Role Models plays loose and easy, but not to the point of being lazy.

Role Models could have been another formulaic comedy, fresh off the assembly line. Instead, the work of Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott here is worthy of praise and one of the funnier films this year.

If there's any justice, Role Models will see Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott propelled to the status of comedy Gods.

This is an obviously contrived plot, but the script, co-written by Rudd, director David Wain, support actor Ken Marino and writer Tim Dowling, is packed with great jokes...

Rudd and Scott aren't stretching any new muscles, but Rudd's glum disaffection and Scott's bozo bonhomie do gel with a satisfying stickiness. They handle the gaping innuendo with such delicacy we know that they know they're better than this.

Role Models follows a well-worn path, but thanks to a sure-footed cast and crew, it doesn't just go through the motions.

A formulaic movie can be lifted out of its built-in rut by making it look like it invented the formula. Almost everything works here.

Rudd, who co-wrote the script with director David Wain (among others), clearly learned a few things working on Judd Apatow comedies.
