We're the Millers is a fun, raunchy Starring Jason Sudekis, Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, and Will Poulter. Sudekis plays David Clark, a low-level pot dealer that gets into debt to a drug kingpin, played hilariously by Ed Helms. To settle his debt Clark agrees to make a "small" pot delivery from Mexico and enlists the help of a stripper who lives in his building (Aniston), his nerdy neighbor Poulter, and a street kid (Roberts) to travel with him as his fake family to make getting across the border easier. Of course, things do not go smoothly and hilarity ensues. Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn play a hilarious pair of fellow travelers that make life even more complicated for The Millers and steal pretty much every scene they are in.
For those who get the Blu-Ray, you get the theatrical edition and the extended edition, which is not much longer and basically just adds on to some of the scenes. Then there are about 16 minutes of deleted scenes, about 7 minutes of outtakes, and then several making-of featurettes that range in time from 1-3 minutes, give or take, and total about 20 minutes in all. So, if you like watching the extras, you get a decent amount.
Overall, the movie is a fun, but very adult comedy. It is akin to the other comedies like Horrible Bosses, that Aniston has done recently. Of course, she plays one of the only strippers ever who only strips down to her underwear, but looks very good doing it. Of course, she really never shows anything other than cleavage and her very toned abs and legs. You can tell she enjoys shedding the "good girl" image she had from friends when she can. Sudekis is very funny with the smarmy comedy that he was known for on SNL, but it is really the interactions with (and especially between) Roberts and Poulter that generate most of the laughs. It is a movie that definitely is very tongue in cheek the entire time, and does not take itself too seriously. So, if you are a fan of the more raunchy comedies, this one is a good one to check out, but just be aware that it is definitely not something that will appeal to everyone.
