We’re the Millers
Low grade dope dealer David (Jason Sudeikis) finds himself in a rough spot after he’s robbed of everything he owes his boss, Brad (Ed Helms). To pay off his debt and pocket some extra green on the side, David concocts the idea of smuggling a considerable amount of Marijuana into the country using a motorhome all the while hiring unlikely faces from his neighborhood to pose as his family– the Millers. The catch is that his “wife” Rose (Jennifer Aniston) and his “son and daughter” (Kenny Rossmore and Casey Mathis) have all bit off more than they can chew; instead of doing the job as proposed, it turns out the Millers are actually robbing a major cartel kingpin. Comedy ensues, now to get back into the U.S., make the drop, and survive; and what’s this about love in the air?
While not a total dog, We’re the Millers seems to have fallen prey to a rough case of “Trailer Giveaway Syndrome,” an unfortunate malady that will leave viewers with little left to look forward to in theatres, stale writing and sluggish pace don’t help this predictable comedy attempt. Still acting from the ensemble all feels all right, and bit parts from Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn round things off nicely. Perhaps a rental? We’re the Millers is rated R.
