We need this comedy to come back. We have super troopers 2 coming so you guys are next! Hope it happens. I would write a review but asking for a part 2 should explain it all. Fingers crossed.

First of all, what's with the sudden pop culture saturation of LARP- ing in the past few years? It went from a fringe, nerds-only oddity, to the subject of a few documentaries, to a large portion of a mainstream comedy. Craziness! As for a review of the actual movie, Role Models is a comedy that's a bit more palatable to female tastes than the average film of this kind. It has a positive core at the center of its amusing and slightly raunchy exterior. Paul Rudd is as funny as always, Sean William Scott does his usual thing, and Elizabeth Banks lends her beauty and potent appeal, but it's Jane Lynch who steals the spotlight in her short, but numerous scenes. It's nice to see that Arrested Development alums are still the funniest in the biz.Role Models isn't nearly as touching or heartfelt as many critics would have you believe, and I do feel like it could have been much funnier. But overall, it left me with a good impression after I finished watching it, and that makes it a success in my book.

Anson Wheeler (Seann William Scott) and Danny Donahue (Paul Rudd) are traveling promoters for an energy drink company. Wheeler is a slacker womanizer. Danny is devoted to lawyer Beth (Elizabeth Banks) and bitter that his life is going nowhere. In desperation, he asks her to marry him. Of course, she breaks up with him. Danny gets into a fight with a tow truck driver causing damage to the school. Beth gets them community service and they become big brothers to Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) who's obsessed with Live-Action-Interactive-Role playing-Explorers (basically LARP) and foul-mouthed Ronnie (Bobb'e J. Thompson). Gayle Sweeny (Jane Lynch) runs the program.Paul Rudd is a great grump and gets in some good rants. Seann William Scott is doing his usual womanizing slacker. Mintz-Plasse is touching as the LARP nerd. He has a sweet relationship with Rudd. There is something funny about a foul-mouthed little kid. There are a lot of inappropriate laughs and there's a sweet feel-good movie at its center.

There's something about watching a movie that has Sean William Scott in it,, I don't know if it's just because he makes me laugh, or it's just all of the raunchy humor he brings to the table.. in this one him and Paul Rudd are paired together, they wreck their truck into a school statue, and are faced with a 30 day jail term. but one of them makes a deal with the judge and they wind up with 150 hours community service,, the judge decides to enroll them in a big brother program, and they have 30 days to complete the program. the two little brothers are one that's obsessed with boobs,, and the other is into live fantasy role play games. This movie is a tale about 2 30 something men growing up and taking responsibility for someone else instead of themselves ,, actually heartworming to a point,, very funny movie though.
