Film Review #4

I finished watching We're the Millers less than thirty minutes ago and I must say, it was quite the film. The film was about an amateur pot dealer that travels to Mexico to unknowingly steal an unnaturally large amount of marijuana in order to repay his debt to a drug lord after being robbed. In order to successfully smuggle the drugs over the boarder, he hires a few "acquaintances" to pose as family members joining him on a "good ole' family vacation." I went to see the movie because the advertisements for the film were hilarious and the plot seemed very interesting. However, the film's plot was not as developed as I expected it to be. The creators of the film seemed to put more emphasis on the comedy and less on the story line. I feel the countless amount of jokes and sexual innuendos were used as a distraction from the film's lack of a progressive plot. I also think there were a few scenes of the film that felt very unoriginal. However, I still enjoyed the film. I would not recommend it to someone in search of a good movie, but rather someone in search of a good laugh.
