Hilarious comedy with a great cast

Rating: 8/10 (23 August 2013)

'We're the Millers' was a really enjoyable comedy which was full of laughs from start to finish. I had only seen the trailer once or twice and it didn't really catch my eye but I went for it anyway and I was pleasantly surprised at how much it made me laugh. It was 1 hour and 40 minutes but that time just went so quickly.
The plot was great and straight to the point. David Clark (Jason Sudeikis) creates a family as a disguise to help him pull off a huge drug smuggle. He finds a 'wife' (Jennifer Aniston) who is desperate for money, a 'daughter' (Emma Roberts) who is supposedly homeless, and a 'son' (Will Poulter) who is just an idiot who lives next door and is home alone with nothing better to do. The chemistry between these four characters really bought the film to life and they really did provide you with lots of laughs as the fake family, where it was all destined to go wrong but they got there in the end after some extremely awkward situations.
Jason Sudeikis was brilliant in the lead role and Jennifer Aniston (a stripper, :P) was almost as raunchy as she was in 2011 comedy, Horrible Bosses. But for me the star of the show was English actor Will Poulter, he was the one who gave me the most laughs and I think this will be seen as his 'break through'. He just really suited the role of the awkward teenage boy; his facial expressions were just brilliant. The supporting cast was also good and added even more comedy value, especially the Fitzgerald family who were just always in the way while 'The Millers' were trying to get back home. Then there was Scottie P who had a funny catchphrase. The characters were all extremely likable and 'The Millers' really did end up like a real family in the end which was quite heartwarming.
The jokes are crude, some parts are stupid and far fetched but this is a comedy and its meant to make you laugh, which it really does. I say sit back and enjoy this comedy for what it is and just have a laugh and enjoy yourself at their expense. I think this will achieve quite a high average rating on IMDb and for me it is one of the best comedies of the year (I rated it just over The Heat, which I gave an 8).
I would highly recommend this to anyone. This is a good solid comedy so well done to all the writers and to the cast for executing this to perfection. I would definitely watch this one again and will be buying the DVD when it is released.
Also, be sure to stay to see the gag reel in the credits, there is a scene which references to Jennifer Aniston's time in FRIENDS. This was really funny and showed just how much fun the cast had filming this.
9/10.
