WE'RE THE MILLERS (2013)

When David (Jason Sudeikis), a low-level pot dealer, loses a lot of cash he owed his boss to a robbery, he's forced to smuggle a "smidge" of weed over the border from Mexico, to the States, to repay his supplier.  Realizing families are least likely to be searched at the border, David gets his boss to supply a huge RV, and talks a dorky neglected teen (Will Poulter), a homeless goth girl (Emma Roberts), and his stripper neighbor (Jennifer Aniston) into traveling with him - hence The Millers, the squeaky-clean, all-American family just driving home from their Mexican vacay.  But the border proves to be the least of their worries when the "smidge" of weed ends up being two metric tons - and when they also learn they inadvertently stole their valuable cargo, thanks to David's boss, from the real drug kingpin!  We're the Millers is foul-mouthed, cynical, over-the-top nuts ... and also very funny and fairly terrific.  There's even a little heart, under all its sardonic sense of humor, and you can't ask for more than that. (rated R)  B+
