"We're the Millers" is a comedy film that cleverly incorporates elements typical of the crime genre, particularly involving drug smuggling and the criminal underworld. Typical crime genre elements present include a central illegal operation—in this case, smuggling a large shipment of marijuana from Mexico to the U.S.—and characters operating outside the law. However, what makes this movie stand out within the crime genre is its comedic and lighthearted approach. Instead of a tense, dramatic crime thriller, "We're the Millers" uses humor, awkward situations, and the creation of a fake family as a unique twist to explore themes of crime. The dynamic performances of Jennifer Aniston as Rose O'Reilly and Jason Sudeikis as David Clark add to the comedic chemistry, transforming a typical crime setup into a humorous and engaging story about unconventional relationships and misadventures.
