  Roger the Dodger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roger the Dodger is a fictional character in a comic strip in the UK comic The Beano.
Roger's basic remit is to avoid doing chores such as homework, and this involves him inevitably in complex and ultimately disastrous plans, the undoing of which results in him being punished (usually by his long-suffering father).
Roger is also known to be absolutely dreadful at football.

 ROGER DODGER - DVD
Coming on the heels of a prologue wherein Roger has demonstrated his persuasive, misogynistic grasp of sexual politics to his dazzled peers, this tableau is the movie in a nutshell: with a man of such confidence around, all others are hatchlings hanging on his tutelage.
The film is subsequently about Roger passing a certain torch on to his visiting sixteen-year-old nephew, Nick (Jesse Eisenberg), and Nick fighting the occasional urge to extinguish it, as when he practices Roger's art of seduction on a couple of bar-hopping older women (the surprisingly sterling and authentic pair of Elizabeth Berkley and Jennifer Beals).
Roger Dodger is destined to become fodder for auditioning drama school students, but they should be careful, since it's Scott who, by making Kidd's words an unmistakable smokescreen for Roger's insecurities (a notion reflected not only in Roger's cigarette habit, but also disorienting camerawork), imbues the film's speeches with dramatic credibility.

 Roger Dodger (Movie)
Roger is so on that in his rare moments of repose, when he isn't dodging something or someone, he's practically diaphanous—he becomes his own hologram.
Roger is shown to be the true naïf, while Nick is wise beyond his years.
Roger is fond of saying that advertising makes people feel bad about themselves so they'll buy products they don't need; in the same way, his adman tactics with women are all centered on the put-down.

 Review: Roger Dodger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Roger (Campbell Scott) is a womanizer with ice in both his soul and his never-empty glass.
Roger may have regrets, but he is unapologetic about who he is or what he does.
Roger is the kind of man we should instantly dislike, but, because Scott plays him with such charm and instant affability, it's impossible not to root for Roger (or at least his redemption) on some level.

 Film Review: Roger Dodger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Roger Dodger, the debut film of writer/director Dylan Kidd, is an audacious, very funny modern sex comedy that jumps back and forth between sharp social satire and super-dark misanthropy.
Roger Dodger takes this formula further, straight past humor into dark social commentary- and for the majority of the film, it works.
Roger's life is complicated when he's visited by his teenage nephew Nick (Jesse Eisenberg), who arrives in New York for a college visit with the intention of learning from the master, his uncle, the finer points of seducing the ladies.

 Roger the Dodger
Roger is yet another Beanotown schoolkid who revels in putting one over on his parents and 'friends'.
But where the likes of Dennis and Minnie rely on menacing behaviour and the odd spot of fisticuffs, Roger is a bit of a coward, and instead relies on his wits and wiles.
When Nixon left the Beano in 1973, Roger the Dodger was taken over firstly by a copycat artist with rather mediocre draftsmanship (Tom Lavery, who also drew Oor Wullie at around this time).

Roger’s theories on the obtainment of women and writer-director Dylan Kidd’s script are both of the so-crazy-that-they-might-actually-work variety.
Roger teaches Nick that the element of surprise works both ways, as a method of getting into somebody’s pants and as the motivation to get there.
Kidd’s presentation of Roger owes a great deal to Neil LaBute’s In the Company of Men, but where that film was about as comfortable to watch as a trip to the urologist, there’s at least a tiny bit of hope for the title character of Roger Dodger.

When we first see Roger, he is both entertaining and appalling workmates in a bar with his "World According to Roger" philosophy--and this philosophy includes his views on women (bedworthy or not), relationships (short and they begin in a bar), and sexuality (Roger thinks he's a stud).
Nick seeks his Uncle Roger's advice about women and sex, and Roger is only too happy to oblige, and throughout the remainder of the film, Roger spouts his views and pontificates to Nick who is innocent and naive enough not to question his uncle's tried-and-true methods of picking up women EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
Roger is the self-proclaimed prophet of the "Gender Wars" and is determined to teach his naive nephew how to cope with the opposite sex.

 JamesBowman.net | Roger Dodger
The "theory" Greene was referring to was in the teachings of the Catholic church, but in Roger Dodger, a first feature by Dylan Kidd, it is the 30-something Roger (Campbell Scott) and not Nick (Jesse Eisenberg), his 16-year-old nephew and student in the arts of seduction, to whom the same description could apply.
The film begins with Roger holding forth to a table full of colleagues at the advertising agency where he works as a copywriter.
Roger and not Nick is the one who is desperately in need of instruction — especially in the matter of when to shut up.

"Roger Dodger" is about a man who refuses to learn anything about himself because he thinks he already knows it.
His 16-year-old nephew, Nick (Jesse Eisenberg), in town to look at colleges, wants Uncle Roger to teach him the ways of the lothario, and the two embark on a night of on-the-job training in bars and clubs, all as Roger delivers such advice as, "Your first instinct will be to tell the truth.
Mixed with this are scenes from Roger’s ongoing, failing attempts to maintain a relationship with his boss, played by the radiant Isabella Rossellini.

Roger has the ruthless misogyny required to be a player but he lacks the charm and the ability to make a woman feels she's bonded with him.
Roger Dodger (the title comes from a childhood nickname) is structured like a morality play in which Roger is knocked back for being a callous jerk while innocent, gentlemanly Nick impresses the girls by being himself.
Roger Dodger has enough good qualities to make it worth seeing, though it doesn't quite do justice to a great premise and you may wonder what a more mercilessly cynical film-maker like Neil LaBute (Your Friends And Neighbours) or Todd Solondz (Happiness) might have done with it.

 Film Review: Roger Dodger
Roger (Campbell Scott) is touching 40, still single, a copywriter at a successful ad agency, whose talent lies in chat-up techniques, the bum waste ramblings of a practised liar and the ability to take a girl to bed in 20 sentences.
He's a fun companion for a while until he overdoses on ego and the world of healthy feelings is contaminated by cynicism.
He takes Nick on the town to teach him the tricks of the trade, which becomes a lesson in insincerity and a victory of innocence over braggadocio.

This time around, it is Roger Clinton´s turn to carry on the family tradition and prepare to spend some time in the prosecutor´s hot seat.
Roger Clinton, through his lawyer, continues to maintain that "he has not received any money in connection with his efforts to recommend pardons," but veteran Clintonologists should take note: The Texas family has charged that Roger Clinton promised to get a presidential pardon for its relative, but didn´t try to do so.
If this charge is true, it might indeed be said that Roger Clinton didn´t receive money in connection with lobbying for pardons if, as is alleged in this case, he never actually did any lobbying.
