The family road-trip adventure is given new meaning in this new comedy from Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story). David Burke (Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer who minds his own business and supplies to a small clientele that includes chefs and soccer mums. He likes to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, but when a bad deal goes wrong with some teenage punks, he’s forced to change his position. Left in major debt to his supplier Brad (Helms), David has little control over his position.
He has no option but to take drastic measures to wipe his slate clean. At the command of his boss, David must now become a big-time drug smuggler. His task is to bring his boss’s latest shipment in from Mexico, but David, inexperienced with such a big job, needs all the help he can get.
With few options available to him he comes up with a cunning plan – form a fake family. He gets the help of his neighbours, hiring stripper Rose (Aniston), geeky wannabe Kenny (Will Poulter) and streetwise teen Casey (Roberts) as his wife and children.
And so the new ‘family’ head for the border, in what is a very unique road-trip adventure…
