This weekend I went to see a movie and only paid (gasp!) $7.00. That's because I was home in Palm Beach rather than (home) in Manhattan. It's a great thing when a movie ticket is cheaper than a beer in the city. A greater thing when is that movie is a memorable, quotable, belly aching laugh fest.
Role Models was great. Every actor played their part perfectly from Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd all the way to Ken Jeong as the dorky, arrogant King Argotron. I have to agree that Bobb'e J. Thompson was the stand out comic that stole the show. Of course McLovin' (as he will forever be known) played a great role as well and proved he can play a dork outside of school too.
There are literally Role Models posters every 50 yards here in New York and it's rather surprising to me that it only made 19.2 mil this weekend, a mere third of what Madagascar 2 made. That's two weekends in a row that stupid movies with flashy colors have beat out funny movies with great plot and lines. There's no doubt in my mind that Quantum of Solace will take the cake (and eat it too) this weekend, but let's hope it still reigns supreme when Bolt and Twilight come out on the 21st. Given the amount of giddy school girls out there, I'm betting it won't.
