We're The Millers ***

Rawson Marshall Thurber directed this Comedy. Watch Preview. Cast: Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Emma Roberts, Nick Offerman, Kathryn Hahn, Will Poulter, Ed Helms. Rated R for crude sexual content, pervasive language, drug material and brief graphic nudity. Running time is one hour and fifty-minutes.

A small-time pot dealer (Sudeikis), forced to become a big-time drug smuggler, puts together a fake family (Aniston, Roberts, Poulter) to fool the border drug authorities.

This is the kind of film mainstream critics love to hate, but you shouldn't take their comments too seriously this time. There's nothing particularly innovative here but the pleasure comes from watching a very good cast turn a script into something quite enjoyable. Aniston comes across very well, blending attributes of a sexy stripper with those of a caring mother. Sudeikis doesn't have quite the same range as Aniston but he's good in this role. The supporting cast is very good. I watched this with my wife and we both laughed and chuckled throughout. There is a lot of profanity and a brief scene of male frontal nudity you should be aware of if that sort of thing bothers you.  The film is a few minutes too long but the pacing is good enough to keep you from being bored.

There is a selection of outtakes right after the end title and before the credits. Screen size will be relatively unimportant but you'll laugh more with a large crowd. Theatres/Times.
