It's Millers Time. This was a pretty Dope movie! It was a good trip!

Rating: 7/10 (6 September 2013)

I thought this was a pretty good movie! I have to agree with a lot of critics when thinking this movie should had gone raunchier with an R rated movie. It seem pretty tame for a Rated R film. Honestly, it seem like a PG-13 film. It could had been. I think the movie still work without the nudity, extreme violence, and gross out humor. It was still edgy enough. The movie was a high concept comedy with a lot of soft ball jokes. I think the characters were goofy and their interactions were fun, but once you got the characters this movie was the same joke over and over. There were some funny endearing moments that I did like, and I didn't mind some over-the-top edgy stuff that I found objectionable. The film is directed by Rawon Marshall Thurber. David Burke (Jason Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer who just got rob of his stash and his cash. Jason Sudeikis plays the role very smooth. While he is an unlikeable character, there is a bit of charm in him that get easier to deal with, as the movie go on. I like his quick quirks. I wouldn't say the character go to any character arch, because he was still a jerk by the end of the film, but at less he isn't the biggest one. By getting rob, this leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms). Ed Helm is a huge surprise for me. I never thought of him as a crazy drug smuggler. He somewhat steals the movie from everybody else. In order to wipe the slate clean, David must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brad's latest shipment in from Mexico by acting as if he is a family man. I do have to say, that some of the acting isn't that great. Jennifer Aniston as David's pretend to be wife, Rose is one of the less convincing strippers ever put on film. Not once does she have any of the stripper moves or attitude that I was hoping for this film, if any, she's like those mothers that take stripping classes for a feel. I would say she is pretty tame for an outlandish stripper. Also, if you came to this movie to see Jennifer Aniston's nude, then you will be deeply disappointed. Plus, you need a life. I have to say Will Poulter, as clueless good round kid, Kenny (Will Poulter) was pretty interesting to watch. The last movie, I saw of him was 2007's Son of Rainbow, where he plays a tough ass punk. In real life, this actor isn't that awkward. Total change from the norm. Talking about change from the norm, Emma Roberts as streetwise Casey wasn't too bad. I just wish her character had more to do. I do have to say the rest of the supporting cast wasn't that bad. The Fitzgeralds, consisting of Don (Nick Offerman), Edie (Kathryn Hahn), and Melissa (Molly Quinn), were interesting to watch. Molly Quinn is one hot lady, in my opinion. I think I felt in love, too. Nick Offerman was just great. The big jokes weren't that funny because it was so predictable, but the small jokes were just off the wall, funny. I didn't mind the dick and vulgar jokes. The skateboard drawing scene was pretty funny. Dumb sight gags are the ones that got me and are funny. I like the Orca eating the dolphin in the background, the funny big mug, and everything that Ed Helm did while talking on the phone. I did like the TLC 'Waterfalls' singing moment. It's family moments like that, that get to you. In my opinion, while they are not a real family, they really did seem like one. The other supporting cast who play a real family seem more fake then the Millers. Some critics hate the film due to its homophobic nature. The only thing I noticed was the main characters weren't very comfortable engaging in homosexual acts. Probably because they were straight. That's not homophobic, at all. So I don't get anybody logic in that. Another thing to note, a lot of critics hate it do to the weed promoting. While weed is throughout the film. None of the main character use or smoke it. I don't think it's promoting drug dealing at all. It's pretty much saying that dealing weed will end up badly for you. The Mexican drug war/drug trade is brutal with thousands of innocent people being killed in horrific ways on a yearly basis. Not to mention the destroyed lives on any number of levels. It's shows that there is negative side of drug dealing. I do have to criticize the ending. The ending was a bit of a disappointment as none of the characters really learn anything, and sadly wasn't punish for it. Well, it's a comedy, not a melodrama. I didn't care about the plot holes, like how the drug dealers were able to find the Millers so fast. So it was OK. In the end, We're the Miller was a good fun movie to watch that shouldn't be taken too serious. Just watch and enjoy.
