What You Need To Know:
WE’RE THE MILLERS opens with David selling drugs to corporate types and housewives. In trying to help two teenagers being attacked by thugs, David winds up having his backpack full of drugs and stolen money. His boss demands he smuggle a load of drugs back from Mexico to cover his debt. David recruits his stripper neighbor, Rose, and the two teenagers he tried to help, to pose as the Miller family on vacation for the smuggling operation. The “humor” is this vulgar foursome posing as respectable. At one point, Rose leads the fake family in prayer to throw off a suspicious stewardess. In reality, the foursome conducts an ongoing class in vulgarity and disdain for one another.
WE’RE THE MILLERS contains male nudity, female stripping, homosexuality, dishonesty and vulgar discussions of female organs and sexuality. It portrays the head drug dealer as a well-dressed executive in his high-rise building. The people responsible for making movies like this also wear suits and work in high-rise buildings. It’s deeply troubling they believe movies like WE’RE THE MILLERS are an honorable way to make a living.

More Detail:
WE’RE THE MILLERS is yet another assault on American culture in the name of comedy. This ultra-vulgar movie about people posing as a family so they can smuggle drugs is a disgrace to Warner Bros. and the American entertainment industry.
David (Jason Sudakis) is a drug dealer for the respectable set, corporate types and housewives. In trying to help a neighbor boy being attacked by thugs, David winds up having his backpack full of drugs and money stolen. His boss demands he smuggle a load of drugs back from Mexico to cover his debt.
David recruits his stripper neighbor, Rose (Jennifer Anniston), and the two teenagers he tried to protect from the thugs, to pose as his family on vacation for the smuggling operation. They pose as the Millers. The “humor” is this crass, vulgar foursome posing as respectable people. At one point, Rose leads the “family” in “prayer” to throw off a suspicious airline stewardess. In reality, the foursome conducts an ongoing class in vulgarity and disdain for one another. The movie contains male nudity, female stripping, homosexuality, dishonesty, and vulgar discussions of female organs and sexuality.
The story exists to provide a path from one scene of crass comedy to the next. It ends with the vulgar foursome more tolerant of each other, growing marijuana in suburbia.
The movie portrays the head drug dealer as an executive in his high-rise building. This business-attired thug will do anything to make more money. The people responsible for making movies like this wear suits and work in high-rise buildings. It’s deeply troubling they believe movies like this are an honorable way to make a living. Pray that God will lay a desire on their hearts to make movies that inspire good, instead of bad behavior. The culture we leave the next generation is in the balance, and there is much more money to made around the world making good movies.
