Sudeikis, Aniston team up again

NEW YORK — In the movies, the funny guy who gets the laughs hardly ever gets the girl. In real life, Jason Sudeikis is doing just fine. The 37- year- old dated January Jones, then after they broke up, rebounded into the arms of his current significant other, Olivia Wilde. But neither his social life nor his recent departure from Saturday Night Live was on his mind as he sat next to his We’re the Millers co- star Jennifer Aniston in a Manhattan hotel suite. Indeed, he was all about the Millers. The raunchy comedy features Aniston and Sudeikis, who have worked together previously on The Bounty Hunter and Horrible Bosses. “All I had to do was stand there and look pretty,” Sudeikis joked, turning to Aniston. “It must have been a nice change of pace for you.” She grinned back at him before adding, “It was so refreshing.” Silliness aside, they have lots to do in the movie. Sudeikis portrays small- time drug dealer Dave, who ends up in a jam when street thugs steal his pot stash and his money. To pay back the huge debt to his supplier ( Ed Helms), Dave agrees to smuggle a drug shipment from Mexico to the U. S. by posing as a middle- class husband and father on an RV family vacation. He hires his desperate stripper neighbour Rose ( Aniston) to pretend to be his wife and a homeless young adult Casey ( Emma Roberts) and a virginal teen Kenny ( Will Poulter) to fake it as his kids. “I think we actually did become a family on set and off, though,” Aniston said. “You spend three, four months of your life every day together, and you just begin to like each other.” When Sudeikis, a master at improv comedy, did wing it occasionally, he said Aniston was with him every step of the way. “Jen has been with some of the greats ( in movies) like Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller and Jim Carrey,” Sudeikis said. “So she knows what she’s doing.”
