What is We're the Millers about?
A veteran pot dealer creates a fake family as part of his plan to move a huge shipment of weed into the U.S. from Mexico.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
Yes. It lands on a happy note.
A veteran pot dealer assembles a fake family for a brisk, raunchy crime comedy that’s broadly campy.
Crowd-pleasing, with raunchy humor. A date-night pick at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Paramount+.
