Jennifer Aniston sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Put it on tonight on YouTube TV and see for yourself.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, We're the Millers is worth clearing space for. We're the Millers does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. A veteran pot dealer creates a fake family as part of his plan to move a huge shipment of weed into the U.S. From Mexico. The chemistry Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. We're the Millers came out in 2013. We're the Millers earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

We're the Millers is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Jennifer Aniston is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
