Run of The Mill(ers) Comedy

Rating: 6/10 (31 August 2013)

We're The Millers is a typical summer comedy. The first half starts out poorly paced, gives little time to establish anything but roughly sketched out characters, and its crude, stereotypical jokes simply fail (and not just because they're crude but because the acting and direction is hurried and poorly conceived). The actors simply seem to be going through a routine. At this point it seemed to be a good idea for a movie gone typically awry. Once the Fitzgerald family enters the movie though, things begin to pick up and there are some genuinely funny (albeit mostly predictable) moments. Overall, the film is decent enough to pass some time.
