Damn, I'm sorta depressed now...did I mention how incredibly funny this movies is? It's one of the best written comedies I've watched in years.

I was expecting a lot of out Role Models. I thought it was one of the worst comedies I've seen in awhile. It was entirely formulaic, the jokes weren't funny, and Paul Rudd was just moody and down the whole time.
Oh...:)
Maybe it was my unrated version. I like filthy jokes.
I finally got around to seeing this movie. I absolutely adored it. Sure it was formulaic, but it was funny. It's nice to see actors in a comedy not trying too hard *COUGHJACKBLACKCOUGH* to be funny. Rudd was wonderfully understated as usual, and McLovin played his part very genuinely -- not trying to be a Screech-like uber geek but just someone who happens to enjoy a geeky hobby. Gee, I wonder if I liked it so much because I could relate.
Glad you liked it too, Paul. I've now seen it twice, which is rare for me. I loved it that much.
