Role Models

Hola!

Last night Rachel and I watched the movie Role Models. The movie is about two guys who get in trouble with the law, and to get out of going to jail they are forced to do community service. The two guys have to help out a non-profit organization that acts as a big brother, little brother program. Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd are both in this movie, and both deliver alright performances.

The way the story plays out is pretty funny, but in most cases, it was very predictable. I guess I didn't watch it for the predictability factor though, Rachel and I watched it because we'd been watching a lot of heavier movies lately, and this looked like an easy way to sit back and have a laugh. The movie is pretty funny, but it is also very vulgar. I don't recommend showing this movie to anyone under the age of 16. There is nudity, there is a ton of swearing from the 10-year-old character, and there are a few drug references.

I think the reason I enjoyed this movie more than I probably should have was because I really enjoyed the nerd-style humor embedded in the movie. One of the characters, played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin', playing his type-casted McLovin' role, once again), is involved in a live-action roleplay world called Laire, and I think without that aspect of the movie, it really would've bombed. So, if you don't enjoy nerd humor, KISS jokes, or excessive cursing from a 10-year-old, I really wouldn't recommend this movie to you. If you do on the other hand, this is probably your movie.

If I had to give it a star rating (which I haven't been doing until this post, I'm starting this now), I would give it 7/10. The movie was above average for me, but I didn't LOVE it.

As for the rest of the weekend, I've got to study eventually, probably soon. I also think I'm going to go to the hockey game tonight, since it's the last one of the regular season at home. I'm sure Rachel and I will maybe watch another movie today as well.

Thanks for reading everyone! Have a great day!
