Celeste & Jesse Forever

This film takes about half an hour to get going. The beginning is sort of blah, like an overly long introduction (which it is, I guess).

Celeste and Jesse are separated and planning on divorcing. At the same time they are still best friends and behave as such. This freaks their other two best friends out. Jesse really still loves Celeste (as a wife and as a friend) but Celeste loves Jesse as a friend. And then at some points she realizes that she loves him as a husband, too. Yeah, it's complicated.

When she is about to tell him, he jumps in and announces that he is having a baby with another woman. This makes everything even more complicated. From then on, the film is more about Celeste and her attempt to either move on or get Jesse back. I don't know because she doesn't know.

Unfortunately, it is not quite as cute as the premise would make you believe. Sometimes it tries to be really hipster and then just straight forward comedy and then a little heartach-y. If feels all just very disjointed.

It's fine, I guess, but you're not really missing anything much if you don't watch it.

We're the Millers

Small time drug dealer David is mugged by a group of neighborhood punks that take his weed and all his money. As he is now in the red with the Brad, who he deals for, he has to agree to go to Mexico to pick up a large amount of drugs for "Pablo Chacon". Brad leads him to believe that he uses that name with the Mexicans.

As a cover, David rents a family - his stripping neighbor Rose, his dorky 'friend' Kenny and a girl crashing on couches, Casey - the Millers. Together they go to Mexico in an RV and pick up a massive amount of weed and go on their merry way. Unfortunately, the real Pablo Chacon shows up right after and together with a huge honcho he goes hunting for the 'family' that he believes stole his drugs.

The Millers, unaware that they are being followed, have trouble with their RV (of course) and get help from fellow RV travelers, the Fitzgeralds. The father Don works for the DEA (of course), so the Millers cannot wait to get away from them. When they go to pick up their fixed vehicle, the baddies have caught up with them but the family manages to flee.

They hit another bump in the road, when Kenny gets bitten by a huge spider (courtesy of the honcho's mother) and they have to stop for medical help right next to an amusement park (uhm...), there they run into the Fitzgeralds and Pablo again (of course). In the confusion that follows, they take out the bad guys, Mr. Fitzgerald finds out that they have been smuggling drugs but lets them go anyway. In return, David helps the DEA take down Brad and he and the rest of the Millers go into witness protection together (of course).

And, yes, David and Rose (real name Sarah) do fall in love.
