The film is one we’ve been looking forward to for some time, and now Warner Bros. have released the first trailer, setting the tone nicely ahead of its August release date.
David Burke is a small-time pot dealer whose clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kids—after all, he has his scruples. So what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad. In order to wipe the slate clean – and maintain a clean bill of health – David must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brad’s latest shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the arms of his neighbors, cynical stripper Rose and wannabe customer Kenny, and the tatted-and-pierced streetwise teen Casey, he devises a foolproof plan. One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the “Millers” are headed south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a bang.
Aniston and Sudeikis star alongside a terrific cast, led by Emma Roberts and Will Poulter as the fake children of their fake family, along with Ed Helms, Kathryn Hahn, Nick Offerman, and Thomas Lennon.
Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball) returns behind the camera for his third feature, directing from a script first penned by Bob Fisher and Steve Faber (Wedding Crashers), with Sean Anders and John Morris (Sex Drive) also lending their hand to the script during the project’s long time in development at New Line.
Horrible Bosses is, hands down, one of my favourite comedies of all time, and Sudeikis and Aniston are of course a big part of that. So seeing them reunite for We’re The Millers, sharing a lot more screen time, is definitely good news in my books, and you just know this is going to be another great one.
We’re The Millers is set to be released in the US on August 9th, with its UK release date following two weeks later on 23rd August. I can’t wait.
Please note, this is a red band trailer
