Film Review - We're The Millers


What are your expectations of the film?

The film will probably be a comedy as the cover implies this genre. I also think it will be quite predictable in the sense that the adult character's start off hating each other, so will most likely end up romantically involved with each other.

Narrative Turning Points

One of the main narrative turning points was when David came up with the idea to fake a family in order to smuggle drugs from Mexico to America, as it changed the tone of the film as it involved all of the characters that had been introduced in the first part of the film.

Memorable Moments

The most memorable moment was when David delivered the drugs back to Brad and discovered that he was never going to give him the money he promised, but David already had his suspicions and had called the DEA. This was memorable as it showed David had kind of changed his ways and was trying to do the right thing.

Emotional Response

The film was funny and provoked a comical response throughout. However, it was also quite heart warming when the Millers became a real family at the end and were all happy together.

Did you feel sympathy/empathy for any of the Characters?

I felt quite sympathetic for Kenny for most of the film as he is quite an innocent character who has never kissed a girl and it is quite easy to feel sorry for him, especially when at the start his mum had evidently left him. My favourite character was probably David because he was quite funny, even though he could be horrible he redeemed himself at the end when he did the right thing and made himself a family with the other characters
