We're The Millers (2013) 8/10

Starring : Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Emma Roberts, Nick Offerman, Kathryn Hahn, Will Poulter, Ed Helms
Director : Rawson Marshall Thurber
Running Time : 119 mins

When minor drug dealer David Clark (Sudeikis) gets his stash stolen, his supplier Brad Gurdlinger (Helms) forces him to pick up a shipment from Mexico and deliver it to him. In order to avoid suspicion, David ask stripper Rose (Aniston) to pose as his wife and, along with homeless girl Casey (Roberts) and his teenage neighbour Kenny (Poulter) pretending to be their kids, they hire an RV and head across the border. But it isn’t long before the real owner of the drug shipment finds out and tries to kill them.

This was pretty funny, though a little long, with some good performances and nice cameos throughout. Sudeikis and Aniston make a great on screen partnership, and it’s nice to see Sudeikis in a lead role. Poulter is great as the loser neighbour kid and comes across as a young Lee Evans, and Roberts is okay, though not outstanding. Fans of movies like Due Date or The Hangover will love this not-quite gross-out comedy, so enjoy.
