We&#8217;re The Millers (Warner Brothers, 3,150+ Theaters, 110 Minutes, Rated R): <\/strong>And so begins the film career of Jason Sudekis. The actor has announced that he won&#8217;t be coming back to <strong>Saturday Night Live<\/strong> next season while on the publicity tour for this film. I guess we&#8217;ll see how good a decision that is come Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The story is about a drug dealer (Sudekis) who gets hired to move a large quantity of marijuana from Mexico into the United States.\u00a0 He comes up with a great idea to get the contraband past Customs: He&#8217;ll shave and put on a polo and pretend to be a Winnebago driving tourist. To further sell the cover, he hires a stripper (Jennifer Aniston, which means this will be yet another in a long line of film strippers who don&#8217;t go down any lower than a bra and panties), a runaway (Emma Roberts) and his weirdo neighbor (Will Poulter) to act as his wife and children. But things do not go as easy as planned, as the quartet runs into problems ranging from tarantulas to drug cartels to wife-swapping fellow RVers.<\/p>\n<p>The trailer was funny, but will it be enough to rise the film above the typical road trip comedy? We&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"520\" height=\"276\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.traileraddict.com\/emd\/74838\" \/><embed width=\"520\" height=\"276\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.traileraddict.com\/emd\/74838\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" wmode=\"transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Percy_Jackson-_Sea_of_Monsters_13.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-29955\" alt=\"Percy_Jackson _Sea_of_Monsters_13\" src=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Percy_Jackson-_Sea_of_Monsters_13-202x300.jpg\" width=\"202\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Percy_Jackson-_Sea_of_Monsters_13-202x300.jpg 202w, https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Percy_Jackson-_Sea_of_Monsters_13.jpg 408w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px\" \/><\/a>2.
