Synopsis: David (Sudeikis), a local dealer, has to accept a dangerous job from his own supplier (Helms): smuggle a large amount of cannabis from Mexico into the USA. He notices that he has less chances to be suspected if he travels like a family.
Review: I liked the idea of gathering four such different characters as a family in the purpose of smuggling drugs. The trailer promised some laughs and the movie gives some more. It is not a clever comedy, but it is neither as "dumb" as Zoolander or Dodgeball (don't get me wrong, I like "dumb" sometimes). I mean that the story is plausible but some situations are exaggerated. The movie is basically this: a succession of gags around the odd family, the risks they take, the troubles they get into and the people they encounter. SD VOD was the right medium for watching this movie on a bored Saturday afternoon.
Rating: 6 /10
