Movie review – “Role Models” (2008) ***

Buddy comedy which tickled the public fancy – partly, I would guess, because it’s reassuring to women: you know that dopey dissatisfied guy who complains about his job all the time? And that good looking but sleazy guy always chasing tail? Well, down deep they’re just nice blokes who want to commit and have children. It also has two well cast stars, Elizabeth Banks giving solid support (she’s giving Drew Barrymore a run for the money in the believably-attracted-to-dopey-guys stakes), and an impressive array of support characters who seem to be having fun, and doing a lot of ad libbing.
