    ROLE MODELS - GRADE: B

    by MOVIES REVIEWER

    The advance press screening audience laughed and laughed and laughed so much at the hilarious antics of the cast in this unpretentious affable comedy.

    I was apprehensive and was not expecting much prior to screening this movie but I was pleasantly surprised by how down-to-earth low-key AND funny the movie turned out. The charm was in the great chemistry of its cast of adults and kids - and the well-timed jokes plus side-splitting one-liners. Sure it was the potty-mouthed kid that nearly stole every scene he was in - but you can't help but be charmed by his cuteness.

    Overall, the movie was entertaining - plus has great buddy-buddy message and tight focus on friendship and team-work - plus..... never give up and never back down from who you are and what you want.

    I would recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a silly goofy nerdy geeky comedy with heart.

    CAUTION: Nudity, obscene language, scene of drug use - unsuitable for kids/youths.

    Otherwise, LOL.

    very funny

    by twisted_pain111

    i know many people will get offended from all the cursing , specially from the kids cursing, but over all this movie was very very funny. almost as funny as knocked up or 40 y/o virgin. very well made, it gets a little sappy towards the ends as you may expect but, over all, FUNNY, enjoy it!

    Much Better than I Expected

    by Dndd2000P

    I wouldn't go so far to say it was the best movie of the year, but it was definitely the best comedy I've seen this year, and I could put this on my top five for this year overall. Very, very good movie. Hilarious throughout, which is all that really matters in a comedy. The storyline was simple but pulled off nicely; excellent acting throughout and absolutely lovable characters. The humor is crude but, in my opinion, is not put to excess like many seem to be putting here and is pulled off smoothly.

    The majority of the theater was laughing the entire time. Definitely something worth seeing in theaters, it was well worth my ten dollars.
