It's funny; know what i'm sayin'???

Rating: 7/10 (28 August 2013)

Wasn't expecting a lot from this one; i knew it would be funny but i didn't expect to enjoy it as much as i did.
Story is basic and simple enough, a drug dealer (Jason Sudeikis)-due to a bad turn of events- has to turn to smuggling in order to repay a debt. He enlists the help of a stripper (Jennifer Anniston), a dense virgin (Will Poulter) and a homeless rebel (Emma Roberts) to create a fake family in order to accomplish that. And from there chaos ensues.
It is full of quick witted, snappy one liners. Hilarious scenarios and added to that a real feel good factor pops in and out of the film. As i said i had an inkling it was going to be funny, due to Jason Sudeikis. He just has this ability to make you laugh by doing anything; a facial expression, his delivery, his timing. He, for me, is the star of the show as David Clark. But that in no way takes away from the rest of the "family"...well 2 of them anyway. Jennifer Anniston is excellent as Rose; she's funny, wild and does a good job at keeping up with Sudeikis' lightning fast wit. And as for Poulter's role as Kenny; well if ever there was an actor cast perfectly for a role, this may well be it; flawless display. Roberts' role as Casey was good, but it didn't come close to the other 3. Ed Helms, Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn are all great as well.
A solid feel good comedy packed with hilarity (and also the 5/10 minutes of regrettable, but inevitable soppy moments).
7.5/10
