Role Models: Reviewish

So evidently Role Models was written by Paul Rudd. And I'm glad. This dude is a bag of funny in everything he's in. Even Clueless! He was the step-brother, Josh. Why do I remember that?

So the gist of this one is Paul Rudd and Stiffler from American Pie (Sean William Scott) are arrested, given community service, and forced to volunteer what is essentially a "Big Brothers" type of organization. Pairing adults with youths to mentor them. Paul gets saddled with a kid who is way into this real life role playing D&D kinda' thing, played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin from Superbad). Stiffler (His name in this flick is Wheeler) gets saddled with a ridiculously foul mouthed little kid named Ronnie. And hijinx ensue!

I have to say I expected this to be a throwaway comedy and at first I thought it was going to get too big for its own britches. However every branch they take is wrapped up by the end in one of the most awesome ending sequences I've seen in a comedy in a long, long time. All I'm going to say is BATTLE ROYALE. It's pretty great.

So if you're looking for the funny, go see this one. You won't be let down.
