Plots(1)
David Burke (Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer whose clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kids - after all, he has his scruples. So what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms). In order to wipe the slate clean - and maintain a clean bill of health - David must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brad's latest shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the arms of his neighbors, cynical stripper Rose (Aniston) and wannabe customer Kenny (Will Poulter), and the tatted-and-pierced streetwise teen Casey (Emma Roberts), he devises a foolproof plan. One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the "Millers" are headed south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a bang. (official distributor synopsis)

The cadence of the jokes and catchphrases is really killer in some parts, gotta give it that. I'd hate to rate The Millers as "a film with a tired theme that's perfectly crafted and acted", because I really had a great time the whole time, and it's actually very briskly shot – there are practically no dead spots. I kind of took the honeymoon under the fireworks and the pathetic speech about the family in front of the Mexican drug dealer with a grain of salt and it didn't affect my overall impression in any significant way. The Millers is a fresh comedy in the true sense of the word.

A funny and snappy comedy with a really likeable cast that doesn't did not avoid the classic clichés, but I had a good time, which is essential for a comedy, so the genre requirements were met. The funniest scenes were the one in the tent and then with the Mexican policeman. In short, a predictable but very entertaining film that benefits from the cast and hilarious scenes

If Clark Griswold was a drug smuggler, it would probably look something like this. A pretty good comedy without much awkwardness and with an excellent Jennifer Aniston. But it is far from the originality of The Joneses with David Duchovny and Demi Moore. Three and a half stars.

Except for a few requisite American clichés, a perfect comedy that I'll be happy to rewatch. Twenty years ago, I couldn't stand Jennifer Aniston. Now, I look forward to every film she's in. Her performance was excellent as expected, and even the rest of the cast was great. The theme and script were also fantastic. I had a great time throughout, and I think the whole film crew must have enjoyed themselves as well, you can tell from the film’s atmosphere.

An absolutely great comedy. I don’t know what to praise first, but I’ll probably start with the actors, where I’ll also stop for a while. They are really the best thing in this movie. I don’t remember actors in any movie making such an incredibly great team as in this movie. I have to start with Jennifer Aniston. I hope she never hears what I say about her now. I don’t know if she would like it, but on the other hand, why not. She’s nearing fifty here and is perhaps even more sexy than when I looked at her every day in Friends. And the fact that she’s working as a stripper only benefits her. I had heard that she would put on quite a show, which was one of the things that lured me to this movie. I was afraid that I’d be disappointed, but at the end of the movie she works it up so bad that my underpants got drenched with sweat. I can’t help it, she’s becoming sexier with every next movie she makes. Last time I had this reaction to her when she appeared in Horrible Bosses. But this film trumped that several times over. Add in Emma Roberts whom I also adore. I wish she stayed the same and kept making this type of movies – comedies and independent projects. I hope she doesn’t get trampled down by Hollywood, which could happen very easily. What is worse is getting back on your feet. And Jason Sudeikis and Will Poulter? I have to say that if I ever think about them, I will definitely remember this film first. We’re the Millers is really such a nice chill-out that you’ll want to come back to it multiple times. But from this review, everybody will certainly understand that when I return to it, it will be mainly because of Jennifer. Let’s be a little sexist here – with this movie, she just fulfilled a couple of guys’ childhood dream.
