All USC students who are non-Cinematic Arts majors but who are either enrolled in a cinema class or would like to know more about the courses offered to non-majors are invited to attend a special preview screening of the new Universal Pictures comedy Role Models.

Following the screening, there will be beverages and desserts offered directly in front of the theater, as well as information about each department at the School of Cinematic Arts and the many exciting courses available for non-majors.

Reservations are required and will be strictly enforced, due to limited seating. The event will be overbooked to ensure capacity, and the RSVP list will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis, with no reserved seating. We will begin seating at 5:45 p.m.

Please bring a photo ID or printout of your reservation confirmation, which will be automatically sent to your email account after you successfully RSVP through the Web site.

If you are a current non-major student enrolled in a course at the School of Cinematic Arts, please use the RSVP code "current." If you are a prospective non-major student interested in learning more about courses offered at the School of Cinematic Arts, please use the RSVP code "prospective." This event is limited to current and prospective non-majors only.

There will be a raffle following the screening in Queen's Courtyard, featuring items from the film and special giveaways, including a new Apple iPod. In order to be eligible for the raffle, you will need to visit the information booths in front of Norris Theatre and collect raffle tickets.

About Role Models

Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott play Danny and Wheeler, two salesmen who trash a company truck on an energy-drink-fueled bender. Upon their arrest, the court gives them a choice: do hard time, or spend 150 service hours with a mentorship program. However, after one day with the kids, jail doesn't look half bad.

Surrounded by annoying do-gooders, Danny struggles with his every neurotic impulse to guide Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) through the trials of becoming a man. Unfortunately, the guy just dumped by his girlfriend (Elizabeth Banks) has only sarcasm to offer the bashful 16-year-old obsessed with medieval role-play.

Meanwhile, charming Wheeler tries to trade in an addiction to partying and women to help a fifth-grader named Ronnie (Bobb'e J. Thompson) redirect his foul-mouthed ways. It would probably help if Ronnie's new mentor weren't an overgrown adolescent whose idea of quality time included keggers in Venice Beach.

After the center's ex-con director (Jane Lynch) gives them an ultimatum, Danny and Wheeler are forced to tailor their brand of immature wisdom to their charges. And if they can just make it through probation without getting thrown in jail, the world's worst role models will prove that, sometimes, it takes a village idiot to raise a child.

Opens in theaters on Friday, November 7. Rated R for crude and sexual content, strong language and nudity.
