Role Models is a Must See DVD

By Patrick Daniels

Paul Rudd is at the top of his game right now. The movie revolves around a mid life crisis of a 30 year old but brings it into a more humorous light and highlights a couple of his poor life choices a long the way.

Sean William Scott also stars in this hilarious film. Scott plays a character that loves to party and slacks off at work. They both travel from school to school and talk to students about the danger of drugs and alcohol. At the same time they are promoting the energy drink that they work for. Rudd finally realizes what a hypocrite he is and has a breakdown after a breakup between him and his girlfriend (Elizabeth Banks).

Rudd and Scott get arrested and end up having to do community service at a place that gives role models to kids. The kids that they end up with are sort of outcasts who really need help from them. It is clearly a learning experience on both ends.

The DVD release and the Blu-ray release are packed with extras, all the stuff that you have come to expect. A directors commentary with some stuff from Rudd and Scott, it doesnt shed much light on what was going on during filming, but they are entertaining enough to listen to. There are the standard deleted and extended scenes as well as trailers for upcoming releases.

The making of segments are the most fun and seeing the actors interact behind the scenes is fun. The two kids in the film, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Bobbe J Thompson are hilarious as the two needy kids that Rudd and Scott are assigned to. They do a great job of holding their own against the older actors, with Bobbe stealing most of the scenes that he is in. - 2361
