The two are arrested and are given a choice, jail or join a mentorship program called Sturdy Wings run by an ex-criminal/drug user Gayle Sweeny ( Jane Lynch). When on one bad day, Danny is dumped by his girlfriend Beth ( Elizabeth Banks) and he crashes the company truck on a sugar-high bender. "Role Models" tells the story of two energy drink employees, Danny ( Paul Rudd) and Wheeler ( Seann William Scott), they travel from school to school promoting anti-drug campaign while selling their brand of drink to the youth market. As I watched the film I couldn't help but think that there was something missing, a spark between co-stars, some ingenious improv etc. Seann William Scott isn't as funny as expected and his pairing with Rudd just doesn't work here. This is the case with "Role Models" a comedy that falls a little flat mainly on the backs of its stars.
Check out the scenes in "Knocked Up" (2007) and take out Seth Rogen and cast a lesser comedic performer and I guarantee the scenes wouldn't have come off as funny as they had. However, I believe Rudd is only as good and funny as the quality of his co-stars.

I've always liked Paul Rudd as a comedic performer, his role on "Friends" (1994-2004) was likable enough and his supporting roles in a series of Judd Apatow productions further showcased his talents.
