Role Models

Starring: Seann William Scott, Paul Rudd, some hilarious, vulgar Black kid, some hilarious, dorky White kid

Okay, hear me out. I'm going with the whole "expectations theory" on this one. You know, like if you expect a whole lot, the movie won't meet your expectations, but if you don't expect $hit, then you'll end up liking the movie. This movie was recommended to us by the Colmenaresessessss's hype machine, so I expected to be laughing my a$$ off. Oh, excuse me. I mean, I thought I would be ROTFLMAO, to be technologically and textually-correct. I'm down with the times, yo!

Anyway, it was definitely funny. It was definitely better than most comedies. I just thought I would be laughing throughout the entire movie. Maybe I'm jaded and I've seen too many movies.

Anyway, ROLE MODELS is about Stifler and that dude from CLUELESS who work a dead-end job selling some energy drink and giving "Just Say No" anti-drug speeches to kids. They're in their mid-30s, so while Stifler loves his job 'cause he sees the possibilities of pu$$y anywhere, Rudd's having a mid-life crisis and wants to do more.

They end up f@cking up somehow and have to either go to jail for 30 days or do some kinda big-brother mentoring program. They, of course, to support our movie premise, choose the latter. And this is where the hilarity starts.

Rudd's "little" is this dork of dorks who spends all his time in this imaginary Dungeons and Dragons world. He wears a cape, carries around this rubber sword, fights fake-battles, and hangs out with similarly creepy-dorky guys.

Stifler's kid is this crass, vulgar Black kid who swears constantly and looks at boobies. He's a complete terror. I'm actually shocked they let the kid swear so much, even if it is acting. Imagine if you were this kid's real-life parents. Do you sell-out?

To me, Stifler's kinda getting overdone, but Rudd is hilarious. Who would've thought that the guy would be one of today's go-to comedy guys? The guy from Clueless. Who would've thunk it? Maybe Alicia Silverstone while she's sitting unemployed at home. His subtle, witty one-liners always make me laugh. Or at least chuckle to myself.

But the overwhelming comedy force behind this movie is that Black kid. He's f@ckin' hilarious!! That muthaf@cker was saying some f@cked-up X-rated $hit!! Every time he was on screen, I shamelessly waited for him to say something crazy. Crazy thing is, he usually did. Humor has gone downhill. Kids are our new potty-humor mules. F@ckin' pathetic. But I love it!!

Pretty good raunchy movie with heart. Not in Apatow's league, but maybe right under Kevin Smith's. I give this movie two dysfunctional guys with two dysfunctional kids making a mockery of a mentoring program that I know works 'cause while I was taking a $hit one day, I looked up and saw a picture of someone I know who's actually doing some good in the program. Potty-humor, I tell you...

MAN...I gotta get this movie on DVD...I should have said okay when Dave suggested we buy it...I'll buy it as a surprise for him when he comes home. I HATE stupid movies but I LOVED this one for some reason. I like the McLovin guy...he was too much. And yea, Stifler usually just pisses me off in most movies, but I actually liked him in this one. Tash and I tried to see if it was on on-demand when we came home yesterday but unfortunately it wasn't. Her aunty bought it for them, though, so at least she got to go home and fill her Role Models jones...I'm going to get it today.

And no lie, they only put the BBBS pic of me and Tash in girl bathrooms, huh? What you was doing in the girl bathroom? Lol. BTW...they need more Big Brothers...hehe. Come on, Uncle Jay...
