Review: We're the Millers

We're the Millers (2013)
Directed by: Rawson Marshall Thurber

This last week I went to see the movie We're The Millers.  We're the Millers is a comedy starring Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston.  We're The Millers is the story of a drug dealer who when put in a tight spot convinces a Stripper(Aniston), a runaway(Emma Roberts), and a nerdy neighbor(Will Poulter) to attempt to smuggle a huge amount of marijuana across the Mexican border.  In order to get past the Border Patrol without drawing too much attention to themselves they pose as a loving family.

This movie is very predicable as far as the story and plot points.  You will see exactly where it's going to go before the story gets there.  It follows the same formula as every other film about a 30's something slacker who is forced to interact with a family type group.  The slacker becomes a better man because of his family... BLAH BLAH BLAH.  That being said I was surprised at how many laughs I got out of this movie given it's predictability.  This movie has a lot of "WHAT THE HELL?!" moments that will have you rolling in your seats.
