Like a cold dirty shower to your face, not a waterfall

Rating: 4/10 (7 April 2016)

It is pretty difficult to decide what the most embarrassing is about "We're the Millers". The choices seem endless. But I guess one great pick would be that it took 4 writers to come up with this piece of garbage. This film is basically everything you can expect when you read comedy and Jennifer Aniston. It is the same she has done for the last 15 years, maybe 20 if you count "Friends". For whatever reason, people still see her as America's Sweetheart and as a talented actress. I can agree with neither. She always plays the same characters. She has pretty much zero comedic talent (admittedly the horrible writing doesn't help either) and of course, in the end the male protagonist always falls in love with her because she is so funny, such a strong independent woman and so lovable. Well, I can describe her in one word: bland. Oh yeah and how could I forget: Of course, they make sure on several occasions how hot she is for a woman in her 40s so that we'd better not forget.
Speaking about the rest of the cast, with one exception, there is nothing special either. Emma Roberts and Will Poulter may have proved in other projects that they have talent, but here they don't. Hahn is pretty embarrassing, Helms is very forgettable and Offerman is really just in here playing his character from "Parks & Recreation", the ultimate manly man. The lead actor (even if Aniston is wrongly credited first) here is Jason Sudeikis and I can go easy on him. He has moments here when he shows that he is pretty gifted, especially with comedy and he certainly elevates the material. But it's just too weak for him to make this a good watch. The story is complete nonsense and unrealistic from start to finish during these 2 hours (that felt like 3). The movie has zero subtlety. The romance parts are cringeworthy, especially the kissing scenes at the end. And the drug-related drama is never tense or interesting. Imagine Breaking Bad as a comedy and with a terrible group of writers. This is what you get here. Do not watch.
