Review: Role Models

Role Models isn't a bad film, just a pretty unoriginal one with the feeling you've seen all this stuff before.

This sense of deja-vu comes from the cast playing it safe and doing exactly what has made them famous in the first place - but just not quite as funny. Paul Rudd does his dead-pan nice guy thing (Knocked Up, I Love You Man - but not quite as funny) even when his character is supposed to be a bit of a dick, whilst Seann William Scott does Stifler (American Pie - but not quite as funny) and Christopher Mintz-Plasse does McLovin (Superbad - but not quite as funny)

I've not seen Bobb'e J. Thompson as Tracy Jr in 30 Rock yet, but you get where I'm going with this...
