Another raunchy comedy that yields predictable, but fitfully entertaining results

Rating: 6/10 (12 December 2013)

This was a surprise hit in the summer. I can see why as well. It's got the raunchy humor that families can go and laugh at in the theater, and have a decent time. It's not that simple for me, though. I do enjoy comedies, I'm far from being picky, but this is among the slew of raunchy comedies that flow like wine these days. Is it funny? It does have its moments. It has plenty of penis jokes, along with lots of other crude humor. Some of it's funny, some of it is unfunny. One thing I'll say about We're The Millers, is that despite that I can't recall one time where I really had a huge belly laugh, I did at least smile, or chuckle during some of it. The incest kissing scene involving Kenny is probably the most outlandish and the funniest scene in the movie for me. I know they aren't a real family, but it was still pretty audacious. It's not afraid to push the envelope to try and get some laughs. The cast is clearly having fun. Jason Sudeikis is OK. I don't think he's that funny in my opinion, and I felt he got upstaged by more talented cast members. Jennifer Aniston is charming and fun to watch. It's not much of a stretch for her, but she's sexy and engaging. The scene where she strips to Sweet Emotion will definitely have guys going crazy. (It sure made me go nuts!) Emma Roberts probably has the least to do out of anyone, whilst Will Poulter plays his oblivious part as Kenny very well. Ed Helms is fun as well. There are far too many of these types of comedies coming out these days, and this is another one. It's not a laugh riot by any means, but considering how tired I am of the raunchy style, I actually thought this was better than most. It does have some chuckles at the very least.
6.1/10
Note: Be sure to stay for some outtakes at the end credits. The "Friends theme song" prank is hilarious
