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.
