in the early 90's and he's really matures, stepped up his game and still works with the brilliantly talented people he worked with then, like Ken Marino (who I am now convinced is Zach Braff's brother from another mother after this movie.) If you want to laugh and listen to kids and adults with filthy mouths and filthier minds GO SEE THIS MOVIE. Not only is it hilarious, but it's got a lot of heart and legitimately enjoyable. My rating 9.2/10
[*possibly one of THE greatest comedies you'll EVER watch]I coincidentally saw these containers right after I saw the movie and was inspired to shoot them. Though the tag line isn't as exciting as Minotaur's "Taste the Beast!""Piercing enery that strikes back," is just as awesome/awful.
