On Nov. 15, the Fox Theater in downtown Bakersfield had the setting for perhaps the most colorful concert I have ever attended: The B-52s. Evoking the spirit of the whimsical band, some concertgoers showed up in colorful wigs, flamboyant clothing and '60s-inspired makeup.

A crude comedy with sentiments about helping kids may seem uncomfortably inappropriate, but in "Role Models," something so wrong went right. As far as raunchy comedies go, "Role Models" was off to a solid start when Wheeler (Seann William Scott) was dropped off by a hot chick, shoved his finger under coworker Danny's (Paul Rudd) nose and asked, "Guess what I did last night?"
