We are drug smugglers

Rating: 6/10 (14 January 2014)

National Lampoon's Drug Mule Vacation could be an alternative title as it has the vacation vibe.
A small time, nice guy drug dealer (Jason Sudeikis) is forced to smuggle drugs by his boss and lookalike (Ed Helms).
Sudeikis has the idea that posing as a happy family might not invite suspicion at the border crossing and persuades his neighbour who is a stripper (Jennifer Aniston.) A homeless teenager as his daughter and a nerdy boy (Will Poulter) to be his son and off they go in a RV.
The film is sporadically funny thanks more to Poulter although there does not seem to be much road comedy.
The plot comes to life after the drugs have been picked up with the predictable double cross. Then it becomes a chase film with the added bonding issues with the 'family'. After an abrasive start they seem to act like an actual family.
Sudeikis does comedy with his sarcasm. His character is supposedly a rebel but just looks like a nerdy slacker who never became a bank manager and has no business living in a low rent, rough neighbourhood.
Aniston does a few sexy scenes and there seems to be a budding romance between them.
British actor Poulter is the revelation who takes this film by the scruff of the neck and it is funny enough to make you laugh along the way.
