Role Models
Damn. Elizabeth Banks has been busy as hell lately. I’m not sure where she has been finding the time for all that she’s been doing, but I’m not going to complain. With a solid cast and direction by David Wain, Role Models kind of had set itself up to not suck and luckily, it came through on that and even kind of made me like Sean William Scott. But sadly for all of the adults in this movie, Bobb’e J Thomson made them all look like amateurs and I’m sure he loved being in this movie and getting to curse as much as he did. But seriously, watch this kid, he’s going to be a big name in Hollywood.
The story was pretty cheesy and while I have to agree with The Onion’s A.V. Club that this was without a doubt the most commercial thing that David Wain has done, I loved it. It’s hilarious and cute without being annoying and has boobs in it. Is there anything else that I need to say? Oh yeah and it was so much fun that it actually makes dressing up as if it were medieval times and living out fantasy battles in real life seem almost like a good idea. Almost.
Rating: B+








[...] Andy Samberg, Bruce friggn’ Campbell, Mr. T (yup), Bobb’e J. Thompson (that kid from Role Models. I love this kid), NPH, Al Roker, and Will Forte. That’s a lot of great names right there! [...]
