Jennifer Aniston shows off her stripper moves in ‘We’re the Millers’: budget or funny?

So the trailer is out for Jennifer Aniston’s new movie, We’re the Millers. I guess this is supposed to be dirty? This is supposed to be like a gross-out R-rated Judd Apatow-type of comedy? Eh. Are we sure that Jason Sudeikis is interesting enough to be a comedic leading man? Because I’m not sure. I will accept Sudeikis as a supporting character, of course. But I just don’t know if he’s pulling this off. As for Jennifer… she’s playing a 40-something stripper with wigs and lingerie and booty shakes and vulgarity. And I’m not sure she’s pulling it off either.

Here’s the regular trailer (SFW):

Here’s the redband trailer (NFSW because of balls and some language):

I’m sure there will be a lot of Jennifer-fans who think this was a long time coming, that she should have been doing dirty R-rated comedies for a while. And I’m sure there will be some Aniston-fans who think this seems kind of cheesy, gross and uncomfortable for her. Eh.

As long as we’re doing trailers, have you seen the latest Man of Steel trailer? Now this is something I want to see. Michael Shannon as General Zod is my everything.

    meh, I’ll see it when I can rent if from Redbox although the guy playing their son is awesome.

  2. Valentine says:

    I think that looks hilarious 🙂

  3. Diane says:

    OK, this actually looks pretty good.

    • Sarah says:

      I never liked ‘Friends’ but I must admit that I usually find her quite bearable in her rom-coms. She does better when she has a good cast around her. And yes, the “Miller kids” look hilarious.

  4. Ag says:

    lukewarm oatmeal, as usual.

  5. SolitaryAngel says:

    Ordinarily I avoid all of JA’s movies but this one looks pretty funny, especially the kids. 🙂

  6. Toot says:

    Damn, that trailer for The Millers was totally unfunny. No comment on the old ass stripper.

    Superman looked interesting.

    • Petee says:

      I agree.It look’s pretty bad.Anything with Jen is alway’s pretty bad.I never got her appeal.She is not a attractive woman.

    • DreamyK says:

      Yeah….not feelin’ it either. I WANT to like her movies, but, the last one I actually enjoyed was “Bruce Almighty” a decade ago.

  7. Janet says:

    Pass.

  8. Pixie says:

    I think it looks pretty good!

  9. Rhea says:

    I just knew that she would need to open her clothes in most of her movies… Was hoping to see her in a movie with a better script, since at her level of fame she could choose one that would show her acting skill without the nudity. Oh, well.

    • Wd says:

      Jenny’s nekkid ship has sailed. She’s teased us one too many times in the past for us to believe her anymore. Besides, the goods are starting to spoil

  10. Micki says:

    It looks and sounds painfully boring

    • catt says:

      It looks painfully unfunny. I know its a comedy but …how can she never want to take roles with at least a tiny bit of substance to them?

  11. Erinn says:

    I’m not going to be able to watch it. There’s a few people in it that I like (Eg. Nick Offerman, Ed Helms) but I can’t handle the Emma Roberts or Jennifer Aniston aspect of it.

    • taxi says:

      Completely agree. Emma is unwatchable & Jen’s fan base is leftover from “Friends” lovers. Best thing for her to do now would be get the gang together 20+ years for “Old Friends.”

    • KellyinSeattle says:

      Taxi: Please don’t encourage a Friends reunion! They’re talking about doing one…personally, I wasn’t into Friends – tune in the see what everyone’s wearing and how their hair is styled, yawn..just no substance. But I know a lot of people like the show, and probably want a reunion…I think prety much all shows with reunions are not a good idea….just leave it be…and Aniston is trying to act like she’s so close to her Friends’ cast. but Matthew Perry said she hasn’t called her for 8 years. This stripping…I know she’s playing a 40 + stripper, but she her body isn’t that great…don’t think she’d rock a bikini..for the 6 days of working out and endless yoga….I can’t wait til she’s even older and trying to keep relevant..She’ll strip down to her Depends…

      • taxi says:

        I didn’t like Friends the first time around – tried 2 or 3 times & changed channels. Not to my taste. Jen’s best roles are probably behind her & that doesn’t say much. I could see her someday as Mrs. Claus.

      • Mrs Odie 2 says:

        Perry said that to her in a skit they did on “Ellen.” It isn’t really true.

  12. Keats says:

    Can we change this to a ‘how awesome is Michael Shannon’ conversation? Because honestly I have a lot more interest in that topic.

  13. pwal says:

    I saw a sneak peak on ET last night and the only part I liked was the ‘son’ rapping Left Eye’s part in Waterfalls.

    RIP, Left Eye.

  14. MsAubra says:

    BWAAHAHAHAHA

  15. Cam S says:

    Say what you will about her love life, acting skills etc, but this woman is built! Not too thin, but nice, healthy and curvy. I think her body is perfect and I like the fact that she works for it and doesn’t shy away from saying so. She admits she is mortal! Ya know, I think she may be winning me over. And I like most of her movies, esp comedies.

    I loved the original General Zod actor in Priscilla Queen of the Desert

  16. L says:

    Oh brother! another lame ass movie from JA although the teen actors are pretty funny.

  17. Official Bitch says:

    She is too old for that part. Its’ meant for a woman in her 30s. Late 20s. Not mid 40s. She looks like an old lady trying to be cute. She is no Halle Berry or Lucy Liu in her 40s. She actually LOOKS her age, like Cam Diaz.

    • Toot says:

      Yep!

    • lem says:

      isn’t that the point tho? that she’s supposed to be playing a 40 year old washed up stripper?

      • Becky1 says:

        That’s the impression I got. I think she’s supposed to be an “old” stripper.

        On another note, I’m tired of people referring to her or any women in their 40’s as old ladies! 40 is old for a stripper but not old in general. Middle aged, yes, but not old. Guess what, ladies-you’ll be 40 someday too and you won’t like being called old!

        I think sometimes people under age 30 forget that they won’t be young forever.

    • Riff says:

      ITA
      And it’s not just a matter of age. She has a great body, but she isn’t sexy at all, nor she is able to play this kind of role.
      Unimpressed.

      • Mrs Odie 2 says:

        Me too! Some of the women who comment on here have an ageist attitude. One of them even called me “Mrs. Oldie.” I’m 41. I used to be 23 also. And all of you young women in your 20s and 30s, if you’re lucky you’ll be my age and older someday.

    • Photo lab says:

      She’s supposed to play the suburban mother to these teens. Seems like 40-something is perfect.

    • Jess says:

      Late 20’s? The whole schtick is she’s supposed to look like a typical suburban mom of two older teenagers. It doesn’t work on any level if the characters just a decade older than her ‘kids’.

  18. andrea says:

    Looked funny 🙂

  19. Talie says:

    The ending with the TLC rap is pretty funny…

  20. Jess says:

    Jennifer did Horrible Bosses, so she’s not a stranger to R rated comedies. Actually except for the first few movies she did during her Friends days, she’s never really taken the usual ‘America’s Sweetheart’ roles. Her films have usually been more on the Apatow side of romantic comedy eg. a bit dirty, a bit crude.

    This looks ok, I’ll see it for Nick Offerman. But Michael Shannon, wow. I guess I’m going to have to go see a Superman movie.

  21. Lauren Carter says:

    I just feel like there are so many more talented actors that could really make this material work. But in the hands of Jennifer and Jason it’s as bland as generic oatmeal that’s congealing, served plain and lukewarm…

    • mwow says:

      I know, with both of them it doesn’t feel like either has the star power to carry a movie. Jason Sudekis is an SNL guy, I mean really!

  22. smee says:

    Your next in-flight movie!

    Obviously, the whole movie is for the stripper scene so that JA can confirm she’s still “hot”.

    It’s pitiful and her acting is wooden at best. Jason S. lacks charisma….

    Glad to see Nick Offerman getting work, no matter how awful.

  23. Nev says:

    it’s funny!!!

  24. Hipocricy says:

    For the past 5 years or so, all her movies are a different variation of the same formula. Wanderlust, Horrible Boss, the switch, Management…they all look like she portrays the same character with some variations.

    I hate those willy willy poo poo comedies. They always end up in overbiding the crass.

    And Aniston’s booty is just too flat for that big shot overview.

    MOS looks good however. Hope Snyder who has a tendency to bring in in trailers sub par movies doesn’t disappoint.

  25. Lulu.T.O. says:

    *groan*

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      Yes *groan* to this trailer and *groan* to some of the comments…this is why movies like this exist-people find this crap funny. That sounded bitchy. I just…this is not my style of humor. Is that nicer?

      Yeah…this won’t even be a rental for me. In fact, I want my 2:54s back.

  26. truthful says:

    BUDGET

  27. insomniac says:

    That was … awkward.

    • Ag says:

      yeah, she’s one of those people that you think “oh, that’s awkward” when they’re trying to be sexy, isn’t it? i wonder what the deal is, i can’t really pin point it.

  28. jillyro says:

    For those saying good body, think this is the movie she used a body double for they had said. Don’t think Jason is a good and JA can’t open a movie on her own, so should be interesting to see box office.

    It does not look funnny and she plays the same part in every movie anyway. Didn’t she do the “pretend” family plot before it that awful movie she did with Adam Sandlers??? And wasn’t there another movie where she pretended to be a wife and was on the run with Gerald Butler (I can’t recall the names of these movie, they are unforgttable). They are all blending into the same movie (does she or her reps not notice that LOL?!!). When we saw this clip on ET last night, my husband made a good point when he said “Man, if this is the type of movie that Jennifer A. ends up accepting, imagine the even crappier movies she turns down!!”. I agree, it’s like choose crap or mega-crap, but it’s all crap in the end (and she plays the same part).

    • LL says:

      hahaha

  29. Kiddo says:

    Wasn’t the stripper route the kiss of death for Demi Moore’s career, around the same age?

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      I think Demi was in her thirties, as Rumer Willis played as her real daughter in the movie. I saw about thirty minutes of the movie….twenty five of them being just straight stripping…and I have to say, it worked because Demi Moore was hot. And she wasn’t playing a busted stripper, she was playing a seasoned professional. The dancing was actually really good from what I saw. You could tell that she put a lot of work into this.

      From this trailer, it looks like all Jennifer thought she had to do was wiggle her butt a little and BAM! she’s a stripper (with an absolute shit wig). This could’ve been a good movie if it hadn’t been for the two main adults, and Emma Roberts. I might watch this, but only if i don’t have to pay for it…which means I’ll be looking it up online sometime next summer when I have absolutely nothing to do.

      • Mrs Odie 2 says:

        “Striptease” was a terrible movie, but it was based on a superb, hilarious novel by Carl Hiaasen.

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        Oh, I know that it was a terrible movie, which is why I never saw the whole thing. It’s just one of those films that men and women watch for the boobs….

  30. Original Me says:

    Sad and desperate. JA has resorted to this? Gross. She seems to always have a pinched look about her too.
    I watched a minute of the Friends “reunion” on Ellen and it was so forced and unfunny. I don’t know what it is about JA, if she’s just a bad actress or just phoning it all in.

    • Contrived says:

      I totally agree, I can’t put my finger on it…she just seems so out of character all the time, she has this nervousness that makes me feel uptight when she tries to be comedic.

      That skit for instance or even when she was just on Ellen last time.

      She’s been doing this schtick for the last few yrs now where she opens her eyes really wide like she doesn’t understand the simple questions that are being posed…She tries to act like she doesn’t know what’s going on around her??? Like she’s an airhead???

      I don’t get it(she will do it in skits or in interviews)and it always comes across like she’s too tired to just be herself or say something funny.

      Really strange.

      • Original Me says:

        I noticed that whole airhead thing too. I have also noticed that she can’t answer a direct question. She rambles on and generally doesn’t come around to an answer. She’s not real quick on her feet or clever/funny in interviews. She never seems to be “on”. It’s strange, because I think JA is a smart person who is capable of a lot more. It’s like she’s exhausted and spaced out!

      • Ag says:

        pot?

    • KellyinSeattle says:

      To Contrived & Original Me: you’re right on about her nervous/inability to look at someone and give an answer…it’s the same formula she used on Friends: Sigh, cross arms, make bewildered face, but hands on hip, make a quip, sigh..and repeat.

      • Original Me says:

        Jeez,at that rate I should be a famous actress! She really does just do the same schtick over and over.

    • KellyinSeattle says:

      To Contrived & Original Me: you’re right on about her nervous/inability to look at someone and give an answer…it’s the same formula she used on Friends: Sigh, cross arms, make bewildered face, but hands on hip, make a quip, sigh..and repeat.

  31. janie says:

    Just go away…..

  32. Really says:

    Looks funny to me! The stripper scene reminds me of True Lies / Jaime Lee Curtis.

    • Camille (TheOriginal) says:

      Only JLC rocked it and has/had an amazing body. JLC was both sexy and funny in that scene, 2 things that JA isn’t.

  33. GeeMoney says:

    As pretty and in shape Jennifer Aniston is… no one wants to see a 40+ year old stripper.

    Sorry.

  34. Heather H says:

    I kind of hate low brow humor but I actually laughed a several times during the trailer so I am looking forward to it!

    • RobN says:

      Me, too. I usually hate this kind of movie and go on long rants about teenage boy humor, but I actually laughed a little. Not every movie has to be Sophie’s Choice.

      • Lulu says:

        Actually, now that I think about it, I did laugh at the Orca scene. If they didn’t have all the other cringe-worthy shite in there, I would watch it just for those types of gems.

  35. Lila says:

    The son is hilarious. Watching them all drool over Aniston makes her look desperate. I actually think this looks funny but she seems like the weakest part of it. Even Emma Roberts seemed better than her.

  36. Miss M says:

    I am not a fan of Michael Shannon, but I have to say I liked him in his small role in “Mud”. By the way, I thought “Mud” was a great movie.

  37. Sandy says:

    She is completely unbelievable as a stripper. She does have a great body but her face looke to masculine. She looks like a man in a wig. All of her movies are terrible. Who woukd waste money on garbage? Movies are too expensive to see Jen Aniston act horribly, play Rachel Green again and again, and play a washed up stripper..

  38. BooBooLaRue says:

    Funny how when she is in character (blue shirt & pony tail), she looks so naturally middle class.

  39. helen says:

    so much plastic jennifer

  40. anon says:

    why are they closing up on her butt…she doesn’t have one.

  41. DGO says:

    She’s so good at comedy.

  42. Nerd Alert says:

    I will probably rent this, it looks funny. I think it would look better if they had someone else do JA’s part. Like Sudeikis, she’s one-note, always the same character. It’s just that this kind of comedy happens to be Jason’s one note.

  43. Contrived says:

    Honestly, my yaw dropped when I saw her in that 1st stripper get up. WTF!!!

    Her body looks so thick and she’s so not in her skin when she moves.

    I thought that was bad enough.

    But, the “prove it” part with her actually trying to do a strip tease!!! OMG

    I give up. I knew she was desperate but never like this.

    All I can say is I’m lovin it, I love watching her struggle to get another sh*tty movie to make it by showing her Tits and/or asss.

    • pwal says:

      Well, there’s Aniston thick and actual thick. Her waist doesn’t look tiny, but her body looks fine. But what I don’t get is if she supposed to be a stripper past her prime or a stripper who is over it. Either scenerios seem moot since she doesn’t seem to move like a stripper, or rather, a good stripper. Very passive or worse, tentative.

      And on another note, now I know where they got that crying pic for that ridiculous Star Mag cover with her fiance.

  44. Paloma says:

    This is massively important to her; it’s all she has..
    Body, hair, face; her three babies. Sad.

  45. Wif says:

    Her body is great, but she moves awkwardly, so overall it doesn’t work.

    I do love the killer whale in the Ed Helms clips, though. And the teen boy looks great.

    • Ag says:

      i liked the killer whale too. haha

      and ron swanson. always love me some ron swanson.

  46. roxy750 says:

    She needs to stop making movies now or suffer ruining her almost already ruined image for life. Ugh.

  47. Severine says:

    Her face is too botoxed and lips far too bloated.

  48. Dave says:

    Jennifer Aniston is the biggest nudity tease in Hollywood. She likes to leak the rumor that she’s going to be nude in a movie in order to generate buzz and interest in it and get people like me excited that we’re finally going to get to see her naked, and then when the movie comes out, we hear that her nude scene(s) wound up on the cutting room floor – again. She’s pulled that so many times now that I just yawn when she tries to play sexy.

  49. Diana says:

    O.M.G. Michael Shannon as General Zod is so creepy, I love it! Can’t wait for MoS to come out.

  50. Kim1 says:

    I think Jen should go back to TV ,every actor can’t master every medium.Like the theater Julia Roberts was meh on Broadway.She is suited for film work.Jen is better on TV

  51. kiki says:

    Jennifer strips in yet another movie…and everyone yawns again.

    Desperation has eaten away at what’s left of her brain.

  52. MAC says:

    I have never watched one of her movies. I like “Ron Swanson” he is funny. I wont watch the movie. I will see the movie with general zod. Thanks for the trailer!

  53. serena says:

    I think it’ll be interesting just because it is out of Jen ‘confort rom-com zone’.

  54. RHONYC says:

    that looks funny as f*ck. i’d go see it! 😆

  55. Maggie says:

    This looks hilarious. I’ll watch it. I think she’s a great comedic actress and highly respected. That’s why she’s still working today. I like her!

    • Leah says:

      Highly respected? Bwahahaha.

      • Lulu says:

        I guess we aren’t allowed to have opinions that don’t align with the majority here, is that right?

      • Camille (TheOriginal) says:

        The internet is a big place. There are plenty of celebrity ‘fan’ sites out there if you don’t like people not posting nice things about Aniston, Kardashians etc here.

      • Lulu says:

        @Camille, I don’t have a problem with posters stating their opinions about actors. What I have a problem with, is posters jumping on each other for having a different opinion than their own. That was my read on Leah’s post, because she didn’t type anything substantive, she just bleated with laughter at another poster’s opinion.

        Is that clear enough for you, or do I need to draw you a picture?

      • Camille (TheOriginal) says:

        Awww diddums. LOL indeed 😀

        Eta: Oh you edited your comment pretty quick didn’t you 😉

      • Lulu says:

        Yes, I did. Because I thought of a much better response to your post. One that would actually point out the contradiction in your post, rather than just be amused by it.

  56. K-MAC says:

    looks hilarious!

  57. I Choose Me says:

    This looks terrible but I still wanna see this, mostly because of Will Poulter (the young man playing Kenny).

    Another terrible movie I found myself watching and strangely liking the other day – Neighborhood Watch with Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn being his Vince Vaughniest. Still, there are a couple of scenes (both which take place in the Supermarket) that crack me up every time.

    As for Man of Steel, I am so there. I for one would not mind kneeling (or bending over) before Zod. 😀

  58. videli says:

    From the trailer, this movie looks like a turd, with possibly no saving grace. And I’m an unabashed appreciator of low-brow humor. But I want it to be really bad, or really witty. Instead we have: “Wait, my wife is actually a stripper!” “Yeah? Prove it! (Show us your tits)” Yup, painfully funny. How and why does stuff like this get financing? I call it the Adam Sandler syndrome.

    • Ag says:

      I SO agree re the Adam Sandler syndrome!!! HOW does this shit get financed?! I have school loans to pay off, throw some of that money my way, at least it won’t go to waste.

  59. Elly says:

    She is so desperate… at least her body distracts from her her poor acting performances.

  60. Elisa says:

    I saw a test screening of this and it was pretty funny, but Jennifer is by no means the highlight of the movie. I think the teens were pretty good, also Jason Sudeikis. JA is ok. And yes the stripper routine makes sense/ is necessary in context.

  61. Camille (TheOriginal) says:

    Worst casting for a stripper and the leading man ever! LOL (Sudeikis and Aniston lack any *real* charisma to be leading actors in anything).

    I will say that Aniston does look right as the dowdy, average looking ‘soccer mom’, so maybe that’s why she got cast, because she sure as hell doesn’t pull off the ‘sexy stripper’ look. Try as hard as she likes but she just is NOT sexy in any way, shape or form (imo). She’s a terrible actress unless there is good writing (example: Friends), and I don’t see any good chemistry with this whole cast either. The movie looks like a yawn fest.

    • truthSF says:

      So true Camille. Any character she plays, you know there’s at least five other female actors who can play that part better. She just blend in the movie…she’s never a stand out or memorable imo.

  62. Kelly says:

    She looks desperate. I like her but not impressed.

  63. Ginger says:

    I just don’t find her sexy. The only thing I ever liked her in was office space and get role was minimal. Hubby and I disagree but I find her to bland as plain oatmeal.

    • Joanna says:

      i find her hot and so do most men. asked at work one day, who would you prefer, jen, angelina and i can’t remember who the other was. the guys i polled chose jen.

      • Janet says:

        I remember when that ridiculous men’s magazine had that hilarious cover about Aniston being the hottest woman on the planet. I polled some guys I know to see if they agreed. The all said she’s not even in the top 100.

  64. k says:

    I don’t think it looks funny at all.

  65. lisa says:

    facially that’s unfortunate

    im surprised she has no rider in her contract prohibiting them from putting her hair up or back

  66. crtb says:

    Looks funny!

  67. Maggie says:

    She’s the girl every guy would like to date! Angie is the dirty girl at the party that guys line up for a quickie. I work with a bunch of guys. That’s what they said!

    • Sal says:

      You’re pathetic Maggie, you really are, and you really showed your true colours. Again as usual, its a JenLoon who brings up the triangle. I ALSO work with a lot of guys and the topic came up once. Aniston is the dirty girl that men fuck on their first date and get drunk with. Of course Aniston will be perfect as a stripper, shes basically the Hollywood town pump. And she even admitted it! Angelina is the girl every man wants to marry and protect and worship.

      • Maggie says:

        Sal I gotta laugh at your comment. Comes off as so insane! I bet your blood boiled when you read my comment. It’s the truth like it or not!

    • manly says:

      true….she got dump so many times…..john mayer!!!!!

  68. Janet says:

    I don’t see anything left for her after this. She ought to go back to TV. Maybe she can get a supporting part in a sitcom playing somebody’s mother.

    • Maggie says:

      Wishful thinking on your part Janet. Not gonna happen! She’s a Hollywood bigshot like it or not! The truth is in her consistently being cast in movies. She’s good at what she does. Comedy. You arent convincing anyone with your repetitive negative comments.

  69. Jay says:

    Not a fan of hers, but this seems interesting enough that I’ll probably watch it on a long flight some time or something.

    • asdfe says:

      I think the movie is interesting,
      And the boy is from narhnia..huh..his face is sooo unforgettable,i thought he was a bad looking young boy and now he is a bad looking teen,but he acts well.

  70. Bella says:

    SHE IS THE QUEEN OF PHONEY!FACELIFT EARS
    AND ANOTHER LAME SLAPSTICK LOW BUDGET FILM SHE MUST NEED TO WORK TO KEEP LOSER BOYFRIEND HAPPY SPENDING

  71. GirlyGirl says:

    I’m gonna wait for this to come on Netflix then come up with a new excuse not to watch it.

    Aniston is the poster girl for Hollywood’s issues lately. Boring execs pushing boring celebs to make boring movies.

  72. Twez says:

    Her face is so weirdly flat. It’s like she has no profile at all.

  73. VioletCrumble says:

    Oh, yes. Budget. Very low budget.

  74. Jaxx says:

    I think the movie looks hilarious and may be the first hit she’s had in ages. And why would they use a body double for her when everyone talks about how great she looks?
