This movie had some good laughs but fell short of its potential

Rating: 7/10 (25 June 2015)

We're the Millers starts out as a really refreshing comedy. It felt like this had the chance to be a great, great comedy like Hangover but then towards the second half of the movie i felt it was weak. The first half i thought was some of the best comedy of the year because of the awkwardness between Sudeikis and his "family". Sudeikis and Aniston worked well together but it did feel weird to see Aniston as a stripper. The scene with the Mexican police officer was odd yet extremely funny. I thought Ed Helm's character was not really a good fit in this movie. The reason that this isn't as good as Hall Pass in my opinion is because the story slows down so much in the middle and towards the end and then finally picks up the pace again.
7/10 Got off to a hilarious start but couldn't maintain it. 2nd half of film drags on and on with no real direction. Many will like the characters in this movie but i didn't really like this cast as a whole. Overall, it deserves to be at least a 7 because even though lots of jokes missed, there were lots that hit as well. Also, some very intense moments that i didn't expect out of this film.
