We're the Millers (2013)

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I grew up in the 80s and 90s. Comedies were so great back then. I would actually laugh out loud at scenes from movies back then. I honestly don't know what happened!!! I haven't seen a good new comedy in I don't know how long. "We're the Millers" is no exception. It's just average. I didn't laugh or smile once. Not even when Kenny's ball blew up like a ballloon from a spider bite. Comedy's today (and I hate how old this makes me sound) seem to try way too hard. Everything is forced. Real comedy is natural. "The money pit", "Madhouse", "Night Shift", and "Bachelor Party" are a few of the good ones from back in the day. Most comedy from today highly relies on stoners, bodily fluids, bodily sounds, vulgarity, fast talking, and ridiculous dialogue. Horrible Bosses is one that relies heavily on ridiculous chatter and none of it is funny. The only good thing about "We're the Millers" is Jennifer Aniston and her ridiculous, but sexy strip tease scene. She's beautiful and I've been a fan since "Friends", but I haven't enjoyed any of her comedies from film sadly. We're the Millers is a generic copy of every other comedy film in recent years. A rating of 5 is being generous.

We're the Millers (2013) This is a comedy about a small-time pot dealer who convinces his neighbors to help him by pretending to be his family, in order to smuggle drugs from Mexico into the United States. It stars Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Emma Roberts, Nick Offerman, Molly Quinn, and Ed Helms. The movie received mixed reviews, but was a huge box office success. The film was nominated for several awards. A sequel is rumored to be in the works. This is your average comedy with some cheap gags. It's a little Smokey and the Bandit meets Vacation. It's worth a watch on if you're looking for a good laugh and not much more.

Whatever contract Jennifer Aniston signed that wound her up in the unequivocal flop Just Go with It must have tied her to this piece of trash. Granted, I actually sat through the entire movie, so it is better than her Adam Sandler creation.The premise is terrible. If Jennifer Aniston hadn't been in it, I never ever would have seen it. The tagline: "A veteran pot dealer creates a fake family as part of his plan to move a huge shipment of weed into the U.S. from Mexico." Included in the fake family is a stripper as the mother, a runaway girl, and a teenage virgin boy. I have a problem with this. The label "virgin" is an insult now? This teenage boy has to act like an imbecile, just because he isn't worldy wise? And for that matter, not having sex doesn't make you unwordly, just as having sex doesn't bestow you with common sense. During one scene, the "family" is listening to the radio, and a rap song starts. The idiotic virgin starts rapping along. He knows all the lyrics, and the rest of the family is awed and impressed. It's supposed to be funny, but I found it offensive and even racist.If you like really stupid, off-color comedies that basically promote drug use, you might find this funny. Just one last question: who told Jennifer Aniston it was a good idea to play a stripper? Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to the drug content, I wouldn't let my kids watch it.

Let's say you can buy into a nearly fifty year old Jennifer Aniston as a stripper.Maybe you can even buy a forty year old Jason Sudeikis as the hip drug dealer who dresses like a Dave Matthews fan.Then you can probably buy that when they pretend to be a family their kids are almost thirty.They go from ridiculous parodies of old people trying to be cool to actual old people with very old children.I guess that makes sense in some other dimension.While the premise and plot are very thin, there are some good jokes in here.There's a stripper with a tattoo over her box that says "Boner Garage".That's comedy gold.Ed Helms is hilarious as usual and Nick Offerman is very disappointing as usual.The worst thing about this movie is the very long and totally unnecessary campground scene.It has nothing to do with the story and turned a good 90 minute comedy into a two hour test of your movie watching ability.I guess what I'm trying to say is that this movie is very average.If you never see it you have two hours to watch something else.If you do see it, you probably won't be angry.
