For my weekly journal consumption, I am going to talk about the movie I saw this week. The movie titled "Role Models" features actors Sean William Scott and Paul Rudd and is a comedy.
The biggest thing I noticed about this movie was the dry, perverted, usual humor we have come to know all too well lately. There have been many movies that have focused on worthless older men mentoring young kids. The difference with this movie and the others is the ability of Scott and Rudd to make it an actual process and them actually doing productive activities with the kids. I believe this is the thing that pulled me into watching the movie.
The thing I liked least about the movie was probably the fact the kids were so degrading and put off such a negative image of themselves that it was tough to relate it with kids I knew growing up. I usually need some kind of personalization in a movie to like it and be able to really see it from the point of view meant to see it in. The fact that every 10 seconds some nonsense and bodily function reference coming out of the kids mouth was used is not effective and a played out method of comedy. We have seen this rodeo many times in Will Ferrell and other Sean William Scott comedies.
Overall, the movie is a B at best with some hilarious references but, mostly nothing we haven't heard before.
