We're the Millers Movie Review

 

I went to see the movie We're the Millers and I was mostly entertained. This movie was hilarious and fun to watch in my opinion. Though this movie can be slightly offensive, maybe more than just slightly. All the characters in this movie aren't related and they all go on a trip together to smuggle drugs into the U.S. Jennifer Aniston, is one of my favorite actresses personally, she's beautiful and amazing and she plays a stripper named Rose who lives next door to this drug dealer, David, played by Jason Sudeikis. David was just a small pot dealer to over-whelmed mothers and chefs and the occasional pothead, but when he encounters a group of thugs, they strip him clean of his pot and money. He is now in debt to his supplier, and former college best friend. His dealer then tells him he must go to Mexico and pick up a 'smidge' of pot from a dealing company. He was dumbstruck, for he was just a small town dealer and he was now being asked to be a drug smuggler, which is a larger crime. He didn't know how he would come about this because he was sure to be suspicious. So, he devises a plan and rounds up his fake wife Rose (Jennifer Aniston) and his 2 fake kids, Kenny (Will Poulter) and Casey (Emma Roberts) for a 4th of July family Vacation. Together, they travel together in a large RV. Their plan worked for getting them in and out of Mexico but what they didn't know is that the 'smidge' of pot filled their entire RV and that David's dealer Brad (Ed Helms), wasn't suppose to get the shipment. He had David steal it from a major Mexican drug dealer. So they are now being pursued by this drug dealer and they are in constant danger. This movie at parts keeps you on edge and it's quite touching. The ending is something you would never expect but at the same time it could also be kind of predictable. It's really sweet at times and sometimes it can be just plain dumb. I must also mention, you see a male private part, yes, clear on the screen, there it is. I would recommend this movie to anyone if you want a good laugh because it is certainly funny but not one of the funniest movies I've seen. I would give it a 3.5/4 out of 5.

The Conjuring Review

The Conjuring, a 2013 horror movie directed by James Wan, came out on July 19th, not even a couple weeks ago. I had gone to see it, hearing about how scary it was from friends and talking about how they never screamed watching a movie before but they did in this one. After watching it though, I have to admit I'm not really impressed. I disagree with what they say. I did not scream once and I'm one to not like horror films. Yes, there are parts that are suppose to make you jump and the music gets creepy, but none of the scenes are scary in my opinion, just creepy. The doll Annabelle was creepy, the witch was creepy, the house was creepy, the game was creepy but none were scary. The previews made it seem like such a good horror movie but it wasn't as great as I had first thought. The movie ran longer than I had expected, nearly 2 hours long and the movie was a little confusing sometimes. There were, supposedly, more than one spirit in the house despite the entire house being cursed by one witch, who had hung herself after proclaiming her love for Satan. I didn't really understand why the other spirits were present. The two woman spirits, who were introduced in the story kept saying she made me do it. They didn't make it clear who they were talking about but I suppose it was the witch. She has cursed her property and it was split and sold away to different people. Everyone who lived on her property had a disaster happen to them but that doesn't tell us why the spirits congregated at that house. There is also this little boy who leads one of the 5 daughters to his hiding spot, makes her sleep walk at night, I didn't understand the purpose for him either. They say this movie is based on a true story, now that's creepy to think about. Clearly some scenes have been modified and exaggerated for entertainment purposes and I thought that was a great choice. I did enjoy the film, the actors were quite impressive but the story line was a little shaky in my opinion. Others can have a different opinion about this movie. This is mine.
