also, this is subjective, but the running "jaime pressley is smokin hot" joke in the film, when the female lead is RASHIDA JONES? O_o maybe, if you are racist, jaime pressley is the hotter lady.

O SO MAD!!!! >:[
rudd's dude was overly sincere was the problem i think, it robs him of his essence to not be a little cynical/hateful, too many "i love you so much you pretty lady!" kind of romcom lines that i have to wince at as a rule, but segal was great in this and i thought it was cute if a bit cutesy at times.
had read there was not a lot of improvisation here and it shows.

also i could rly relate to paul rudd's inability to leave a message on voice mail because that is how approximately 96.71% of my messages sound of ppls phones

schef, I went into it really expecting to laugh at least once. Found nearly all the Rudd stumblebum cutesy stuff way too self consciously look-at-me, not funny.
Some blogger said the writers learned everything they knew about men from beer commercials. Thw women were all cardboard cutouts.
Did none of these folks expect the goodwill gesture of Andy Samberg playing a "regular guy" gay would be wiped out by horrific "eww my mouth tastes like the homo who kissed me, I better use Comet" gag? I gagged.

Role Models was funnier to me than anything up there since Clueless, and he wasn't old enough in that to be as funny as he is now.

I bet "the goodwill gesture of Andy Samberg playing a 'regular guy' gay" is a totally hollow gesture unless we get to see Samberg wrapping those pillowy lips around some other guy's face.

sounds like 'i love you, man' should have been directed by david wain.
(btw i watched role models over the weekend, so great. whoever said that the outtakes were the best was right, like paul rudd and elizabeth banks kissing for the last scene and busting out the old "you taste like a burger/i don't like you anymore" bit)

Yeah I complained about this in my review, though I went with a gay friend who found that scene unfunny but not homophobic.
― Simon H., Monday, 23 March 2009 15:15 (fifteen years ago) link
i get why youd read that subtext into that scene but i thought they made it pretty clear that it was the taste of cigarettes not the homo kiss

oh come on, the cigarette taste is mentioned 3-4 different times in a 2-minute scene. it wasnt ace ventura, thats for sure.

i have to admit to a soft spot for those crappy neil labute cruel-privileged-people movies. it's pretty indefensible but, c'mon, that ending of shape of things is so lol. his career has really taken a turn for the nutty btw:

I kind of miss the early days of the Daily Show when they would get Paul Rudd as the guest any time the real guest had to drop out for whatever reason.

Our Idiot Brother would've been great, if it hadn't had the "happy ending for everyone" Hollywood ending. It was still okay (and Rudd was indeed endearing in it), but it was no Role Models.

Tuomas as Francesca Fiore and Bruno Pontz Jones in a Kids In The Hall sketch: "They would never kill hero in American movie, ah? No. With them, it's always the happy ending. Always the football player throw the ball for the big win, ah? Yes. Always the puppy, licking the face."

I saw Our Idiot Brother last night and it was pretty nice (the "slight" assessment above is in the right direction though, but I don think that's a real problem)but that end scene where they talked about the candle recycling is one of the funniest things I've seen in a comedy film in years.

Tuomas, I'd say Role Models suffered worse for the forced happy ending.
