Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, “We’re The Millers” was one of the most anticipated comedy films of the summer.

The cast includes Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis who previously worked together in “Horrible Bosses,” a film that grossed over $209 million worldwide and broke the record for highest grossing dark comedy film in unadjusted dollars.

“We’re The Millers,” however, doesn’t seem to meet most of the audience’s comedic expectations.

The film focuses on pot dealer David Clark, played by Sudeikis, who is forced to go to Mexico to retrieve a huge shipment of weed in order to pay back his supplier after a group of rebellious teenagers steal his stash.

In an attempt to cross the border undetected, he creates the perfect, all-American family to go with him.

Aniston plays his wife, who is actually a stripper, while Emma Roberts and Will Poulter join in as their two children.

While the movie does have a few good laughs here and there, at times it comes across as trying too hard.

Rotten Tomatoes, a popular go-to website for movie ratings, said the film, “squanders its potential – and its cast — with an uneven, lazily assembled comedy.”

The website also includes a play on words calling “We’re The Millers” blandly offensive… or maybe just offensively bland.

“We’re The Millers” isn’t Thurber’s first attempt at crude, raunchy comedy.

He is known for directing the well-liked film “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story” in 2004 starring Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn.

Unlike “Dodgeball” and “Horrible Bosses,” “We’re The Millers” is unlikely to leave a
lasting impression.
