Tried to see Role Models this week. Was sold out. Only playing on one screen. Was sold out nearly an hour before the movie was to start.
Never trying to watch a new movie at that theatre ever again. It is always crowded and smelly and full of fuckwads.
So I can't talk about Role Models but I can talk about that Kevin Smith movie some more and Run Fatboy Run. Because they share some similarities.
Both are about losers trying to do something with their lives (which seems to be a recurring theme with both Pegg and Smith, and most of what I write).
I've lost most of my thoughts.
That happens a lot.
Fuck.
The porno one is way more potty mouthed.
The Fatboy one does a real good job of stacking the odds against the protagonist. Maybe too good a job. Pegg seems like a weak jerk. If this was my first exposure to him, I don't think I would be nearly as big a fan of his. They have to introduce an evil plot by the anaogonist pretty late in the game to try and level the playing field. The last act feels a bit forced.
Same with that there porno one. The conflict between the two leads seems to come out of nowhere.
They both have weak third acts. Is what I am trying to say.
This didn't come out near as good as I thoughted it would.
