Role Models
Directed by David Wain
Two salesmen 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 hours with a mentorship program. After one day with the kids, however, jail doesn't look half bad. From TMDB

positive · AI labelView post →Since Ragatha understood what Pomni meant by "LARPing" and she's a normie, AND since she entered the Digital Circus in 2008 (I think) I deduce that the has seen the film, Role Models.

neutral · AI labelView post →I got this movie way back on bootleg when I was like 15. Loved it then and I love it now at 33. It's such a feel good comedy that you can watch anytime. A "cozy" movie if you will. 😌 My ★★★★½ review of Role Models (Peacock) #filmsky #letterboxd

neutral · AI labelView post →Continued watching funny movies from 2008 featuring Paul Rudd. So yes, we watched ROLE MODELS. While not every joke has aged well, the movie is still pretty hilarious and has some incredible moments. Jane Lynch is gold in it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Role Models 🎬 Rating 6/10 Fun movie with some great moments, not as memorable as other comedies around this time or other movies featuring Rudd and SWS but solid. A textbook pass the time movie #MovieSky
neutral · AI labelView post →I think ROLE MODELS is the funniest movie of the 2000s
positive · AI labelView post →I always felt that Role Models was deeply under acknowledged as a film. Not to mention it’s peak Jane Lynch. 😂 #FilmSky
positive · AI labelView post →Hadn't seen it in years until tonight so it is worth mentioning that Role Models is truly a hilarious, sweet movie. Wish they still made comedies like that
positive · AI labelView post →Doesn't this remind you of Role Models? Hilarious movie!!
neutral · AI labelView post →In my imagination it happens in Role Models during something involving the LARPers, but honestly it could be any Paul Rudd movie because it’s such a Paul Rudd kind of line.
neutral · AI labelView post →Role Models is my go-to. Can't really go wrong with Paul Rudd, snarky children, and a whole movie about KISS without having to see Gene Simmons' stupid face.
positive · AI labelView post →Did some writing. My latest article, ‘“The Delight of Real Boys”: Male Role Models in the Silent-Era “Boys’ Cinema Weekly” Fan Paper’, is out now in Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television. www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1... @iamhist.bsky.social

positive · AI labelView post →C'mon at least watch the 2008 movie Role Models it had a whole plot about a kid LARPing.
neutral · AI labelView post →yeah I was thinking of Role Models, which isn't a remake at all. (haven't seen either film lol)
neutral · AI labelView post →Start with Shock Value (1981), that covers his early 60's film, and the 70's, basically the class stuff and if you like that, try Crackpot (1986), Role Models (2010), Car Sick (2014) & Liarmouth (2022).
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh I see! Increasingly I think in the UK there are a lot of people who have *tried* larp - not loads but I would bet most somewhat geeky friendship groups know someone who does Empire, for instance. People cite that film Role Models a lot? I think that made an impact on public perception.

neutral · AI labelView post →I know it's childish, but every time I see this Tyrants eye game, I think of the "whispering eye" line from the movie Role Models.
neutral · AI labelView post →I primarily recall this film now as serving as a laughline in ROLE MODELS.
neutral · AI labelView post →@im2insaine59.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGmy... Thank you for the RP! 🤗such a distinct sound. This Wings parody, from the movie Role Models, is one of the most clever underrated movie-length jokes ever. This song is the end credits. It’s delightful.
