Nobody asked me what I thought of Role Models, but I'm just going to butt in here and say that I really liked it. The trailers didn't do it justice, because it is a very, very funny movie. I have a sorta love/hate relationship with David Wain; I dig the heck out of Wet Hot American Summer for some reason, but his other stuff just plain hasn't done it for me. Role Models, which I'm pretty sure has done decently at the box office, seems like slightly watered down, commercialized Wain zaniness and it's refreshing. Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott are both kind of camera muggers, (I don't really know what that means, but I think it applies to those two) and even though Rudd usually does it better, they're both likable enough in this flick. Elizabeth Banks, who I guess is pretty tight with Wain and Rudd, is wasted and McLovin doesn't do anything to escape a decade of typecasting. Bobb'e J. Thompson, meanwhile, is the standout - That kid's goin' places! Human Giant rules!
