I prefer Paul Rudd in more loveable roles.
Jane Lynch steals the show, and I love her and Ken Marino getting the final scene of the movie for a teeny Party Down reunion.
Ronnie is definitely the intended scene stealer, but he was written to be too annoying. Bobb'e J Thompson executes it well, but they went over the top with the whole "young kid swears and talks about boobs" schtick, and it got old fast.
Role Models
They're about to get more than they plea-bargained for.

Overview
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.

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
