We're the Millers

It plays better than it reviews — the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.

• “While Aniston shows that she's as deft on a stripper pole as she is with her sitcom-honed timing, Sudeikis wields his smart-ass sarcasm like a barbed weapon. And more often than not, it kills.”

• “We’re the Millers is just good enough to keep you entertained, but not good enough to keep your mind from wandering from time to time. This is an aggressively funny comedy that takes a lot of chances, and connects just often enough.”

  Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times · 75

• “Needless to say, the shapely Aniston pulls it off without a hitch — even if she never actually appears without a stitch. If this gutsy performance leads to better opportunities—a remake of Demi Moore's ill-conceived "Striptease," perhaps — I might sleep better at night.”

  Susan Wloszczyna, RogerEbert.com · 75

• “We’re the Millers has just the right stupid, humane vulgarity for the dog days of August.”

  Andrew O'Hehir, Salon · 70

• “The fun of watching We're the Millers is guessing how raunchily low it will go, and realizing you've sorely underestimated these writers and actors.”
