Role Models plays loose and easy, but not to the point of being lazy.July 06, 2010
A formulaic movie can be lifted out of its built-in rut by making it look like it invented the formula. Almost everything works here.August 15, 2011
Two boyish mentors bond with their charges in a swift comedy that lampoons Big Brother programs and the world of live-action role-play.July 06, 2010
This is an obviously contrived plot, but the script, co-written by Rudd, director David Wain, support actor Ken Marino and writer Tim Dowling, is packed with great jokes...November 21, 2008
Rudd, who co-wrote the script with director David Wain (among others), clearly learned a few things working on Judd Apatow comedies.July 06, 2010
Role Models is Rudd's first screenplay credit, and to that all we can say is, what on earth took so long?July 06, 2010
Rudd and Scott aren't stretching any new muscles, but Rudd's glum disaffection and Scott's bozo bonhomie do gel with a satisfying stickiness. They handle the gaping innuendo with such delicacy we know that they know they're better than this.November 14, 2008
Role Models follows a well-worn path, but thanks to a sure-footed cast and crew, it doesn't just go through the motions.September 29, 2012
If there's any justice, Role Models will see Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott propelled to the status of comedy Gods.January 09, 2009
'Role Models' isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, just polish it up a little. What emerges is a memorable slice of modern slapstick, with charm to spare and just a touch of soul.July 06, 2010
Role Models could have been another formulaic comedy, fresh off the assembly line. Instead, the work of Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott here is worthy of praise and one of the funnier films this year.
