Role Models - 2008 - David Wain
I feel bad about this.
But I didn’t intend to go see Role Models.
I wanted to see Slumdog Millionaire, but I couldn’t find anyone to go with me.
But I’m glad.
Role Models is a film in the same league as School of Rock,
but without Jack Black
(I think Jack Black is great, but I know he rubs a lot of people up the wrong way)
Funny guys hanging out with funny kids.
It’s always going to work.
But Role Models’ finest achievement is making real-life fantasy war games look cool.
I wish I went to the park on Wednesday afternoons,
fought people with swords,
wearing a tunic resembling the flag of St Alban.

If only I had the time, and the friends, to do it.
Forget World of Warcraft. Get REAL. Fight people with REAL swords.
“How did they get it so wrong? Role MODELS, should have been about MODELS.”
