We're the Millers tries its best to shock with its off-beat morality and frequent vulgarity. But it takes more than it used to to shock an audience and this does not quite cut it. It's a funny film, but too often it resorts to base humour and smut. It's one thing to incorporate adult themes in ones humour, but it is another to make these themes the punchline. There was a disappointing lack of wit or surprise and this is what ultimately lets down an otherwise strong film.
The story is interesting enough, but it falls into every cliche it could until it ends up just too predictable.
The most enjoyable aspect of the film is the chemistry between Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston. They work well together and I hope to see them together with a more developed script next time.
See this film for something colourful and light, or if you're a grubby teenaged boy.
