I grew up in the 80s and 90s. Comedies were so great back then. I would actually laugh out loud at scenes from movies back then. I honestly don't know what happened!!! I haven't seen a good new comedy in I don't know how long. "We're the Millers" is no exception. It's just average. I didn't laugh or smile once. Not even when Kenny's ball blew up like a ballloon from a spider bite. Comedy's today (and I hate how old this makes me sound) seem to try way too hard. Everything is forced. Real comedy is natural. "The money pit", "Madhouse", "Night Shift", and "Bachelor Party" are a few of the good ones from back in the day. Most comedy from today highly relies on stoners, bodily fluids, bodily sounds, vulgarity, fast talking, and ridiculous dialogue. Horrible Bosses is one that relies heavily on ridiculous chatter and none of it is funny. The only good thing about "We're the Millers" is Jennifer Aniston and her ridiculous, but sexy strip tease scene. She's beautiful and I've been a fan since "Friends", but I haven't enjoyed any of her comedies from film sadly. We're the Millers is a generic copy of every other comedy film in recent years. A rating of 5 is being generous.

Let's say you can buy into a nearly fifty year old Jennifer Aniston as a stripper.Maybe you can even buy a forty year old Jason Sudeikis as the hip drug dealer who dresses like a Dave Matthews fan.Then you can probably buy that when they pretend to be a family their kids are almost thirty.They go from ridiculous parodies of old people trying to be cool to actual old people with very old children.I guess that makes sense in some other dimension.While the premise and plot are very thin, there are some good jokes in here.There's a stripper with a tattoo over her box that says "Boner Garage".That's comedy gold.Ed Helms is hilarious as usual and Nick Offerman is very disappointing as usual.The worst thing about this movie is the very long and totally unnecessary campground scene.It has nothing to do with the story and turned a good 90 minute comedy into a two hour test of your movie watching ability.I guess what I'm trying to say is that this movie is very average.If you never see it you have two hours to watch something else.If you do see it, you probably won't be angry.

I watched this movie on network TV and therefore experienced a lot of f-word bleeps and genitals blurred but it was still an enjoyable several hours.Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston were hilarious as "the parents" and Will Poulter and Emma Roberts were spot-on as "the children." Nick Offerman, Kathryn Hahn, and Molly Quinn are perfect as the Fitzgeralds. Hollywood is always smart to get its casting just right and then let the actors run with the parts - and that happens in this movie.The premise is clever and calculated to keep you laughing from start to finish. If you want a movie to enjoyably pass a few hours but don't want to have to think too critically about character motivation and plot logistics, then you can't go wrong with "We're the Millers."

The movies is awful.The plot was quite original especially for Hollywood kind of stories. You know what you pick up a dumb easy comedy movie.However with this one you get waaay more than expected can be expected from the trailer. The cast is weak, there's basically no chemistry (that can be seen especially in bloopers). I was looking for easy fun while smoking but it didn't provide even that. Most of the jokes went absolutely flat during the delivery. One funny irony noticed during the movie is that they deal in huge amounts of marijuana and no one smokes. At any point in the movie. That was original, except for the rest of the movie is all typical romcom cliché one after another. And when you think it cannot get any more dumb, it does and not in a good way. It is not even the kind of movie that it so dumb its funny. Unfortunately this one is just dumb. The romantic part of the movie is also annoyingly bad follows the usual cliché , but somehow always at the wrong times. The movie might be good to study Hollywood clichés and see how they don't just magically work , they need pacing timing and acting. Awful movie with misplaced cast and awful cliché filled plot, how the hell did they managed to go out with it.
