‘We’re the Millers’ is kinda raunchy but very hilarious

The new comedy, “We’re the Millers”, wants you to believe that it is going to push all the boundaries to reinvent the raunchy, road trip comedy. It doesn’t. In fact, for the most part, it’s kind of a cobbled together, predictable flick. That being said, it’s a hilarious movie, despite everything that is wrong with it.werethemillers2

Where it does succeed is in the cast, especially Kansas City boy and former SNL-er, Jason Sudeikis. In his first movie of his post SNL days, Sudeikis is spot on in every scene, his dry, sarcastic humor leading to some awesome banter with his cast mates and some real laugh out loud moments.

The rest of the cast includes some great performances from some well known (Ed Helms, Nick Offerman) and some not so well known actors (Will Poulter). The jokes are for the most part good. I mean, they are funny, but not nearly as outrageous and push the envelope raunchy as the filmmakers want you to believe, but these actors sell them.
