We’re the Millers

 
photo for We're the Millers “We’re the Millers” takes an interesting idea and ruins it: David Burke (former “Saturday Night Live” star Jason Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer who runs afoul of his supplier and has to smuggle a gigantic load of dope into the States from Mexico — in an RV. His plan: to create an all-American family to cross the border without suspicion. He recruits his neighbors — cynical stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston), wannabe customer Kenny (Will Poulter), and tattooed-and-pierced streetwise teen Casey (Emma Roberts) — to become the Millers, and sets off on a Fourth of July weekend jaunt south of the border. There’s a couple clever set-ups but the ensuing trip strings together so many bad jokes and sequences that no amount of cleverness can save it. It’s kinda like a bunch of “SNL” sketches gone wrong. Extras: Extended cut of the film, “Miller’s Unleashed — Outtakes Overload,” “Stories From the Road” behind-the-scenes featurettes (“Extreme Aniston”, “The Miller Makeovers,” “Road Trippin’ With the Millers,” “Don’t Suck Venom,” “Getting Out of a Sticky Situation,” “I Am Pablo Chacon,” “Rollin’ in the RV”), “Livin’ It Up with Brad” featurette, “When Paranoia Sets In” featurette, deleted scenes, gags & more outtakes. Vitals: Director: Rawson Marshall Thurber. Stars: Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Emma Roberts, Will Poulter, Ed Helms, Nick Offerman, Kathryn Hahn. 2013, CC, MPAA rating: R, 110 min., Comedy, Box office gross: $149.360 million, Warner. 2 stars
