The award to one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time definitely goes to the movie Role Models. I thought the plot was very comical and at the same time not anything too off the wall that would make it seem unrealistic and stupid. If you like traditional and classic modern comedies this will be right up your alley. It is comparable to Super Bad, Pineapple Express, and Dumb and Dumber.
Two friends who have a pretty dead end lives, Wheeler played by Seann William Scott and Danny played by Paul Rudd, have been working for a company promoting an energy drink for 10 years. They go from school to school trying to keep kids out of drugs and in to Minotaur (the energy drink). Danny finally has a breakdown when he is dumped by his attorney girlfriend of 7 years. He tries to run someone over with his buddy Wheeler in the company truck. They then are charged with a 30 day jail sentence, but Beth( Danny's Ex) however, saves them by substituting their 30-day prison sentence for 150 hours of community service. They must be role models for kids at Sturdy Wings. But after a single day with the weird kids, Augie and Ronnie, they begin to think 30 days in jail may not be all that bad.
According to Maxim's Movie Reviews and Opinions Blog, Role Models which was written by Paul Rudd is considered to be consistently funny and a great movie because of the plot. It would be great to see something like this happen. Two guys who do not know how to really appreciate life are transformed by two kids who have no support or any positive male role models in their lives. It was given 4 out of 5 stars.
Some of the negative reviews were that most of the jokes were about kids cursing. I definitely agree with that, but the crowd that should be watching this movie shouldn't be young children anyways. Ronnie was the main kid cursing, but if you watch the movie you would be able to see why it fit his character and why it was funny.

That movie was hilarious. I went and saw it with a friend of mine right when it came out and I thought it was awesome. I actually just rented it last weekend to watch again. It is a very funny movie, but definatly for a mature audince.
ReplyDeleteThis movie was mildly funny. I wouldn't say it was worthy of any type of award but it definitely had my laughing. My favorite part was when the nerdy fantasy character was telling Wheeler to say he misses his ex's whispering eye on her voice mail. He got so excited when he made him say vagina lol.
