Some funny jokes some funny actors a bad script

Rating: 5/10 (22 March 2015)

We're the Millers is a movie which tells the tale of pot dealer,David (Jason Sudeikis) who is forced to go to more extreme measures in the drug trade after he is robbed and rendered broke unable to pay his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms). He is unwillingly forced to smuggle a large quantity of pot from Mexico back to his supplier. Doing so David assembles a team of misfits either through bribery or persuasion each with their own problems, to act as his family to make the whole plan seem as a family vacation. So basically everyone forgets about their lives in hopes of achieving wealth while risking a highly likely chance of death or incarceration, and so commences the plot of the movie.
While We're the Millers does provide a decent cast of funny actors including Jennifer Aniston, Will Poulter and Nick Offerman I could not help but feel as if Emma Roberts was either miscast or just uneven regarding her characters personalty which was the punk rebellious girl. There where many situations in which I doubted that the stereotypical punk would act that way whether it be because of her acting or the poor script. Jason Sudeikis's average Joe pot dealer character was not interesting or funny either, cracking a few sexual jokes from here and there it was evident that his character would never be fully developed.However seeing Will Poulter and Nick Offerman on screen was what saved the movie as they added a somewhat satirical and funny vibe to the film in the scenes that they where in. There are many jokes thrown onto this movie however many of them are lost in the poor script or the prolonging scenes rendering the jokes not as funny. The script is also poor riddled by numerous convenient unlikely situations permitting the progression of the film, there are very few "smart" ways the writers overcame situations and obstacles in this movie so they just took the easy way out and created improbable solutions. Eventually towards the end of the comedy as most comedies do an underlining theme or moral was brought up to make the audience reflect on themselves. For this movie it was the theme of family it was one of the dumbest and most improvised themes I have seen. MAJOR SPOILERS In the ending the fake family eventually becomes a real family forgetting the horrible lives they had behind them. While this ending would not be as bad if the bonding between the family members was more true and if David the pot dealer showcased more care for his soon to be new family.
