We're The Millers has a lot to bait and hook audiences. The cast includes comedy alums such as Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Nick Offerman, Kathryn Hahn and Ed Helms plus the newcomers Emma Roberts and Will Poulter. The plot is compellingly comedic and the chemistry between the actors is spot on.
David Clark is living the life. Sure his next door neighbor/stripper Rose won’t give him the time of day and his downstairs neighbor Kenny is driving him crazy but he spends his days surfing on YouTube and dealing pot to run down mothers and bored business men. As an old college buddy says he "could disappear tomorrow and nobody would even know." Not in a bad way! Unfortunately that streak of good luck ends when his backpack full of drugs and money is stolen and he goes into deep debt with his supplier Brad. No worries though, Brad has a way for David to pay him back: trot down to Mexico and bring back a 'smidge and a half' of marijuana. Of course David looks just like a drug dealer so how can he become an international drug smuggler? By hiring Rose, Kenny, and a homeless girl to be his family and using an RV to transport the contraband. But this is no typical family vacation...We're The Millers does have a lot to bait and hook audiences. You will be drawn into the kooky plot with the equally kooky characters. You will laugh at the snarky lines, cringe at the awkward situations, and smile at the predictable but not corny family resolution. Now if you like the raunchiness of the R rated comedy romps then you will enjoy this movie. But if you're like me, the bait of this movie will be a little hard to swallow when you have the crassness of the hook sticking in your lip.
