We're the Millers... a smidge of romance

This is not really a romantic movie, but it's great for date night because you'll both be laughing your butts off and then want to hug and kiss. That's what I do, anyway, after I have good laugh. Something about the serotonin in the brain and all those feel-good hormones reacting on a sexual level...but I digress.

Back to the movie. I almost didn't get this because the whole premise looked creepy. A stripper, a drug dealer, a geeky boy and a smart-mouth girl form a temporary family to smuggle drugs from Mexico. It sounded to me like the comedy would be lame, the laughs would be too forced. 

Nope. The jokes were subtle and smart and the humor was paced just right. The characters were bad, but not that bad. All the players had major flaws but of course, they also had many redeemable qualities. When the going got tough, the group banded together and helped each other. 

As for romance, there are several odd pairings that occur, including a case of mistaken lust in a tent. Funny and cute with a satisfying ending. I would love to see a Millers 2. Check it out on Netflix.
