Paul Rudd finally gets a strong comedy leading role, thanks to Role Models.
And there are a number of reasons why it deserves a far wider audience on DVD.
Firstly, theres Paul Rudd.
Firstly, theres Christopher Mintz-Plasses live action role-player Augie.
And then, enter stage left, Bobbe J Thompson as the foul-mouthed ten year old, Ronnie.
Pick us up in two hours, asks Rudds Danny.
Fuck you, Miss Daisy, Thompson slams back with the delivery and vitriol of a seasoned pro.
He will, if youre in the right frame of mind, bring tears to your eyes.

But then theres more.
Mintz-Plasse doesnt hitSuperbads McLovins standards here, but hes still in good form.
Whatever he does next, Im watching it.
Role Modelsisnt perfect, mind.
Plus the humours not going to be everyones bag.
Its also approximately three trillion times better thanYou Dont Mess With The Zohan.
Both video and audio are middle of the road, and entirely sufficient for the film theyre presenting.
The extras fare much better though, kicking off with a solid commentary from director David Wain.
But its not there where your attention should be focussed.
Youre a comedy genius in the making…
