Before he even meets Wheeler, Ronnie is into drawing pictures of oversized penises. Not surprisingly, the two egg each other on throughout the movie. Wheeler is a full-grown walking hormone, and Ronnie is a pint-sized one. But-as per usual in this oft-used storyline-investing time in trying to change a young life eventually gets to them, and they are changed as well. Danny can see why this cape-wearing, sword-wielding swashbuckler has a hard time making friends-and he’s not sure he wants to become the first.Īt the outset, Danny and Wheeler aim to rack up as many hours as possible with their littles, simply so they can check the box mandated by the judge. What he doesn’t know is that in this grown-up delinquent, he’s met his match.ĭanny’s assignment, Augie, is a sci-fi geek who would rather live in the contrived world of his favorite role-playing game than in the real one. He’s dispatched eight mentors in six weeks and is determined to do the same with Wheeler. Wheeler’s “little” Ronnie is an impossible 10-year-old who goes through “bigs” like some people go through energy drinks. They’re assigned to the Sturdy Wings program, where they’ll act as big brothers to a couple of, um, unique youngsters.Ĭrack addict-turned-social justice warrior Gayle Sweeney introduces them to their new buddies. He and his partner in crime, Anson Wheeler, manage to avoid jail time by serving 150 hours of community service. Still, it takes a very bad day, an unexpected breakup with his girlfriend Beth and a stupidity-induced run-in with the cops to make Danny Donahue confront reality. But when you’re 35 and you’ve been giving the same lame advertisement-disguised-as-anti-drug-pitch for a decade, you begin to wonder where your life is going. Being a spokesman for an energy drink, driving a tricked-out truck and giving motivational speeches to middle school students is a cool job when you’re 25.
