Role Models
They're about to get more than they plea-bargained for.
Directed by David Wain
Produced by Universal Pictures, Relativity Media
A high-energy buddy comedy about two cynical misfits forced into mentorship, discovering unexpected warmth and connection through absurdist humor and genuine character growth.
Two salesmen trash a company truck on an energy drink-fueled bender. Upon their arrest, the court gives them a choice: do hard time or spend 150 service hours with a mentorship program. After one day with the kids, however, jail doesn't look half bad.
