Sad news for enthusiasts of Ted Lasso and Rachel Green: the beloved comedy We?re the Millers, released in 2013 and featuring talented actors Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston, is set to depart from Netflix on January 31. Directed by the acclaimed Rawson Marshall Thurber?known for his work on Dodgeball and Central Intelligence?the film showcases Sudeikis in the role of David Clark, a small-time drug dealer who inadvertently gets pulled into a perilous smuggling venture. To evade detection while transporting a significant quantity of marijuana across the Mexican border, David assembles a makeshift “family” to accompany him on this adventurous RV journey.
This fabricated family comprises Rose (Aniston), a straightforward stripper pretending to be his wife; Kenny (Will Poulter), an awkward teenager posing as their son; and Casey (Emma Roberts), a teenage runaway acting as their daughter. The film became a surprising box office sensation, grossing over $270 million against a relatively modest budget. It stands out as one of the most entertaining R-rated comedies of the 2010s. For those interested, a visit to YouTube reveals one of the most memorable bloopers in recent cinematic history, where the cast pulls a hilarious prank on Aniston.
Discover Why ‘We?re the Millers’ is a Must-Watch Comedy
We wholeheartedly believe it is! The review from Collider provided a somewhat critical perspective on the film’s frequent use of profanity, yet it also acknowledged the movie?s ability to triumph over this issue thanks to its impressive comedic delivery. The film’s central premise revolves around the unlikely scenario of four individuals, who do not share a surname, successfully navigating airport security, border controls, and customs merely by pretending to be a happy family. This clever concept aims to challenge the traditional image of the nuclear family through a barrage of irreverent, crude humor.
The brilliance of We’re the Millers lies not just in the outrageous situations that arise from their charade but also in its ability to juxtapose heartwarming moments with its brash comedic style. The dialogue often features an abundance of expletives, suggesting a playful rule that encourages the inclusion of the word “fucking” whenever possible. Fortunately, the strength of the jokes compensates for the frequent use of profanity, as the film dares to explore comedic boundaries that exceed expectations. Although the film flirts with sentimentality, it robustly embraces its comedic spirit, ensuring that We’re the Millers maintains a brisk and entertaining pace throughout.
If you want to catch We’re the Millers before it leaves Netflix on January 31, make sure to act fast! Stay connected with Collider for the latest updates on your preferred films and streaming options.
