Am I the only one who though this was a good movie?


Seriously what do peoole expect. It's a fun movie. I watched it with my dad sister and stephbrother. I laughed my ass off at some parts. People who rate this are too focused on the details and forget to enjoy the movie. There were good actor some really fun stuff and Jennifer Anniston in her underwear. What is there not to love? I'd rate it 7/10

I saw this movie not long after seeing This Is The End. We're the Millers renewed my faith that Hollywood can still make a decent film.

I would not put We're the Millers on the Pantheon with Animal House, Caddy Shack or The Blues Brothers but it was entertaining and funny without being stupid gross out humor which I do not find funny. Some will consider the Tarantula scene gross and I guess it was but I can deal with one scene like that. It was not an entire movie of it.

I can't claim the jokes were high brow but they weren't low brow. Is there a middle brow?

Comparing it to This Is The End, We're the Millers was a far superior film. It introduced characters I cared about. The characters developed through the film. The plot developed.

This and "The Heat" were my favorites comedies and maybe even movies of 2012, loved them both. Both had perfect casts and the great lines were surefire and never ending.

Just looking at box office and IMDB rating (7.1 isn't too shabby), most people liked it. First Jennifer Aniston movie I have ever liked.

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

I liked it too. What did people expect? A life-changing experience? A monumental film the likes of which the world will never forget?
As you said it was a fun film. I liked it and thought it was funny. Much of it was spoof-satire and i think so few people get satire or irony, that it's sad. Glad to read some people have a sense of humor and fun (like you).

I'm a 53 year old woman and loved this movie I laughed my ass off! At first I wasn't expecting much but I was surprised at how much I liked it!

Yes you are the only one.

What I find fault with is that we are suppose to care for David as the Hero of this piece of crap of a movie. David is a drug dealer and we are making him the Hero. WTF? Plus, having a teenager pressured to give a blow job to a cop -- I mean that is supposed to be funny. What surprises me even more is that I lost respect for Jennifer Aniston for her choice of movies. I thought that if Jennifer was in it it must be good. Boy was I wrong -- can't take the chance on any more movies with hr in it. She really jumped the shark with her career. No wonder Brad dumped her. I'm glad that I didn't pay to see this load of crap but it actually made money & there are making "We're The Millers 2". This is so wrong on so many levels. What is sad is that the funniest part of the movie was the Gag Reel in which they play the Friend's Theme Song as a gag towards Jennifer.

I thought this was a FUN movie. It wasn't trying to compete with Casablanca or Rear Window.

I liked it. It's also one of those movies that you can watch again without losing a whole lot. I've watched it a few times and enjoyed it each time.

Yes, I liked this movie :-)! A very good movie, and as usual, heart ache moments for me, drama, happiness and so forth.

Also very much sexyness in this movie...

Best scene ever when Will Poulter (Kenny Rossmore) kisses Emma Roberts (Casey Mathis) and Jennifer Aniston (Rose O'Rilley) back and forth. That was a jack-off scene for the record books.
