We’re the Millers is a family comedy, but not a comedy for families. Actually, it’s not even about a real family; hence the films asterisked tagline that says they’re the Miller family only “if anyone asks.” Whereas its characters may pretend to be what they’re not, this movie does not make any effort to hide what it is: a crude and pervasively foul-mouthed R-rated comedy. The fact that all of the jokes are good, but not great, keeps We’re the Millers from becoming the memorable comedy its setup and cast seemed to promise.

Earlier this year, audience’s experienced The Heat, which essentially took the standard buddy cop movie that is usually dominated by male actors and cast women in the lead roles. With 2 Guns, the guys are back in the lead and the result is…well, a standard buddy cop movie; emphasis on the “standard.” With any less popular actors in the lead roles, this movie probably would just come and go, before disappearing into complete obscurity.
