We're the Millers is a 2013 American comedy film directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. The film's screenplay was written by Bob Fisher, Steve Faber, Sean Anders, and John Morris, based on a story by Fisher and Faber. It stars 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 create a fake family, in order to smuggle in drugs from Mexico onto US soil.
The film was released on August 7, 2013 by New Line Cinema through Warner Bros. Pictures. It grossed $270 million worldwide during its theatrical run, against a $37 million budget. The film was nominated for four People's Choice Awards, and six MTV Movie Awards, winning two. A sequel is currently in development, with Adam Sztykiel set to write the script.
A low-level marijuana dealer named David Clark (Jason Sudeikis), who lives in Denver, is robbed of his money and stash, some of which he owes to his wealthy drug lord supplier Brad Gurdlinger (Ed Helms). After David is brought to him, Gurdlinger forces David to smuggle marijuana from Mexico as a solution to clear his debt. Realizing that one man attempting to get through customs is too suspicious, he hires a stripper neighbor stage-named Rose (Jennifer Aniston), a runaway and petty thief named Casey (Emma Roberts), and his 18-year-old neighbor Kenny (Will Poulter), to pose as a bogus family called the "Millers." When the Millers reach the compound, they find out that the amount of marijuana they were picking up is not "a smidge," as Gurdlinger had informed them, but actually two tons. Because of the extra load of the marijuana on the RV, one of the radiator hoses breaks while going up a steep incline. A family they had encountered at the border, the Fitzgeralds, consisting of Don (Nick Offerman), Edith (Kathryn Hahn), and Melissa (Molly Quinn), catch up to them and tow the Millers' RV to a repair shop. On the trip to the shop, David learns that Don Fitzgerald is a DEA agent after finding his badge and gun in the glove compartment.
