We're the Millers

If Clark Griswold was a drug smuggler, it would probably look something like this. A pretty good comedy without much awkwardness and with an excellent Jennifer Aniston. But it is far from the originality of The Joneses with David Duchovny and Demi Moore. Three and a half stars. (18/03/2015)

But yes, in the end it's actually quite a good comedy, because one should compare it to what else comes from the USA. And otherwise, it's quite scary and horrifying. "The Millers" excel, just not by that much. I was expecting a bit better entertainment, a better script, just something extra that would justify such high ratings. However, it is true that when it comes to casting, for once the Americans were thinking about it and the main family has incredible chemistry.

I very rarely understand the humor of American mainstream comedies. The rating of 76% on FilmBooster was tempting to me, as well as the relatively positive comments. The first minutes of the film were indeed filled with several decent jokes, and the idea of ​​creating a typical American family was crazy but interesting, and the presence of Jennifer Aniston undoubtedly helped the film. The forty-four-year-old actress looked noticeably younger and she has a figure that many teenagers would envy. Although she doesn't showcase exceptional acting skills, she undeniably possesses a certain charm. One quickly understands why she has managed to create a large fan club. However, it soon becomes apparent that the humor is rather clumsy and increasingly cheap. Yet, for a while, it manages to stay within the boundaries that avoid crossing the line of awkwardness. But that changes in the second half, and moreover, the chemistry between the family members is terrible. The screenwriter lacked the courage to utilize what was directly available - to parody and turn upside down the American middle-class family values ​​and the sweet sentiment of family films. All the potential gradually goes to waste, and in the end, it becomes an easily forgettable mess that relies on silly sexual innuendos and swollen testicles. It's a shame because this film could have been better. Overall impression: 40%. (14/10/2017)

Since successful comedies are becoming few and far between, I'm glad for any that make me laugh at least a few times. And with The Millers I giggled almost all the time. The script may be stale a hundred times over, but who wants to keep coming up with new stuff, right? The choice of actors was also spot on, so I don't really have anything to criticize. A decent comedy. A weaker 4 stars. (27/01/2014)

Except for a few requisite American clichés, a perfect comedy that I'll be happy to rewatch. Twenty years ago, I couldn't stand Jennifer Aniston. Now, I look forward to every film she's in. Her performance was excellent as expected, and even the rest of the cast was great. The theme and script were also fantastic. I had a great time throughout, and I think the whole film crew must have enjoyed themselves as well, you can tell from the film’s atmosphere. (28/09/2016)
