We're the Millers

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 (12/12/2013)

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%. (15/10/2017)

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.

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. (29/09/2016)

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)
