Dressed in a bull suit, he pumps up the crowds with his overblown antics. Wheeler, a charming but crude optimist, loves his job, which amounts to driving around to grade schools and high schools hawking energy drinks to kids while urging them to stay off drugs. The early plot revolves around two energy drink pitchmen-Danny (Rudd) and Wheeler (Scott)-who are at different places in their lives. Actually, now that I think about it, it's perhaps the most likely of places to find comedy. Think about a bunch of civilians dressing up in padded armor, carrying blunt weapons and staging a Medieval Times-style brawl against one another in a community park. This holy trinity of funnymen has whipped up a comedy in the least likely of places: live action role-playing (or LARPing), the likes of which happening here is the medieval equivalent to Civil War re-enactments. The latest and perhaps most on-point example of this refined humor is Role Models starring Paul Rudd (the Apatow connection), Sean William Scott (returning to American Pie form) and Christopher Mintz-Plasse ("I am McLovin").
