Who knew drug trafficking could be so hilarious...?

Rating: 7/10 (22 August 2013)

"We're the Millers" turned out to actually be a rather surprisingly nice comedy. I had initially just expected this to be another run-of-the-mill comedy that are found in abundance, but it turned out to be more than just so.
The story is about a small time drug dealer named David (played by Jason Sudeikis) who has his supply of drugs and money stolen from him. To pay off his debt to his supplier Brad Gurdlinger (played by Ed Helms), he takes on a drug transporting job to smuggle a smidge and a half of weed over the Mexican/American border. In order to not arouse suspicion at the border, David needs to blend in and decides to be an all-American family, complete with wife, son, daughter and RV. He persuades his neighbor Rose (played by Jennifer Aniston), who is about to get evicted from her apartment to play the wife. And to play his son, he persuades Kenny (played by Will Poulter) who also lives in the same apartment building. And as the daughter he persuades a run-away girl named Casey (played by Emma Roberts).
The situations that the 'family' finds themselves in are hilarious and they are so well constructed and there is a heap of laughs to be had throughout the movie. The dialogue is witty and lots of funny remarks and lines here.
The movie was really well cast and the people were doing great jobs with their given roles. And the characters in the movie were really nicely detailed and fleshed out; lots of dimensions and aspects to them and their differences were great together for situational comedy.
Once the movie has ended, be sure to remain seated and watched the bloopers and outtakes, because they are quite funny as well.
As a side treat for those guys who are fans of Jennifer Aniston - for the obvious reasons - then there is a special performance to witness in the movie... just saying!
"We're the Millers" is well worth a watch if you enjoy comedy movies. Usually the great weed/pothead comedies are far between, but "We're the Millers" is right up there at the top of the list with the 2010 "High School" comedy with Adrien Brody in it. "We're the Millers" gets a 7 out of 10 rating from me.
