24.com Ivan Sadler There is nothing new here, but there are enough laugh out loud jokes to have you leaving the cinema in a good mood. | 10 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Role Models is the kind of movie you don't see every day, a comedy that is funny. The kind of comedy where funny people say funny things in funny situations, not the kind of comedy that whacks you with manic shocks to force an audible Pavlovian response. | 15 | |
eye Weekly Kieran Grant This is that rare middling comedy that figures itself out and gets better as it ticks along. Maybe wait for the DVD. | 10 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli Sadly, an injection of raunchiness does not equate to an increase in quality and, while Role Models can boast the occasionally funny joke, there's little else to recommend this derivative buddy film. It's disposable entertainment at its most extreme. | 10 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers Sometimes a shamelessly stoopid, proudly profane R-rated comedy is all you want out of life. Role Models more than fills the bill. It's killer funny. | 15 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Funnier and more charming than I imagined it would or could be, Role Models isn't anything great and it's certainly not for all viewers, but it surprisingly turns out to be fairly entertaining, meaning it has a good chance at surviving at the box office rather than being eaten up by the competition. | 11 | |
