When I first saw the trailer to Role Models, I thought "Damn, another Sean William Scott film?", but after seeing the movie, my opinion has changed somewhat. It is, of course, a SWS-film, but he doesn't take the lead in this one. Not really, anyway. The lead goes to Paul Rudd, who mostly appears in comedies much like Role Models, such as The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up

The story is about two guys, Danny (Rudd) and Wheeler (Scott, best known as American Pie's Stifler), who represent an energy drink to high school students, when Danny gets dumped by his girlfriend Beth (Elizabeth Banks, Zack and Miri make a Porno) and loses it, crashing the company car and pissing off pretty much everyone he comes to face with in the process. As result, both Danny and Wheeler face either jail time or community service. Since they're both fond of their anal virginity, they opt for the community service, which turns out to be 150 hours clocked with Sturdy Wings, a programme in which 'lonely' children ("Littles") are each teamed up with an adult (their "Big") to become friends.
Naturally, they get teamed up with two of the worst kids available: Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Superbad), who is a social recluse and only interacts with others when he's at L.A.I.R.E., a LARP-themed event, is teamed up with Danny while Wheeler has to cope with Ronnie (Bobb'e J. Thompson, Land of the Lost), a foul-mouthed little racist who hasn't been able to keep a Big around for longer than a day.
At first, this leads to the necessary uncomfortable moments between the adults and the kids, since Danny and Wheeler don't really want to be there and Augie and Ronnie are pretty impossible to get close to, but eventually a relationship builds up between the teams and through the obligatory montage we get to see the friendship grow, when all of a sudden we get the inevitable screw-up moments. After that, it's up to the Bigs to save their reputation. Whether they manage to do so or not is for you to decide.

In my opinion, Role Models suffers from what I call the "Superbad Syndrome", in that it starts up pretty badly, but manages to save it's own ass in the end and eventually becomes a pretty enjoyable film.
Both Rudd and Scott play their parts as if they were playing themselves, Rudd as the cynical dumpee and Scott as the party animal (which, surprisingly, doesn't get annoying this time), and the relation between the two works pretty good.
The same goes for the chemistry between the oldies and the younguns, which is fairly believable, as far as adult-kid friendships go.
A special notion goes to Jane Lynch (Julie & Julia), who plays the addict-gone-straight manager of Sturdy Wings. Her performance as the trying-to-be-cool tough chick is unparalleled, yet gets on your nerves to no end. Bravo to that.

All in all, Role Models is a pretty standard comedy, much like What Happens In Vegas and Wedding Crashers. In fact, it is basically Wedding Crashers with some kids thrown in. Add to that some decent one-liners (The one about the Minotaur-suit cracked me up) and you have yourself a fun film to waste an evening on. Don't pay too much though.
