We're The Millers Reviews

Naturally, there are roadblocks galore -- but the breezy film stays one mile ahead in terms of plot and punch lines

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

...a promising comedy that ultimately succumbs to the worst and most needless conventions that Hollywood has to offer.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Then there's the idea of the primped and plastic Aniston playing a stripper, perhaps the least realistic portrayal of a sex worker since Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman."

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

While We're The Millers is far from a superior comedy, it's also funnier and more enjoyable than you're probably expecting.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

It's worth pondering whether the target audience will be able to grasp that the moral here - that crime does pay, as long as you're funny - isn't meant to be taken seriously.

Full Review

It's predictable, politically incorrect and too long - but a handful of really big chuckles excuse most of the cop-outs.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Often funny but not extravagantly or consistently so.

Full Review

A movie with a solid comedic concept at its core but one that is forced to go through the necessary motions until it rolls to a stop.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

A very rude road movie prone to too many second-gear kangaroo jumps ( ... ) but [Will Poulter] is sure to be dining out on the fun of his kissing education for years.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Consistently amusing but never uproariously funny, this comedy plays it relatively safely by gently subverting our expectations of Aniston and Roberts, while making rising-star Poulter the butt of most jokes.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

The central conceit is well established, the comedy is often impressively sour and the four leads complement one another beautifully.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

It's consistently funny, the characters are a hoot and the anticipated family "bonding" is quite touching and doesn't interrupt the flow of big laughs.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

The script development is funnier and more ingenious than you might expect, and the actors have the comic timing to pull off most of it.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

It's a goofy road movie with some nice gags.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

This is a fine collection of cheap and sleazy jokes, well-told ...

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Reason No. 34,075 to legalize drugs: it would eliminate painfully unfunny comedies like this one. Comedy shouldn't make you pity the comedians.

Full Review

Enjoyable road-trip comedy with likeable characters, strong comic performances and a decent number of laughs, though the tone is uneven in places, particularly when leering over its female lead.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

It's Miller time.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

With jokes cloned from bad taste movies and off-kids-telly villains, it doesn't even qualify for dumb fun.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

This has a script that initially manages a surprise or two and nearly makes you like the characters until the ideas (or the dope) run out, and everyone's forced to ham it up, swear their heads off and drop their pants for serious scrotum jokes.
