ROLE MODELS is the story of Wheeler & Danny (Sean William Scott & Paul Rudd, respectively), two spokesmen for the energy drink Minotaur. While Wheeler is content with his seemingly dead-end job, Danny feels like he’s at the end of his life with nothing to show for it and he can’t do anything about it until he discovers that his girlfriend Beth (Elizabeth Banks) says that she’s leaving him, which drives his over the edge. Unable to contain the anger within he gets Wheeler in enough trouble that the law decides the best way to punish the two is to force them into community service.
Their penance is to become role models for two young troubled kids. This wouldn’t be so bad if the two kids Augie and Ronnie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Bobb’e J. Thompson, respectively) hated role models as much as they hated everything else. The two kids have as many problems as Wheeler & Danny but hopefully together they will learn to know what it truly means to have friendship.
Hollywood is not known for its original comedies and there is nothing new here that audiences have seen before. That being said the film as written by Paul Rudd, David Wain, Ken Marino, and Timothy Dowling still has a few Aces up the leave mainly with Rudd in an unconventional role as far removed as his characters in previous films and Thompson as Ronnie, whom Wheeler role models, whose trash talking African American kid is a natural and steals every scene he’s in. Other then that this is yet another easily forgotten Sean William Scott film that will have its admirers yet still remain nothing you haven’t already seen done better before.
