Role Models


Director: David Wain
Cast: Seann William Scott, Paul Rudd, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Bobb’e J. Thompson

Release Date: Feb 26

As good hearted as it is funny, Role Models tells the story of two Gen-X losers, Danny (Paul Rudd) and Wheeler (Seann William Scott), who run afoul of the law and are ordered by a judge to join a mentoring programme for socially maladjusted boys. Danny is paired with the nerdy Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), a fantasy role-playing fanboy; and Wheeler is paired with Ronnie (Bobb’e J. Thompson), a foul-mouthed brat. It’s great fun to watch the pairs get to know each other: Danny is slowly indoctrinated into Augie’s fantasy world, while Wheeler and Ronnie bond over their shared appreciation for boobs.

The film’s climax, a mix of medieval swordplay and Kiss costumes, is priceless. -JJ
