Dome Pondering Movie Review: We're the Millers (2013)

What is it about? 

A veteran neighborhood drug dealer creates a fake family of interesting people in his neighborhood to transport a huge shipment of drugs from Mexico into the U.S.

Who is in it? 

Jason Sudeikis - David Clark

Jennifer Aniston - Rose O'Reilly

Will Poulter - Kenny Rosmore

Emma Roberts - Casey Mathis

Favorite Scene: 

While driving the RV, Kenny is bitten on the testicles by a tarantula that was loose since their trip to Mexico. 

Favorite Quote: 

"No regrets, really? Not even a single letter?" [In reference to Scotty P.'s neck tattoo which read "No Ragrets"]

Review: 

We're the Millers is a film that will take you by surprise. From the trailer, one would think that this film is just another cheap attempt at humor and comedy, the kind that relies on over-the-top dialogue and ridiculously graphic nature to get it's point across - you know the kind. 

However, We're the Millers is actually genuinely entertaining. The plot is rather simple and elementary, but it is filled with moments and subtle things in the film that are laugh out loud funny. "Baby LeBron" and the several funny moments that include Kenny perfectly describe this film.

Jason Sudeikis is his typical funny self, and Jennifer Aniston was just as solid in her role as Rose in the film. 

We're the Millers isn't a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, but it is funny, engaging, and overall entertaining. And that's all you can ask from a movie of it's kind. 

Grade: 3/5

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

The Pondering 10 - Favorite Knicks Head Coaches

I'm still on a championship high (probably until Banner night in October to be honest), so I'm dropping more Pondering 10s as my brain (and heart) works through all of the emotions and reflection from my beloved New York Knicks - 2025-2026 NBA Champions!  Let's talk coaches.  We've been through so many. My fellow Knicks fans, we've seen so many coaches walk the sidelines of Madison Square Garden, and the recent championship is so amazing to think about - Mike Brown, one year, title.  With that said, here is a list of my favorite Knicks Coaches (in my lifetime, so no Red Holtzman). It's tougher than you think, but we're doing it.  To begin, here are those banned from this list. On the sheer qualifier that these coaches - by fault of their own, or maybe not - will always resonate with disdain and the lowest of the lows.  Derek Fisher Oh, the Phil Jackson era. When we were given a coach who had never done so before, implementing the triangle offense was more im...
