The Wayward Bust

Rating: 6/10 (25 August 2013)

It took just one person (Geoffrey Chaucer) to write the original Miller's Tale; it took six people to write We're The Millers. Need I say more. Yes and no, actually. No, because no more needs to be said buy yes because it's a requirement of IMDb that comments run to a minimum of ten lines. Essentially this is our old friend the one-trick pony and once it's out there - a small-time dealer loses both his stash and his takings in one fell swoop; in order to avoid serious injury his superior proposes that he drive into Mexico and out again with a trailer full of drugs. In order to appear convincing he needs to recruit three disparate persons to pretend to be his wife and children - the best we can hope for is a few laughs along the way because we KNOW that this is yet another take on Much Ado About Nothing and that the ill-matched four will begin by despising each other and end up bonding into a 'real' family. As it happens there ARE a few decent laughs but there are also lots of failed attempts at laughs via scatology.
Don't say I didn't warn you
