  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.

  Role Models

  by JacquelineSC

  I saw this with my girlfriend because we needed (at least hoped for) a good laugh. I laughed till I cried. I saw that my 2 teen sons would relate in so many ways that I took them to see it a few days later. Though some scenes are embarrassing for a mom to sit through with 2 young boys, they loved the movie, and I knew they would. My 17-year-old came out saying he related to EVERY part of that movie. I knew he would. My 14-year-old son nearly stopped breathing from laughing so hard. Even though it was rated R (and rightly so), I'm glad I took my sons to see it ... my way of saying, "I understand some of what you're going through." They appreciated it, and we all needed a good laugh.

  A Hysterical Production Worth Seeing

  by Relipsee

  Role Models is simply a great movie. It will keep you laughing all the way through and will keep you thinking about it until next week. Sean William Scott (one of my favorite actors) has one of the funniest roles in the movie but the kids are the real laugh.
  
  Role Models has got everything you need to make a great movie: hilarity, a great cast, a wonderful setting, a life lesson, and trash-talking kids.
  
  WARNING: Just because there are two kids in the movie does not mean it is okay for children. This movie has a lot of harsh language and sexual parts. It is strictly for adults.
  
  So, if you're 17 or over, want a good laugh, and like the whole hysterical-movie-with-a-semi-sentimental-part-but-still-funny flick Role Models is the movie for you!

  Role Models - Paul Rudd

  by echoi316

  This is the better comedy of this style that I have seen in a long time. My favorites have been 40 year old virgin, Knocked Up, and Superbad. Ever since those three, the rest have been mediocre and increasingly graphic (i.e. sexually), which is not necessarily a bad thing if it contributes to the hilarity of the situation. But when the comedy is based solely on these sort of slap-stick measures, it gets old, very very quickly. That is why I think Role Models was somewhat a bit of fresh air. Yes, there were the stupid jokes, but much of it was based on language. It was not uproarious, but it was not bad either. It was a solid comedy, in which Paul Rudd really steals the show. I admit, I may have a bias for this man, because ever since he was Jennifer Aniston's baby daddy, the protective but adorable step-brother of a rich, blond high schooler, and Phoebe's beau, I've had a love for his acting, charm, and looks! But his dry sense of humor and pessimism really did make Role Models for me.

  Haven't laughed that hard in a movie theater in years! And I wasn't alone! Predictable plot but who cares you'll laugh throughout the whole movie!

  Fans of 40 y.o. Virgin will like this movie

  by mderzko

  Similarities between the cast of 40 y.o. Virgin and Role Models are significant, but the movie doesn't reprise the same jokes. The comedy is novel, at times crude, but always entertaining.

  Well worth it!

  by i_thornton

  I expected it to be vulgar and have some mild humor to it, which it did. If you are easily offended and uptight, skip this. But if you want a solid movie to laugh during, with a suprisingly strong plot, and a great ending, go see it! I honestly wasnt expecting much from the movie at all, but it was an excellent movie with several vulgar 'laugh until you cry' scenes and a well thought out plot. I took my fiance and we both walked out saying "that was a lot better than I expected!"
  
  Besides, I see a lot of people writing reviews with "too vulgar, would have been good for teens and pre-teens but way too vulgar."
  
  Hey, wake up, its rated R, with "crude and sexual content, strong language and nudity."
  
  Overall, great laughs, strong plot, great ending, overall very good movie.

  Absolutely hysterical!!

  by Bashadoodle

  This movie has a little bit of everything. Lots of laughs, some violence, some drama, some sex, some love story, some moral teaching but above all FUNNY. The kids cursing was a bit much but truthfully added to the laughs. The acting was great, storyline was great, overall an awesome movie..Go see it!!
