Although it starts off with a lot of really cheap humor, Role Models picks up around the middle and provides a few good laughs. Seann Scott seems to always play characters whose names end in "ler," and he's never particularly amusing. However, many of the other actors do a good job, especially the little nerd and some of his cohorts. A lot of the cast of "Wet Hot American Summer" seemed to be present, which is good because there were some funny people in that film.
The humor aside, "Role Models" has a fairly interesting premise -- two guys are each forced to mentor a troubled child in order to fulfill some community service. There are a lot of stories you can write with that premise, and "Role Models" pulls it off fairly well. The plot is engaging enough, and the characters are developed well.
While "Role Models" is not really good enough to justify watching more than once, it's entertaining despite some of the cheap jokes and semi-predictable plot.
I like the song "Seventeen Years." Some of it can be repetitive, but there are some nice guitar riffs in there.
In a world of generic sandwich shops, Ike's offers a barrage of unique, original sandwiches. They have a number of specials that rotate every now and then. The atmosphere is very friendly, a pleasant break from the surly attitude you get at most places.
