We're the Millers Is Very Easy To Enjoy

Rating: 8/10 (15 August 2013)

It's not original. It's not something fresh. However it is something that is thoroughly enjoyable. "We're The Millers" Stars Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, and Will Poulter as a fake family on a mission to smuggle a "smidge" of pot from Mexico.
Their journey begins when David (Jason Sudeikis) gets robbed of his stash of drugs and money and becomes indebted to drug kingpin Brad Gurlinger (Ed Helms). As punishment and a debt settlement Gurlinger orders David to smuggle some pot he has located down in Mexico.
In an effort to look less suspicious David decides to create a fake family to cross the border with. In doing so he bands together a few misfits he normally encounters on a daily basis and thus we have "The Millers".
Jason Sudeikis is suitable as the films lead and is often effectively humorous. He fits the drug dealer role to the T and can also play the father figure in a believable fashion. His chemistry with his co-stars is high and works well.
Jennifer Aniston plays David's stripper neighbor whose life is currently down in the dumps. Aniston's body proves itself to be some sort of age defying miracle in this movie as the 44 year old plays an often scantily clad stripper in a bold, confident fashion that most 40+ women couldn't pull off. As far as acting goes she is also good, her raunchy-ness level is similar to how it was in horrible bosses and is starting to become a new trademark style for her. It works.
Emma Roberts plays her usual anti-establishment emotional girl and does it well like always. Thats her niche and she fills it well in all her roles.
Will Poulter is a relative new comer to my knowledge and gives what will probably go down as a breakout performance for him. He is often hilarious and is also the type of guy who is easy to root for. His character "Kenny" is one of the films best.
We're The Millers oozes cliché and formula. But they nailed the cliché and it works well. This film delivers from start to finish and very rarely sees a dull moment. It's funny, feel-good, and enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind a bit of vulgarity or cliché and is just looking for a good laugh. "We're The Millers" gets a B+.
