Role Models
Role Models is a 2008 American comedy film directed by David Wain, who co-wrote it with Timothy Dowling, Paul Rudd and Ken Marino. The film stars Rudd, Seann William Scott, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Bobb'e J. Thompson, Jane Lynch, and Elizabeth Banks.
The film follows two energy drink salesmen, Danny (Rudd) and Wheeler (Scott), who are ordered to perform 150 hours of community service as punishment for various offenses. For their service, the two men work at a program designed to pair children with adult role models.
Premiering on October 19, 2008, at the Austin Film Festival, Role Models was released theatrically by Universal Pictures in the United States on November 7. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and was a box office success, grossing $92.4 million worldwide against a $28 million budget. It was nominated for a Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Comedy.
Danny and Wheeler are salesmen who have been promoting the energy drink "Minotaur" for the last decade, supposedly to keep kids off drugs. Wheeler loves the job, while Danny considers it pointless and dead-end, making him depressed and jaded. Danny's attitude causes his relationship with Beth to collapse, who breaks up with him after his impulsive proposal.
After a botched presentation at a high school, Danny and Wheeler's Minotaur truck is towed from the no-parking zone. Danny tries to free the truck, crashing into a statue after almost hitting a security guard. They are arrested and charged. Lawyer Beth makes a deal with the judge: they must do 150 hours of community service over the next 30 days, in lieu of 30 days in jail.
Their service is with Sturdy Wings, a big brother-big sister program led by Gayle Sweeny, a recovering addict. Wheeler is given Ronnie Shields, a vulgar, precocious young boy who has driven away all the other "Bigs" he has been paired with. Danny is assigned Augie Farks, a shy teen obsessed with a medieval LARPG called "LAIRE" (Live Action Interactive Role-playing Explorers).
Danny does not find common ground with Augie, while Ronnie dislikes Wheeler. Danny considers giving up and choosing jail, but Wheeler talks him out of it for fear of possibly getting raped there.
Gradually bonding with their "littles"; Ronnie and Wheeler talk about having been abandoned by their fathers, while Danny learns about Augie's medieval fantasy realm. Ronnie hears about Wheeler's favorite band, Kiss, and discovers that Wheeler shares his obsession with breasts, which Wheeler teaches him to control. Danny and Augie bond discovering they are both involved in the Sturdy Wings program against their will. Danny joins Augie's LAIRE and tries to get back with Beth, who insists that they remain separated.
