Trivia:
At the end of the outtake real on the DVD, Paul Rudd tells Elizabeth Banks that she 'tastes like a burger'. He says 'You taste like a burger' to her in Wet Hot American Summer (2001), also directed by David Wain. She then tells him, 'I don't like you anymore', another line said by Rudd's character to Banks's character.

I have to admit I enjoyed ROLE MODELS more than I care to admit. The story is predictable and the formula is the same as many films of this ilk. It's a hard R rated film for good reason. Lots of raunchy dialogue and the F word is used to extreme. The trobulesome aspect is that there are so many child actors in the film which they can't even see. The most troublesome is the filth coming out of the mouth of a young boy. Where is parents on the set? Why would they let their young son use such language? Hope they were paid a lot of money. The acting by Rudd and Scott were above par, and the two young boys were also good, even the young one with the filthy mouth. Poor Elizabeth Banks was wasted in this one. Such a beauty she is.
