David Wain’s new film, “Role Models,” opening today, has a visibly predictable premise that may make viewers shy away from yet another stoner comedy.

But the brilliant characterization hidden between the sometimes offensive jokes and over sexualized dialogue transforms this otherwise run of the mill comedy into a heart warming and hysterical fall must-see.

The film is one of personal redemption and a pre-school-esque lesson about playing well with others.

Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott star as Danny and Wheeler, under-achieving salesmen who sell an energy drink as an alternative to drugs.

Being a stoner seems to be a requirement for comedic characters in widely released films now. However, these characters respectfully wait to roll their blunt until getting back into their monster truck and driving to the next capitalistic, caffeine-fueled, anti-drug crusade.

Though Scott’s character adds nothing new to his repertoire of lovable screw-ups, Rudd saves the duo from even more boring predictability by actually wanting more from his life.

This leads him to propose on a whim to his long time girlfriend, played by Elizabeth Banks, a wildly successful workaholic lawyer which suits Banks as an actress perfectly.

Hilarity ensues involving cops, tow trucks and pro-drug tangents in middle schools.

Danny and Wheeler are arrested and forced to befriend and mentor Augie and Ronnie, played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Bobb’e J. Thompson.

Though Ronnie, a breast obsessed gangster-wannabe living with his single mother, is cute and his sex dominated antics create humorous moments, Augie’s heart crushing awkwardness steals the show and carries it from borderline stupid to sweet and endearing.
