Rated R for language, adult humor and sexuality

Starring Paul Rudd, Sean William Scott, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Bobb'e J. Thompson, Elizabeth Banks, Jane Lynch

Danny (Rudd) and Wheeler (Scott) work for an energy drink company and send their days speaking to kids about staying off drugs. After his girlfriend (Banks) dumps him and he realizes he's been in the same dead-end job for over a decade, Danny freaks out while on the job and gets him and pal Wheeler sentenced to 150 hours of community service working as Big Brothers to a pair of misfit kids, in order to avoid jail time. Danny is paired up with teenage Augie (Mintz-Plasse), who prefers to spend his time LARPing (live action role-playing) with others in a game called LAIR at the park, much to his jock stepdad's disapproval. Wheeler is paired up with young Ronnie (Thompson), who was raised without a father and has learned a lot of his behavior from MTV, video games, and rappers. As you can imagine, hilarity ensues.

The kids learn to embrace what they love and the adults learn to be adults. It was really pretty funny and a smart comedy. Paul Rudd wrote this one and did a great job!
