Featured reviews
I have to admit I didn't expect to like this movie as much as I did. I laughed during the whole movie and truly didn't notice how did the time pass by. For me this is the best American comedy I've seen in the past couple of years. Very well directed, very good cast. The movie is very casual but at the same time so full of content. I can't come up with any flaws in it. It was not gooey like you would normally expect. Jennifer Aniston was just marvelous as always. I also liked Will Poulter very well.
I recommend the film to everyone, not only comedy lovers (I'm surely not one of those).

If you've seen enough movies you know exactly how this is going to end a few minutes in, so the fun is watching how they work the plot towards that conclusion.
It's an enjoyable movie with humor that sometimes made me cringe and other times laugh out loud. Jason S. is typecast in this role, but he has good screen chemistry with Jennifer A. The two kids play their roles well, the boy maybe too well.
If you like sexually charged humor, or want something to tune out with, I can recommend it. The biggest compliment I can give it is saying I hope they make a sequel.

As far as comedies go this is certainly one of the best I've watched over the last few months. It is an interesting combination of characters which work really well together. You've got the drug dealer, the geek, the stripper and the runaway (who in my opinion is more of a rebel than anything else).
The story itself isn't the strongest element of this movie, however in my opinion Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston and Will Poulter all deliver a really great performance.
As funny as Ed Helms is in 'The Hangover' I feel the script didn't really allow for his character to emerge as much.
Overall I really enjoyed watching this movie and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good laugh.

"We're the Millers" is a stoner comedy, except better than that because it's written as a family comedy - well, inappropriate family comedy. Oh, and it's actually funny. All of the main and supporting actors keep bringing the jokes so you can over-look the ridiculous plot. David (Jason Sudeikis) is still a pot dealer, even though he's 20 years past college.
Two teens in need of parental figures screw up his simple drug-dealing lifestyle and now he has to smuggle a load of marijuana across the border. A fake family should be the perfect cover to fool the hapless border guards. He hires the two teens and his sexy neighbour, Rose (Jennifer Aniston), who is working as a stripper, even though she's more than 20 years past college.
The comedy builds slowly, but then a fake baby (let's call her Mary Jane) enters the picture and the laughs come fast and furious. Some jokes weren't as funny as they thought (their new friends' sex acts), but by this time our fake family has connected with one another and the audience, and their obvious ending can drive us towards the conclusion of the ridiculous plot.
Overall, "We're the Millers" is pretty funny, and if you're watching a stoner comedy, you should be pretty forgiving of any nonsense the plot throws at you.

I was skeptical because I don't much care for Jennifer Aniston but I love Jason Sudeikis so figured I would give it a shot and was not disappointed. Aniston plays the vulgar downtrodden stripper so well and don't get me started on the genius that is Will Poulter. Slow build up to about 30 minutes in and then I just couldn't get enough! Its not a unique premise, however it does give the viewer a sense of what a real family is: whatever you make it. I will personally be adding this one to my rotation.
And to the people giving 1 star reviews because they felt misled and brought their kids to the theater (and also to the ones ranting about morality: Its rated R for a reason, what did you expect?

- TriviaWill Poulter (Kenny) stayed up late while listening to "Waterfalls", by TLC, to have his character rap along in a scene involving the song. Poulter personally chose the song because he considers himself a hip-hop fan.
- GoofsThe Millers' RV is being towed with only a chain, so someone would have to be in the towed RV to apply the brake when necessary (e.g. on down grades, or when the lead RV brakes) or the Millers' RV would roll right into it.

Rose O'Reilly: You are making five hundred thousand dollars and you were only gonna pay me thirty?
Casey Mathis: You're making thirty grand? I'm only getting a thousand!
Kenny Rossmore: You guys are getting paid?
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: During the blooper reel, when Kenny is singing the TLC song, the Friends theme song "I'll be there for you" by the Rembrandts plays and all three characters sing it to Jennifer Aniston
