Role Models was by far one of the funniest movies of last year. With its amazing casting, great writing and use of the untouched resource of LARP(Live Action Role Play) there was no way it could be anything less than hilarious. This non stop comedy doesn't hide behind anything, except for a shield and sword made of foam and duct tape. The creative and talented writing of its three writers(Paul Rudd, David Wain and Kevin Marino) really showed. The pairing of actors was also very well done. The dry sarcasm of Rudd with the nerd like personality of Christopher Mintz-Plasse and the funny/tough/cool guy image of Seann William Scott with the foul mouth attitude of Bobb'e J. Thompson were perfect matches. Although the story of two adults being forced into a big brother program instead of going to jail is entirely unbelievable, it's definitely a must see.
The DVD
The DVD offers a theatrical and unrated version.
Special Features
The special features include deleted/alternate scenes, bloopers and three featurettes. I was surprised though when I clicked on special features that I didn't see any commentary. Personally, I always look forward to the directors/writers/casts commentary and in this case it would have been especially funny. The bloopers are a bit short in my opinion, with the kind of cast it had I'm sure there was alot more laying around. The three featurettes on the other hand are absolutely noteworthy. The first is a standard behind the scenes short and offers a brief back story and some funny snippets. The second short is an in depth look at the development of the world of LAIRE that also provides some hilarious scraps. The third and last short is actually three seperate features of Matt Walsh's, Joe Lo Truglio's and A.D. Miles' charaters talking about themselves, really showing all of their quick improv talents.

Writer Rob McKittrick and Jeff Balis, except as director, team up for the sequel to 2005's Waiting. Right off the back I can say that this is not like most straight to DVD movies, it's actually good. It's filled with the dirty jokes and inappropriate comments that can only follow a movie like Waiting. Filmmakers did a fantastic job developing a new plot while keeping the same formula for comedy used in the 1st film and the incorporation of the old characters into the story without being a few quick corny cameos (alliteration unintended) was also well done. On the downside, the sequel and the original are practically identical. Although the plot is entirely different; characters, certain scenes and the idea of "the game" is. Thankfully though the comedy also copies over. Steve Howey's character Agnew acts as the clone of Ryan Reynolds character from the first. It's obvious that Agnew is supposed to be less of the like able jerk and more of just a jerk but it doesn't translate and you end up liking his mean, sarcastic attitude. John Micheal Higgins character Dennis is the current manager of Shenanigans after Dan left for corporate. I have yet to be disappointed by a performance from John Higgins and this is no different. My only problem is that his improvisational talent wasn't shown enough until you get to the DVD special features. Much like the first DVD this one provides an in depth featurette telling the story of how Still Waiting came to be, hilarious bloopers and intersting commentary from McKittrick and Balis.
