Plot
A very interesting and exciting plot of the film "We are the Millers". The actors backed him up with their beautiful play. David is a neighbor of the stripper Rose and part-time petty dealer, who had to learn from experience that not a single good thing goes unpunished. Usually he prefers not to hang out for obvious reasons, but the case decides everything for him when he comes to the aid of a simple boy Kenny, who stood up for a completely unfamiliar girl and almost paid for it himself. David loses the revenue received for the goods, and, it turns out, owes his boss Brad Gourdlinger. Brad, in turn, offers David a job, after which he can not only repay the debt, but also make good money. To do this, he needs to bring a large batch of marijuana from Mexico. Brad realizes that he alone can not cope, comes up with a plan in which you can not do without assistants. Realizing that he alone will not be screened at the border, he connects his neighbors for a fee. Now Rose is his wife, Kenny is his son, and street girl Casey is her daughter. Together they are a happy and prosperous family.
The Millers take a shipment of drugs and, after nearly getting across the border, head for America. But with such an unusual company as David, things canāt go smoothly, otherwise there would be no plot for such a funny comedy. Somewhere along the way, the wagon breaks at the Millers. The Fitzgerald family comes to their aid, who cordially agrees to toss them to the nearest car service. Don Fitzgerald, in the recent past, is an employee of the department for combating drugs, as if incidentally, with his wife Edie and dear daughter Melissa. But unfortunately Millerov, the nearest car service is closed, and this promises them to spend the night with the Fitzgeralds. As a result, David and Rose find out that Edie and Don are swingers, and meanwhile Melissa makes Casey and Kenny kiss. These situations cause disagreement between families and the Fitzgeralds leave in the morning. While the Millers are trying to pick up the van from the car repair shop, they face a new problem. It turns out that Brad framed David, and the goods exported from the warehouse did not belong to Brad, but to the owner of the warehouse, Pablo Chacon. Chacon threatens the Millers with reprisal, but Rose saves the situation by dancing a striptease, and thereby helping to avoid the death of her family.
In all this turmoil, Kenny doesn't notice how a huge spider crawls into his pants and bites him. Rose insists that the guy needs to be taken to the hospital, while Casey escapes with her new acquaintance Scottie P. All these events bring Rose and David very close together, she even confesses and says that her name is actually Sarah, and Rose is just a pseudonym, like many women involved in such activities. But this rapprochement does not last long ... Taking Kenny out of the hospital and continuing on his way, David accidentally talks about the cost of this deal, which causes a lot of discontent, because he offered his partners much less, but they risk everything the same. The team breaks up. David leaves, but his conscience torments him, and he decides to return, find Rose, Kenny and Casey and offer to divide everything equally. They agree, but there it was. It turns out that Brad is not at all going to pay for the work done, which forces David to act in good conscience and to hand Brad to the anti-drug department, which helps a new friend Don Fitzgerald, providing Millers with witness protection for six months.
Reviews
For a long time already comedies did not collect as many views and reviews as "We are the Millers". Actors with famous names, an interesting exciting plot ... All this became an occasion for watching and mass discussion of the film. Reviews about this comedy came together rather contradictory. The undoubted advantage of the film is that the main role was played by everyone's favorite Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston. The roles of such a self-sufficient, self-confident, independent woman, and in this film she can even be called a tear, she succeeds very well, which is only worth her striptease. The same can be said about the role played by Jason Sudeikis. Fans of the comedies āBachelor Partyā, āBachelor Party in Vegasā and āAmerican Pieā will definitely appreciate this film. This comedy seemed to some to be vulgar, someone considers such humor to be toilet. But in general, the film charges with positive energy and does not leave behind a bad upset. A simple comedy that actually makes a lot of sense, because at the end of the film all the main characters really became like a real family, because they share one common goal and goals like nothing else.
But there is also a fly in the ointment. Probably, not many people noticed that the film was actually shot with a lot of editing glues, but this does not overlap the positive that the film carries.
During the premiere, a survey was conducted among the audience about the film, and on average the series was rated ā5 with a minusā on a scale of five points. But according to film critics, the comedy rating was approximately 47-50%. The worldwide fees for the film amounted to 269 million dollars, and the fees in Russia 17 million, while the budget of the film is only 37 million dollars.
The film is about how several people, not connected among themselves, found a common language and experienced unforgettable adventures together. They deliberately went to the crime and, as a result, nevertheless acted in good faith. The comedy is undoubtedly uplifting with an unforgettable plot and humor typical of American comedies. Currently, negotiations are underway with the cast about their participation in the next part of the film. A sequel is planned, but the details are not yet known.
