When they get in a fight with a tow-truck driver, they choose community service over jail and are assigned to be big brothers - Danny to Augie, a geek who loves to LARP Live Action Role Play , and Wheeler to Ronnie, a pint-size foul-mouthed kid. After a rocky start, things start to go well until both Danny and Wheeler make big mistakes. Can the two men figure out how to change enough to be role models to the boys?

Alternate versions Unrated Version Includes 8 cuts and 2 using alternative footage, total difference is min. User reviews Review. Top review. Refreshingly good natured comedy. You just have to read beteween the lines. Danny Paul Rudd has a bad day on the job and drags his loyal but dim-witted buddy Wheeler Sean William Scott down with him. Danny is a 'Red Bull' style energy drink spokesman, Wheeler is the guy in the bull suit that jumps around beside him.
In the same 24 hours Danny loses his girlfriend, license and job. In reality he starts by losing the girlfriend Beth Elizabeth Banks , and his subsequent tantrum and stupidity sees him lose both license and job and sees him teetering on the verge of imprisonment. Somehow guilt by association sees Wheeler in the same predicament. Service in the form of helping disadvantaged and troubled kids for a company named 'Sturdy Wings'. This shakiest of premises: allowing unreliable young men to mentor impressionable young boys, sets the scene for the slap dash stuff that follows.
Miraculously enough though the threadbare premise is held together by enough jokes and amusing moments to make the thing worthwhile, largely due to the continued comedic stylings of one Paul Rudd, and the strength of the various supporting bit parts on display throughout.
When allotted their respective 'littles' Danny and Wheeler are 'bigs' by Sturdy Wings boss and recovering alcoholic Sweeney Jane Lynch we immediately see where this is going. He scores 16ish Augie Christopher Mintz-Plasse , a medieval-style role player who is intensely insecure when not in character, and intensely-intense when he is. The female athletes are handpicked professionals and mountain-addicts, such as we are at Blue Tomato. The Shades of Winter project is one of the most interesting initiatives on the freeskiing scene.
The professional attitude and highly set goals for this movie gives all the riders an opportunity to express themselves as skiers on the highest level. It is definitely something that will lead to many good things. When passion meets fascinatino and performance, spectacular things happen. Shades of Winter and its unique protagonists not only convince on the mountains but also with their personality.
The project offers the exclusive opportunity to learn more about the person behind the athlete and the close friendships that were born around the world. This approach enables Shades of Winter a characteristic and exceptional profile and strikes a new path.
Likewise BMW does with its freeride engagement. The new BMW X1 and the intelligent all-wheel drive system supports the Shades of Winter protagonists during their world tour and is the perfect companion to find the best snow on exceptional freeride hot spots. While there are certainly winners out there like Girls Trip or last year's Bad Moms , many of this year's comedies such as Rough Night , Snatched , and The Hitman's Bodyguard underperformed with critics and audiences alike.
With a decreasing appetite for R-rated comedies on the silver screen, it doesn't seem likely that a follow-up to Role Models will ever materialize -- regardless of how much we may want to see it. These days, the core premise of a film like Role Models feels like something that would be made on the small screen instead of the silver screen. The film centers on two losers Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott who find themselves forced to do court ordered community service time working for a big brother program.
That said, there's no accounting for star power. In the years since the original Role Models first debuted in theaters, Paul Rudd went on to achieve even greater stardom with his work as Ant-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
With that amount of clout, it's possible that they could pull a Super Troopers 2 and crowdfund the film through fan enthusiasm. Just don't count on a major studio going all in on the project.
