Film Review - We’re the Millers

Lewd and Clear

Film: We’re the Millers

Cast: Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis

Directed by: Rawson Thurber

Duration: 1 hr 50 mins

Rating: * *


            We’re the Millers is a crude, lewd comedy aimed at the lowest common denominator. Filled with gay and sexual ‘jokes’ (can’t even call them innuendos) and a plot smaller than a Boson particle, the film stars Jennifer Aniston and even though she is a popular actress I can’t think of too many memorable films she has acted in. He’s just not that into you was in 2009 and The Good Girl was way back in 2002. For obvious reasons the word over-rated springs to mind.
            In this film she plays a stripper and does a fair bit of stripping as well. Her neighbor David (Jason Sudeikis) is a drug dealer and after he loses his cash and stash, he is forced to go to Mexico by his boss to pick up a drug consignment. He comes up with this wise idea of taking a R.V and going to there with his ‘family’ which now comprises of the stripper, a vagabond girl (Emma Roberts) and a young man Kenny who happens to be his neighbor. Their trip to Mexico to get the drugs, smuggle them across the border and outwit the drug lords, that makes up for the majority of the story.
            In between there are plenty of expletives and silly gags. How loud, and if at all you will laugh, depends on what you find funny. If a spider sneaking into a man’s pants and biting his crotch is your idea of humor, then go ahead make your day. There is nothing terribly wrong with that kind of humor but if that’s the only kind of humor in the whole film then Houston, we have a problem.
