We’re the Millers is a perfect movie to watch with a bunch of friends, it’s known to be one of the most hilarious movies of the year. The New York Times states, ‘We’re the Millers, a loose, halfheartedly raunchy, occasionally hilarious new comedy, is about a lot of different things; it’s usually grab bag of jokes about drugs and body parts. But what really drives the movie is its own search for something to make fun of, and for a comic style that can feel credibly naughty while remaining ultimately safe and affirmative.’
We’re the Millers made $26.6 million for the three-day weekend and $38 million for the five-day which ended up being pretty decent numbers.
During an interview, Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis were asked to talk about their relationship while doing the movie and how it worked out. Sudeikis replied with, ‘Well you know we’ve worked together in the past, but then Jen’s made Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Adam Sandler, everybody, Jim Carrey, every major comedy guy star for the last ten years look good. So I just stood there, I just stood there and looked pretty.’
Aniston just laughed and continued to joke around and laugh with Sudeikis.
The interviewer than asked them ‘As actors you have to bond with strangers or people you don’t know very well to create an illusion, so I was wondering if you could really relate to the storyline of this.’ Aniston replied with, ‘I don’t think it happens where it’s an illusion, I think we actually become a family. You spend three or four months of your life every day all day, sometimes way too long, and you just have each other.’
Top TV Shows
‘Scandal’ is one of the most popular TV shows right now in its second season with 3.52 million viewer’s aged 18 to 49 and 8.4 million total viewers. The show typically ranks first in its 10 pm Thursday slot among the age group aged 18 to 34. The TV show has even attracted fans in the political section such as Donna Brazile and Roland S. Martin.
Scandal has also become popular to the African American audience. The show is the highest scripted drama among African-Americans with 10.1 percent of black households and an average of 1.8 million viewers. One of the biggest and main reasons for this was the casting of Kerry Washington who became the first African-American female lead in a network drama in almost 40 years.
Her casting has promoted discussion among academics and fans of the show about whether ‘Scandal’ represents a new era of post-racial television, in which cast members are ethnically diverse but are not defined by their race or ethnicity.
She was asked whether she felt any pressure being in this unusual position, and Ms. Washington said the pressure was on the audience more than on the cast and crew. She stated “The question was: Are audiences ready to have the stories that we tell on television to be more inclusive? Are we ready for our protagonists to represent people of all different genders and ethnicities?”
She also said, “I think the success of the show speaks to how we have become more inclusive as a society because the fans of the show span all different races and ages and genders, it’s very exciting.”
