We're the Millers

We're the Millers is a 2013 American black comedy film directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber and starring Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Emma Roberts, Will Poulter, Nick Offerman, Kathryn Hahn, Molly Quinn, and Ed Helms.

The plot follows a small-time pot dealer (Sudeikis) who convinces his neighbors to help him by pretending to be his family in order to smuggle drugs from Mexico into the United States.

In Denver, low-level marijuana dealer David Clark is robbed of his money and stash, some of which he owes to his supplier and college acquaintance Brad Gurdlinger.

Realizing that attempting to get through customs alone would be suspicious, David hires his neighbors—a stripper stage-named Rose; local runaway Casey; and naïve, recently abandoned teenager Kenny—to pose as his wife, daughter, and son respectively, dubbing themselves the "Millers".

The Fitzgeralds (consisting of father Don, mother Edie, and daughter Melissa), a family actually vacationing in an RV whom the Millers had encountered at the border, catch up to them and tow them to a repair shop.

In the commotion, a tarantula that snuck aboard the RV in Mexico crawls up Kenny's leg and bites his testicles, resulting in him being hospitalized.

This setback further delays the delivery of the drugs, but David renegotiates with Gurdlinger for a fee of $500,000 on the condition he arrives that night.

Chacon then comes around the corner with Melissa held at gunpoint and is about to kill them all; however, he is momentarily distracted by the 4th of July fireworks, so David and Kenny subdue him.

Later, the Millers, now under witness protection together, are living in a suburban house with marijuana plants growing in the backyard.

Burr Steers and eventual rewriters Sean Anders and John Morris were considered to direct.
