Blandly offensive (or perhaps merely offensively bland), We're the Millers squanders its potential -- and its cast -- with an uneven, lazily assembled comedy.

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

Stays mean and maintains a bit of an edge even when it threatens to go all soft and gooey.
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.
Though incredibly predictable from start to finish, "We're the Millers" did make me laugh.
'We're the Millers' clicks on just enough cylinders to warrant a recommendation.
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.
Excessive improvisation and scrappy plotting let down an able cast.
A likeable comedy that uses its greatest asset, its talented, funny cast, to good effect.
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.
There's very little about the film that rings true.
We're the Millers is way funnier and entertaining than it should be.
Has humor and heart but it is covered up with rude, crude language and endless streams of profanity.
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.
Funniest comedy of the Summer.
Offering some chuckles along the way, the film delivers exactly what it promises - a crass Hollywood tall tale about drugs, sex and family - with a glossy ending. And some questionable outtakes
Instead of fun there is a labored desperation to obvious plot devices and clich� humor
We're the Millers too often settles for the tried and true, taking the easy way out when being bold would have better satisfied the audience.
There are a few inspired scenes strung together by miles of filler on this road trip, and a pretty bull---- resolution ending.
