Saturday Movies: We're the Millers (2013)

At first I'll say that I didn't think We're the Millers would be funny. I thought it might be the typical comedy coming out these days that just can't be hilarious outside a few chuckles. This movie did surprise me with how much it had me laughing though, and I think that is because it avoids the sappiness that could easily come with the territory. Also, the stars of the movie work well together, and while Jason Sudeikis is a good lead, Jennifer Aniston also shows she can do more than just the chick flick movies she fell into.
