Role models change and so does reality, thus taking cinematic truths to another dimension. So it comes as no surprise that the new comedy directed by David Wain alters the meaning of a well-known paradigm and turns it into an enjoyable scene populated with energy drinks-boosted nutty characters.

Throughout the uncouth opening of “Role Models,” Danny, played by Paul Rudd, and Wheeler, impersonated by a lovable Seann William Scott, drink greedily energy drinks, poke fun at a pre-teen and make vulgar jokes. Although the film sticks to the overused formula guy comedies have revolved around since the beginnings of the genre, the movie is saved by numerous raucously stupendous characters and by a wholesome sense of humor.

Danny and Wheeler work for a company that produces energy drinks and even though they have been co-workers and pals for years, they are separated by different approaches and attitudes. For instance, Danny is a permanently peeved, ironic chap who reads the riot act to Starbucks waitresses and continually challenges the doggedness of his girlfriend, Beth (Elizabeth Banks), while Wheeler is a nonchalant guy who dreams about sex all the time.

Nevertheless, the two taste trouble when they are sentenced to community service following a not-very-legal deed by Danny, who is assigned to mentor Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), a mortified youngster. Wheeler is given a similar task, as he is demanded to teach Ronnie (Bobb’e J. Thompson), an intelligent, but offensive teenager, some manners.

“Role Models” is sometimes sloppy, sometimes ludicrous and is repeatedly unashamedly raunchy. But the raunchiness is the one to spark some magic. It may be mesmerizing, you know, once you get into those bawdy jokes.
