We're the Millers 2013


We're the Millers     David Burke makes a living as a low-level pot dealer.  When he tries to prevent the theft of Casey's phone and he’s the robbery victim instead.  He makes a deal with his supplier to pay back his debt by bringing in more marijuana from Mexico.  He has the idea that a family traveling in a motor home would not draw suspicion and they wouldn’t get caught.  He asks rebellious Casey to play his daughter since she was the one being robbed of her phone.  He asks his neighbor Kenny to play his son because he was kind enough to point out to the thieves that David was a drug dealer.  He also asks his neighbor Rose to play his wife, she refuses and later changes her mind to get money for her rent.
     The premise is different but it’s wasted and doesn’t pay off.  This film is rude, vulgar, the jokes are not funny and not much else is funny either.  I didn’t expect much and I was not disappointed.  I’m surprised at the 4* and 7.1 reviews?   2 ½* (This movie is so-so)

119 min, Comedy directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber with Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Ed Helms, Will Poulter, Emma Roberts, Nick Offerman, Kathryn Hahn, Ken Marino.

Note:  Blockbuster 4*, imdb 7.1 out of 10, 47% critic 74% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
