So what happens when a pot dealer (Jason Sudeikis), a stripper (Jennifer Anniston) a runaway (Emma Roberts) and a virgin (Will Poulter) pretend to be an ‘All American Family’ go on a marijuana run to Mexico in a very big R. V.?
Well, in ‘We’re The Millers’ directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, you have an extremely funny and very clever film.
Especially when you throw in an angry drug lord, a vicious tarantula, a pornographic game of Pictionary, and an impromptu sing-along…
Jason plays David Clark, a small town pot-dealer whose clientele included chefs and soccer moms. David has been dealing pot since college and you can definitely call him an ‘under-achiever’.
We know David has a good heart because early on in the film, he comes to the rescue of a homeless girl, Casey (Emma Roberts) and his teenage neighbor, Kenny (Will Poulter) who are being harassed by some local punks.
For David, this proves to be a very bad move. The punks steal his back pack containing his pot and $45,000 of his drug supplier’s money…
When his supplier (Ed Helms) finds out David has lost his money, he offers him a choice…David could either be killed or he can make a trip across the border to Mexico and bring back a ‘smidgen’ of weed.
Of course the later choice seems much more appealing than death. Now the only question is…How to do this run and not get caught?
Easy…All David needs is an All American Family. Afterall, who would ever think that an ‘All American Family’ would be pot suppliers?
David convinces Rose, Kenny and Casey to pretend to be his wife and kids.
And so ‘The Millers’ are born.
I absolutely loved the film and gave it 4 bagels out of 5. It’s filled with unexpected twists and turns, including a hysterical encounter with another ‘All American Family’ (Nick Offernan, Kathryn Hahn, Molly Quinn.
‘We Are The Millers’ opens in theatres, Wednesday August 7th and it’s a must see for anyone who loves to laugh.
