Movie Thursday - Role Models
From website:
Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd star in Role Models as Wheeler and Danny, two salesman 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 hourse 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 every neurotic impulse to guide Augie (McLovin from Superbad) 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 redirect his foul mouthed ways. It would probably help if his 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 throught probabtion without getting thrown in jail, the worlds worst role models will prove that, sometimes, it takes a village to raise a child.
