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

With jokes cloned from bad taste movies and off-kids-telly villains, it doesn't even qualify for dumb fun.
Top CriticStays 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.
More like We're the Fillers. Despite having a half-decent premise, this generic American comedy squanders every single one of its comedic opportunities.
Naturally, there are roadblocks galore -- but the breezy film stays one mile ahead in terms of plot and punch lines
...a promising comedy that ultimately succumbs to the worst and most needless conventions that Hollywood has to offer.
Then there's the idea of the primped and plastic Aniston playing a stripper, perhaps the least realistic portrayal of a sex worker since Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman."
While We're The Millers is far from a superior comedy, it's also funnier and more enjoyable than you're probably expecting.
It's worth pondering whether the target audience will be able to grasp that the moral here - that crime does pay, as long as you're funny - isn't meant to be taken seriously.
It's predictable, politically incorrect and too long - but a handful of really big chuckles excuse most of the cop-outs.
Often funny but not extravagantly or consistently so.
A movie with a solid comedic concept at its core but one that is forced to go through the necessary motions until it rolls to a stop.
A very rude road movie prone to too many second-gear kangaroo jumps ( ... ) but [Will Poulter] is sure to be dining out on the fun of his kissing education for years.
Consistently amusing but never uproariously funny, this comedy plays it relatively safely by gently subverting our expectations of Aniston and Roberts, while making rising-star Poulter the butt of most jokes.
The central conceit is well established, the comedy is often impressively sour and the four leads complement one another beautifully.
It's consistently funny, the characters are a hoot and the anticipated family "bonding" is quite touching and doesn't interrupt the flow of big laughs.
The script development is funnier and more ingenious than you might expect, and the actors have the comic timing to pull off most of it.
It's a goofy road movie with some nice gags.
This is a fine collection of cheap and sleazy jokes, well-told ...
Reason No. 34,075 to legalize drugs: it would eliminate painfully unfunny comedies like this one. Comedy shouldn't make you pity the comedians.
Enjoyable road-trip comedy with likeable characters, strong comic performances and a decent number of laughs, though the tone is uneven in places, particularly when leering over its female lead.
It's Miller time.
Audience Reviews for We're The Millers
Super Reviewer
"We're the Millers" is a concept comedy that works great because of it's cast, not the concept. The concept is kind of bland. A drug dealer(Jason Sudeikis) has to go to Mexico to retrieve drugs to make up for the drugs he had stolen. In order to get across the border he hires a "family" to travel in an RV with him. There's the nerdy virgin son, the homeless reckless daughter, and the stripper wife(Jennifer Aniston). Together they all pretend to be the Millers, a wholesome American family. Sudekis is absolutely hilarious, as he usually is. He has some awesome one liners. Aniston is fantastic(that strip tease scene is awesome!), and the kids are great. Especially the boy, when he raps "Waterfalls" by TLC, it is comedy gold! The casting was just dead on perfect for this. This isn't the best comedy of the year, but it's darn near close. I can see there being a sequel, and if the cast remains intact, it could be pretty special. Very funny movie if you're in the mood for some killer R rated laughs.
