| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott star in Role Models as Danny
and Wheeler, two salesmen who trash a company truck on an
energy drink-fueled bender. Upon their arrest, the court gives
them a choice: do hard time or spend 150 service hours with
a mentorship program. After one day with the kids, however,
jail doesn’t look half bad.
Surrounded by annoying do-gooders, Danny struggles with his
every neurotic impulse to guide Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)
through the trials of becoming a man. Unfortunately, the guy
just dumped by his girlfriend (Elizabeth Banks) has only sarcasm
to offer a bashful 16-year-old obsessed with medieval role
play.
Meanwhile, charming Wheeler tries to trade in an addiction
to partying and women to assist a fifth-grader named Ronnie
(Bobb’e J. Thompson) redirect his foul-mouthed ways.
It would probably help if Ronnie’s new mentor wasn’t
an overgrown adolescent whose idea of quality time includes
keggers in Venice Beach.
Once the center’s ex-con director (Jane Lynch) gives
them an ultimatum, Danny and Wheeler are forced to tailor
their brand of immature wisdom to their charges. And if they
can just make it through probation without getting thrown
in jail, the world’s worst role models will prove that,
sometimes, it takes a village idiot to raise a child.
