'We're the Millers' is too bland to be entertaining
鈥淲e鈥檙e the Millers鈥� tries to be a more dirty-minded version of those old 鈥淣ational Lampoon鈥� family road trip movies. Jason Sudeikis plays a small-time dope dealer, Jennifer Aniston is his stripper neighbor, Will Poulter is a virginal teen living in his apartment building, and Emma Roberts plays a homeless punkette. In order to smuggle 1,500 kilos of marijuana across the Mexican border, Sudeikis鈥檚 character rents an RV and bribes this warring trio into pretending to be one big peachy-keen family.
Sudeikis reportedly did a lot of joke enhancement on the script (credited to multiple writers) but not nearly enough. Even tastelessness needs to have some taste. The blue humor in 鈥淲e鈥檙e the Millers鈥� is just bland. And yes, Aniston performs a (modified) striptease. That鈥檚 pretty bland, too. Grade: C- (Rated R for crude sexual content, pervasive language, drug material and brief graphic nudity.)
