Movie Info

David Burke (Jason Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer whose clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kids-after all, he has his scruples. So what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms). In order to

It boils down to the idea that men and women alike yearn for what they don't have, and that making your way through life is about seizing the bizarre opportunities it thrusts at you.

a movie written by a committee, too long, but the cast carries it a long way, these mild virtues don't quite add up to a recommendation, but if you said you wanted to see it I wouldn't block the door.

Some of the jokes are funny. If one was to compile all the good snippets and scenes into a highlight reel, it might run about six minutes.

Though complete with a handful of funny and touching moments, ultimately We're the Millers is too predictable a film.

We're The Millers aims to shock, but the real kicker is that actually, it's not that bad. In fact, it's quite funny (though you may quietly hate yourself for laughing).

...the outtake that closes the proceedings, with the four principals of the titled "family" applauding and laughing at and with their certified star, Jennifer Aniston, once and always from TV's "Friends," might be the most memorable moment in their movie.

Jagged, always funny and fitfully hilarious, 'We're the Millers' is a comedy that will make grownups laugh out loud - maybe not as hard or as often as they did in 'The Heat,' but certainly enough to leave them smiling when they depart the theater.

Aniston provides the showstopping highlight as she homages Flashdance in an Aerosmith-scored sexy strip "clearly essential to the plot" of this edgier, adult version of RV.

Time to wonder if Jennifer Aniston's early career was a set-up for dirty-girl punchlines she's delivering now.... Wholesomeness and sitcom-clean language has been stripped away along with most of her clothes. Immodesty looks and sounds good on her.

By mixing raunchy laughs with genuine warmth, this pot-dealing comedy sparks up as a gag-filled surprise about the need for familial connection.

Pretends to be edgy and hip, but in reality is so conventional it makes an old Osmond Family Christmas special look subversive.

Certainties are few in this life, but you can take it from me: Though the movie listings might suggest otherwise, there's no such thing as Miller time.

There are a few inspired scenes strung together by miles of filler on this road trip, and a pretty bull---- resolution ending.

Audience Reviews for We're The Millers

All aboard the family road trip! The convoluted premise wants to be a variation on 1983's Vacation with Chevy Chase, but unfortunately exhibits the laughs of RV with Robin Williams. To add insult to injury, the comedy subtracts the love of them actually liking each other and sprinkles in enough F-bombs to make Martin Scorsese blush. If this were a movie depicting organized crime, I might not notice the language, but the film's combo of saccharine family devotion and vulgar situations is really off-putting. The tender moments the narrative tries to shoehorn in feel forced. These characters despise each other so it's unpleasant to be around them. You can't have these people flipping one another off one moment, then waxing poetically about how close everyone has become by the end of them film. As if!

We're The Millers is fun and funny but really nothing else. It has no real plot or story progression and extremely forced character development. But, why the movie actually works is because of the main actors and the way they handle the material they're given. They have very good comedic timing despite being in an uneven comedy. But all that isn't to say I didn't enjoy it. I had a few good laughs with it and walked out half-satisfied. It's not as good as This Is The End, but it's still a fun summer comedy. I'd like to see Will Poulter in more comedies, it seems like he has potential. Overall- We're The Millers is good for a few laughs (and Ron Swanson). Letter Grade: C+
