A typical dysfunctional family comedy descends into a giant pit of debauchery in We’re the Millers, a vulgarity-laced road trip that offers some laughs but often missteps that are comic-worthy.
The story begins when debt-ridden drug dealer David (Jason Sudeikis) is asked by his supplier (Ed Helms) to smuggle a “smudge” (which eventually turns out to be a huge pile) of marijuana across the border. forced to Concerned that if he travels alone he might be seen and exposed, David devises a scheme to hire a fake family. His neighbor, struggling stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston), poses as his wife, while their children, runaway teenager Casey (Emma Roberts) and their apartment building’s Kenny ( Will Poulter) has a misfit child. They are Millers, and together they set off on an RV trip to Mexico and back again, smuggling two tons of drugs into the United States.
Things obviously don’t go as smoothly as David might have hoped, and they predictably run into problems that are usually more funny than amusing. The premise is ripe for some dark comedy, but instead director Rawson Marshall Thurber and his writers chose to go the obvious, formulaic route. Although the plot often takes absurd turns, you’re never in any doubt where this road trip is going. Character arcs take exactly where you think they will. Obligatory romance and heart-warming moments eventually add up as the film stumbles, often mistaking crude oil for acidity along the way.
Badass characters struggle to be likable. Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston are no strangers to the genre and both appear on Autopilot. British actor Will Poulter is well cast as the awkward Kenny and perhaps the most sympathetic character in the film. Ed Helms plays the eccentric drug lord with gusto, though he never comes across as believable. And Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn are shoehorned in for convenience and get some laughs as the Fitzgeralds, a couple on vacation with their daughter Melissa (Molly Quinn) who befriend the Millers on the road.
Its uneven script and predictable plot prevent the film from feeling interesting or fresh. None of this, however, means the film won’t make you laugh – it may or may not. Humor is notoriously subjective. Realism is not necessary for comedy. Also, numerous films that rely on crudity have done well at the box office, which means they clearly have an audience. We’re the Millers is aimed at a niche audience who will enjoy its frivolous action, but it’s unlikely to appeal to everyone. It is not a film with clever writing and award-worthy acting or direction. And it could have easily used a more thorough edit that could have eliminated some of the slower, weaker moments in its 110-minute running time. Still, you can be entertained if you don’t go in with too many expectations, and fans of its cast members are more likely to forgive its many flaws. Enjoying crude humor is a must to enjoy this film. Not expecting originality or complexity will also help. And if you watch We’re the Millers, make sure you stick around for the outtakes before the closing credits, which provide some of the film’s biggest laughs. What, then, does it say about a film when its funniest scene is in a gag reel?
