We're the Millers










We're the Millers... As the title & posters show the movie is lots of fun. The movie is perfect for 2 hours of dumb fun. There are some dirty jokes you can laugh out loud, keep in mind if you are an adult. I found it actually surprised that how funny the movie was. And no surprise that it is earning big at the box office...the movie deserves it.

Ok, the movie starts off with Jason Sudeikis who's still selling drugs for a career. He then takes a quite a crazy move to take a van full of drugs and sell them across to Mexico. For that he then creates a fake family to pose as he is going for a trip. Jennifer Aniston as a stripper , Will Poulter and Emma Roberts forms the family. On the way they care for each other in difficult situations, and end up as a family !.


On the performance side, the Jason Sudeikis character was the funniest I thought. He was hilarious as a drug dealer. Although Sudeikis doesn't have much experience being a leading character in a movie , with the help of great supporting casts he did really well. 

Jennifer Aniston.. Hmm.. What can I say ! She chooses such roles these days. Not a long while ago, she was in a similar role in Horrible bosses. She too has some hilarious situations in the movie which she did pretty well. Saying that, I like to see her in more character roles rather than stripers, seducer.. Etc... Also, her face looks weird. Emma Roberts as Casey was pretty good. @ 22, she looked like a teenager. The boy also fits in well.


As for the writers, Kudos to them. For making a regular subject/plot such interesting with full of jokes. There was never a dull moment in the movie. Saying that, I think they should have started the movie a little faster. It was a bit slow for a comedy movie. After such a start, I never thought there was this much to laugh in the middle. 

Ok so many pros.. Lets discuss through some cones. The one situation with nudity was totally uncalled for. And it was not funny. For that one scene, I would not recommend children watching this movie. They could have developed the story a little bit through the middle and at the end. It was too predictable at times. Who am i kidding !! The movie is meant for dumb fun and it delivers exactly that.

And one last thing, Make sure you stick around for the bloopers at the end... One such a scene right at the end will bring grin faces to all ''friends'' fans. Such a fitting way to end such a laughter ride.


Go for the Millers !!
