Total laugh riot, up there with Hangover

Rating: 8/10 (23 January 2016)

I watched this movie on DVD at home and I was recently recovering from Pneumonia which caused me pain every time I laughed, changed breathing, burped and hiccuped -- and this was totally the WRONG movie to watch. I laughed so hard and uncontrollably I was literally in pain. Every situation is drop-dead hilarious that this movie should come with a health warning.
What makes this so hilarious is the genuinely funny plot and the situations; a drug dealer, a stripper, a virgin and run-away hobo girl pose as a happy American happy family(father, wife, brother, sister) and hire out a mobile home/family van to smuggle drugs across US-Mexico border. A million things can go wrong course, and they do, but they are not what you expect! The real comedy is in the situations our lead characters get themselves into and you think "Now, are they are going to get themselves out of that"
This is also a road trip movie and so it has a lot of character bondings over the trip, and as a nod to it more tender moments, the ragtag family actually comes together as a real family at times and it is believable because the cast bounce of each other so well.
The comedy is strictly adult and relies heavily on explicit verbal sexual humour and bad language, and to some this might be offensive, but I felt in this this case toning down the sex and bad language quotient would have worked against the characterization; our characters are straight of the street and uncouth. It makes one for one comic situation when they are getting on a plane(as a family) and relax their pretence. This also in turn plays a into a group character arc, as we see what the family was like at the beginning and what is towards the end.
Last time I laughed this much was in Hangover.
