Role Models (2008)
8/10
Vaguely reminded me of Grandma's Boy/40 Year Old Virgin
8 April 2009
Im a huge fan of Sean Willian Scott, so i decided to see it.

This movie strangely had the feel of Grandma's Boy meets 40 Year Old Virgin....with the obsession with Role playing/sword fighting and Sean's obsession with going after women and getting laid, and their refusal to grow up.

The movie had plenty of funny moments, usually with what seemed like quite long periods between those funny moments.

However near the 3/4 mark the movie REALLY seemed to pick up and peaked. I was originally deciding on a rating of 6 or so, but as the movie got closer towards the 3/4 mark, it just got SO funny with the whole "roleplaying" parts and some of the funny awkward moments. I was laughing so hard it hurt at that point, so i hadda bump it up to an 8 rating.

It's got a really good positive message too, which is to do what you love, no matter what anyone else says about it or you. (as if there isn't enough movies with a similar plot)

The story line was actually very boring and seemed to hold a really dull feel to it, yet in this movie that seems "okay" for some odd reason. The cast really brings it alive with the random heavy cursing scenes and occasional punchlines which i've yet to hear in any other movies that i can recall.

It's not a super quotable movie, however its Definitely got a few good ones in there....so it works out okay.

It's basically a movie with a dull story line, but the movie has so many awkward and blatant heavy language on and off, and with the whole "role-playing world of warcraft" scenes or whatever you wanna compare it to.....the movie is just awesome....
