There have been many movies over the years about drugs and ways of smuggling them all over the world. None of them have been as funny or entertaining as this film is. This is you classic story of a drug dealer who is work for a king pin (so to speak) who has an unforutniate problem in his life where he owes over $40k to the drug lord (yet again so to speak) He has been given the opportunity to smuggle a "Smidge" pot back into the US and bring it back and his debt will be for given. He will also be paid for his journey. However a one person crew to do this not possible. He needs a team or in this case a family. Lets Meet them

David Miller (CLark) played by Sudeikis is our Denver drug dealer who is in this jam and has to find three other people to complete this façade. He has never been more than a drug dealer in his life and only has his eyes set on the prize of drugs and brining back to save his own ass.

Rose Miller (O'reiley) played by Anniston is a stripper in a bar and lives in the same apt building as Sudiekis. She hates doing what she is doing and soon finds out her boyfriend has run off with everything and left her in a point where she is being evicted  and has to join this merry bunch and excepts a certain amount of money from what David will pay her to come along.

Casey Miller (Mathis) played by Emma Roberts is a loner slash as we interpret it homeless girl who fits the profile of being the daughter for this trip. Nora plays kind of a rebel bad ass and ends up finding the family she never had and gets close to them.

Kenny Miller (Rossmore) player by poulter is the funniest one of the bunch. He plays Kenny a sweet hearted love puppy of a kid who looks up to David as a father figure. He is a bit slow and gets talked into doing things he should do and learns some things for people in this film that a lot of us whish we could learn from. He wants this tightknit group to remain together but yet agaon David is only in it to win it so to speak.

Throughout the movie there are great funny scenes which prohibit them from reaching their goal of getting home, be it inscets, Mexican drug cartels, the US DEA or more antics but eventually it all works out. The movie rates a high 7/10 on my list. I have seen it over 50 times and it still as funny as it was from the first time I saw it.
