Surrounded by annoying do- gooders, Danny struggles with his every neurotic impulse to guide Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) through the trials of becoming a man. Unfortunately, the guy just dumped by his girlfriend (Elizabeth Banks) has only sarcasm to offer a bashful 16- year-old obsessed with medieval role play. Role Models © 2008 Universal Pictures.

Meanwhile, charming Wheeler tries to trade in an addiction to partying and women to assist a fifth-grader named Ronnie (Bobb'e J. Thompson) redirect his foul-mouthed ways. It would probably help if Ronnie's new mentor wasn't an overgrown adolescent whose idea of quality time includes keggers in Venice Beach. Role Models © 2008 Universal Pictures.

And if they can just make it through probation without getting thrown in jail, the world's worst role models will prove that, sometimes, it takes a village idiot to raise a child.

REAL MATURITY HAPPENS IN RELATIONSHIP The story line is about two guys who refused to grow up until they were forced into taking care of a couple of boys who needed their unique brand of guidance. Role Models © 2008 Universal Pictures. Review © David Bruce

Way back in 100 BC Publilius Syrus said, “It takes a long time to bring excellence to maturity.” It was true then and it is still true. And yet at the same time your age is no guarantee of maturity. Our heroes in the film Role Models are young adults needing to be just that ―young adult. The film points to the idea that “growing up” happens in relationship. Additionally, it points to play as an essential part of this journey to emotional maturity. It has always amazed me how comedy films can have so much truth in them. Time + Relationship + Play = Maturity. Not bad, I like it. Review © David Bruce

MATURITY -Get On With It! “The great French Marshall Lyautey once asked his gardener to plant a tree. The gardener objected that the tree was slow growing and would not reach maturity for 100 years. The Marshall replied, 'In that case, there is no time to lose; plant it this afternoon!’” --John F. Kennedy Role Models Review © David Bruce

“When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.” -- 1 Corinthians 13:11 Today's New International Version Role Models © 2008 Universal Pictures Review © David Bruce
