Wesley Morris Grantland The movie's lingering close-ups on yearning faces and heart-to-heart conversations force the fake Millers into real familial longing that's more bogus than the family itself. Jan 3, 2014 Full Review Mara Reinstein Us Weekly Naturally, there are roadblocks galore -- but the breezy film stays one mile ahead in terms of plot and punch lines Rated: 3/4 Sep 22, 2013 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times The central conceit is well established, the comedy is often impressively sour and the four leads complement one another beautifully. Rated: 3/5 Aug 23, 2013 Full Review Iván Kazi EscribiendoCine Along the way, as the film begins to unravel, all the possible variants and ramifications that the plot could have pursued parade through the mind. The only alternative they should not have chosen is the one they go for...

Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 3, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The foul-mouthed dialogue and bawdy predicaments inserted at nearly uninterrupted intervals leave the journey with rarely a dull moment.

Kauã M Fun, funny and easy to watch, I never understand the critics in these notes, this film is very good in all aspects. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Marco L (CASTELLANO) Somos los Miller no intenta revolucionar la comedia, solo quiere que te rías con su humor desvergonzado y sus situaciones absurdas. La historia es sencilla, pero cumple: un tipo que se dedica a trapichear se inventa una familia falsa para pasar droga por la frontera sin que le pillen. Para eso, se junta con una stripper, un chaval que no se entera de nada y una chica con mucho carácter. Como te imaginas, todo se complica y el viaje se convierte en un desastre lleno de líos y situaciones absurdas. La película sigue el estilo de las comedias americanas gamberras, con chistes que a veces funcionan y otros que no tanto, pero en general te hace pasar un rato divertido. El reparto es uno de sus mayores aciertos. Jason Sudeikis domina la comedia con su humor sarcástico y su habilidad para el timing cómico, mientras que Jennifer Aniston aporta carisma y encaja bien en su papel. Sin embargo, el que realmente se roba la película es Will Poulter, cuyo personaje de adolescente torpe y entrañable protagoniza algunos de los momentos más divertidos. También destaca Ed Helms, que consigue darle un punto de locura a su papel de villano. No es una comedia refinada ni lo pretende. Somos los Miller apuesta por un humor directo, con momentos absurdos que, aunque no siempre dan en el clavo, cumplen su función. Es cierto que el desenlace es predecible y que algunas escenas podrían haber sido más ágiles, pero si buscas una comedia ligera y sin pretensiones, es una opción más que válida para pasar el rato. (ENGLISH) We're the Millers doesn’t try to reinvent comedy; it just wants to make you laugh with its shameless humor and absurd situations. The story is simple but effective: a small-time drug dealer comes up with a fake family to smuggle drugs across the border without getting caught. To pull it off, he teams up with a stripper, a clueless teenager, and a tough girl. As you can imagine, things quickly spiral out of control, turning the trip into a mess full of chaos and ridiculous situations. The movie follows the style of classic American raunchy comedies, with jokes that sometimes land and others that fall flat, but overall, it delivers a fun time. The cast is one of its biggest strengths. Jason Sudeikis nails the comedic timing with his sarcastic humor, while Jennifer Aniston brings charisma and fits well into her role. However, the real scene-stealer is Will Poulter, whose awkward and endearing teenage character delivers some of the funniest moments. Ed Helms also stands out, adding a touch of craziness to his villainous role. This isn’t a refined comedy, and it doesn’t try to be. We're the Millers goes for straightforward humor, with absurd moments that, while not always perfect, get the job done. The ending is predictable, and some scenes could have been tighter, but if you're looking for a lighthearted comedy without big ambitions, it’s a solid choice for a good time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review Brian H This movie is made by the one liners and the fantastic acting. Foolishly fun plot. Great acting. Little to no redeeming qualities. But dang fun. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Ben N Entertaining, but dumb. Through the power of performance, some weak writing and unbelievably silly plots turn out funny regardless. Some sexy scenes with an A-list star like Aniston don't hurt and in the end, I had a good time. Worth a watch or two over the years, but nothing to shout about. Unless you get bitten by a spider. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Michael P indeed raunchy, and it has its funny moments. But when the bits get drawn out, the family is not so funny anymore. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Isa B An entertaining comedy with utterly ridiculous plot lines. It is funny, silly and absurd all at the same time. Personally, I like We're the Millers, but it certainly isn't a very good film. For its entertainment value, I do recommend. 39/100 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
