We're the Millers

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)

A funny and snappy comedy with a really likeable cast that doesn't did not avoid the classic clichés, but I had a good time, which is essential for a comedy, so the genre requirements were met. The funniest scenes were the one in the tent and then with the Mexican policeman. In short, a predictable but very entertaining film that benefits from the cast and hilarious scenes (11/12/2013)

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.

The cadence of the jokes and catchphrases is really killer in some parts, gotta give it that. I'd hate to rate The Millers as "a film with a tired theme that's perfectly crafted and acted", because I really had a great time the whole time, and it's actually very briskly shot – there are practically no dead spots. I kind of took the honeymoon under the fireworks and the pathetic speech about the family in front of the Mexican drug dealer with a grain of salt and it didn't affect my overall impression in any significant way. The Millers is a fresh comedy in the true sense of the word. (05/10/2013)

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)
