We're the Millers

After his stash is stolen, small-time Denver drug dealer David Clark (Jason Sudeikis) is desperate to avoid the wrath of his distributor/buddy (Ed Helms). When he's offered $100,000 to smuggle marijuana across the Mexican border, David decides his best disguise is to be an RV-driving father with an all-American family. So he recruits Rose O'Reilly (Jennifer Aniston), the stripper-next-door, along with nerdy, naïve neighbor Kenny (Will Poulter), and Casey (Emma Roberts), a sullen runaway. Hobbled by a hackneyed script, director Rawson Marshall Thurber's We're the Millers features a stereotypical drug lord (Tomer Sisley), his henchman (Matthew Willig), and a horny cop (Luis Guzmán). Although as a strait-laced Christian couple whose marriage could use some sexual spice, scene-stealing Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn add much needed humor. Unfortunately, each would-be subversive set-piece in this formulaic road trip is utterly predictable, as is the sappy conclusion. Optional, at best. [Note: DVD/Blu-ray extras include an extended cut of the film, deleted scenes (16 min.), outtakes (8 min.), the production segments “Living It Up with Brad” with costar Ed Helms (4 min.), “Miller Makeover” (4 min.), “Road Trippin” (3 min.), “Getting Out of a Sticky Situation” (3 min.), “Extreme Aniston” on costar Jennifer Aniston (2 min.), “Don't Suck Venom” (2 min.), “I Am Pablo Chacon” (2 min.), and “Rolling in the RV” (2 min.), as well as a “When Paranoia Sets In” gag featurette (3 min.), a gag reel (3 min.), trailers, and an UltraViolet copy of the film. Exclusive to the Blu-ray release are bonus DVD and digital copies. Bottom line: a solid extras package for a disappointing comedy.] (S. Granger)
