MILLERS is a road-trip comedy about a drug-dealer (SUDEIKIS), a stripper (ANISTON), a virgin (POULTER) and a runaway (ROBERTS), who disguise int’l drug smuggling by posing as a family on vacation in Mexico.  Nobody is trying to reinvent the comedy genre with this movie.  Yes it’s formulaic.  Yes there will be a couple of monologues or points in the movie that you will see coming.  And yes, you will predict the ending.  BUT, if you like raunchy but witty comedy, you will laugh your a** off all the way through it.  THURBER’S pacing is off a couple times in the movie, making some of the jokes run a bit long, but overall, it evens out.  As for the players, my only complaint is that I wish Aniston would have had more fun being a stripper and played it a little more over the top than straight.  Apart from that, all the actors’ were completely believable and their comedic timing was spot on.     

If you have had a long-week and just want to laugh, go see this movie in theaters.  Also, if you are a fan of the reality show VANDERPUMP RULES, Jax’ ex, Laura-Leigh, makes an appearance as, wait for it..."Boner Garage".  It's a must-see!!
