If you loved the outrageous road trip comedy We’re the Millers, you’re probably craving more movies that deliver big laughs with a side of raunchiness. We’re the Millers follows a fake family assembled by a small-time drug dealer to help him smuggle a huge shipment of marijuana across the Mexico-U.S. border. Hilarity ensues as this group of misfits tries to maintain their cover.
Luckily, there are plenty of other uproarious comedies in the same vein as We’re the Millers. Whether it’s a disastrous vacation, a wild bachelor party, an outlandish crime caper, or an R-rated romp, these flicks are packed with crude humor, zany characters, and ridiculous situations that will keep you in stitches. Get ready for non-stop laughter with the 15 best movies like We’re the Millers.
1. EuroTrip (2004)
EuroTrip follows a similar premise as We’re the Millers – a group of friends embark on a crazy trip, in this case backpacking across Europe. After getting dumped by his girlfriend, high school grad Scott decides to take an overseas adventure with his buddies. Their quest to meet up with Scott’s German pen pal leads them into all sorts of awkward and hilarious situations as they travel from London to Paris to Berlin and more.
Like We’re the Millers, EuroTrip gleefully indulges in raunchy, politically incorrect humor and plays on American stereotypes of Europeans. It’s got everything you could want in a teen sex comedy romp. While critics were mixed on it, EuroTrip delivers on the laughs and makes for a fun, brainless watch, especially if you enjoy travel shenanigans.

2. Vacation (2015)
Vacation is a sequel/reboot of the classic National Lampoon’s Vacation franchise, this time focusing on a grown-up Rusty Griswold taking his own family on a disastrous road trip to Walley World theme park. Rusty wants to recreate his childhood vacation to bring his family closer together, but as you can guess, everything that can go wrong does go wrong.
Like We’re the Millers, Vacation is built on the tried-and-true comedy premise of a dysfunctional family trapped together on a nightmarish road trip. Mishaps and gross-out gags ensue, with the Griswolds encountering one humiliation after another on their cursed cross-country journey. Vacation definitely earns its R rating and provides a decent amount of laughs, even if it doesn’t quite live up to the original Vacation movies.

3. Horrible Bosses (2011)
Horrible Bosses may not be a road trip movie, but like We’re the Millers it revolves around a group of average joes getting pulled into a criminal scheme. Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis star as three friends who hate their jobs and decide to murder their awful bosses. But these guys are the furthest thing from cold-blooded killers, so their assassination plots quickly go off the rails in funny fashion.
While the premise is dark, Horrible Bosses keeps things light and breezy, focusing more on the comedy of errors than any real violence. The three leads have great chemistry together and play well off of the scene-stealing supporting cast that includes Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell, and Jamie Foxx. If you like your comedies with a raunchy edge and just a bit of a crime caper element, Horrible Bosses is a fun pick.

4. Dirty Grandpa (2016)
Dirty Grandpa is another “road trip from hell” comedy in the same vein as We’re the Millers. Robert De Niro stars as a perverted grandpa who tricks his uptight grandson (Zac Efron) into driving him to Florida for spring break debauchery. De Niro is a blast to watch as he says and does the most wildly inappropriate things in his quest to get laid.
The raunchy, juvenile humor in Dirty Grandpa is very hit-or-miss and the movie was critically panned. But if you’re a fan of We’re the Millers, you’ll probably find yourself chuckling at the sheer absurdity of it all. Dirty Grandpa fully commits to its filthy premise and doesn’t hold back. You’ll never look at De Niro the same way again after seeing this.

5. The Hangover (2009)
No list of outrageous comedies is complete without The Hangover. This modern classic follows four friends on a bachelor party trip to Las Vegas that goes horribly wrong after a night of blackout drinking. They wake up with no memory of the night before and discover that the groom is missing. The Wolf Pack must piece together clues to their debauched evening to find their friend before his wedding.
The Hangover ups the ante for raunchy comedy, with plenty of male nudity, drug use, foul language, and WTF moments. But it’s also really clever in how it doles out reveals of the guys’ crazy night. Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper, and Zach Galifianakis make for a hilarious trio of bumbling dudes in over their heads. If you want to laugh your ass off, The Hangover is a must-watch.

6. Game Night (2018)
Game Night is a bit more of an action-comedy than the other films on this list, but it shares We’re the Millers‘ comedic DNA. Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams play a competitive couple whose game night with friends turns into a real-life crime adventure when one of them gets kidnapped. The group must work together to take down the criminals in a life-sized version of their favorite games.
With a sharp script and great performances from the ensemble cast, Game Night is a smart, funny, and refreshingly original comedy. The laughs come fast and the plot actually keeps you guessing. Game Night proves you can make a hilarious adult comedy without relying solely on gross-out gags and F-bombs. It’s a bit more highbrow than We’re the Millers but provides just as many laughs.

7. Road Trip (2000)
One of the defining raunchy comedies of the early 2000s, Road Trip laid the groundwork for movies like We’re the Millers. The film follows four college friends driving from Ithaca, New York to Austin, Texas to retrieve an illicit sex tape before it reaches its intended recipient. Many misadventures occur along the way as the guys get into trouble at every stop.
Road Trip has all the staples of the genre – scantily clad women, poop jokes, stoner humor, slapstick gags. But it also has a sweetness to it and you can’t help but root for these knuckleheads. Sean William Scott is at his best as the obnoxious party bro E.L. and Tom Green gets some of the biggest laughs as the disturbed tour guide Barry. For a quintessential early aughts sex comedy romp, give Road Trip a spin.

8. Due Date (2010)
Another road trip comedy with an odd couple pairing, Due Date stars Robert Downey Jr. as an expectant father rushing to get across the country in time for his child’s birth. After a run-in with aspiring actor Ethan (Zach Galifianakis) gets him put on the no-fly list, Peter reluctantly agrees to drive cross-country with the eccentric Ethan.
Due Date was directed by The Hangover‘s Todd Phillips so it has a similar style of humor – crude, crass, but still witty and well-constructed. RDJ and Galifianakis are perfectly cast as the straight man and wild card, and their chemistry helps elevate the film. Due Date doesn’t reinvent the wheel but it provides solid laughs and wacky situations for fans of road trip comedies.

9. Identity Thief (2013)
Identity Thief puts a criminal spin on the mismatched travel companions premise. Jason Bateman plays a mild-mannered businessman who tracks down the con artist (Melissa McCarthy) who stole his identity. He must bring her from Florida to Denver to clear his name, but she turns out to be more than he bargained for.
McCarthy’s fearless physical comedy chops are on full display here, as she gleefully tumbles, crashes, and fights her way through the film. She and Bateman make an entertaining duo, even if some of the gags and sappy moments don’t quite land. Like We’re the Millers, Identity Thief balances its edginess and silliness with a little bit of heart.

10. Masterminds (2016)
Masterminds is based on the true story of one of the biggest bank heists in U.S. history. Zach Galifianakis stars as an armored truck driver who is convinced by his work crush (Kristen Wiig) to rob his company of $17 million. He pulls it off but things quickly spiral out of control as the thieves try to keep their story straight.
While not a road trip movie per se, Masterminds has a similar vibe of dimwit criminals in way over their heads. Galifianakis, Wiig, and the rest of the impressive cast (including Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis) are clearly having a blast playing these trailer park dolts and their enthusiasm is infectious. Masterminds is a lightweight but undeniably fun caper comedy.

11. Let’s Be Cops (2014)
Let’s Be Cops takes the “regular guys in extraordinary circumstances” premise of We’re the Millers and applies it to a cop comedy. When two slacker roommates dress up as police for a costume party, they discover that people actually believe they are real officers of the law. They take advantage of this newfound power but soon cross paths with mobsters and must become the heroes they are pretending to be.
New Girl co-stars Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. bring their great buddy chemistry to the big screen in Let’s Be Cops. The film coasts on their charisma and comic timing, as well as some solid action set pieces. You’ll have to suspend a lot of disbelief to buy the plot, but Let’s Be Cops is worth a watch for the lead performances alone.

12. 21 Jump Street (2012)
Based on the 80s TV series that launched Johnny Depp’s career, 21 Jump Street is a prime example of how to do a comedy reboot right. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum star as two rookie cops who go undercover as high school students to bust a drug ring. Hijinks ensue as they try to infiltrate different cliques and relive their teenage glory days.
21 Jump Street is very self-aware and pokes fun at its own premise, with lots of meta jokes about recycling old ideas. But it works because of the surprisingly great comedic pairing of Hill and Tatum, who play off each other perfectly. Add in a clever script, a game supporting cast, and a bouncy energy and you’ve got one of the funniest cop movie spoofs ever. It’s a smart dumb comedy, just like We’re the Millers.

13. Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)
Hot Tub Time Machine is a lot better than its title would suggest. The film follows three friends and one of their nephews as they travel back to 1986 via a magical hot tub. Determined to make the most of this blast to the past, the guys set out to right old wrongs and maybe invent Google while they’re at it.
Hot Tub Time Machine is a love letter to 80s comedies, with all the sex, booze, and irreverent humor you’d expect from that era. But it’s also really clever in how it plays with time travel tropes and gives each character a satisfying arc. The cast is totally game, especially Rob Corddry as the obnoxious Lou. If you have any nostalgia for the 80s, Hot Tub Time Machine is a must.

14. Neighbors (2014)
Neighbors explores the classic conflict between rowdy frat boys and the quiet couple next door. Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne star as new parents who are horrified when a hard-partying fraternity moves in next door. They try to play it cool at first, but soon an epic battle breaks out between the thirtysomethings and the college kids.
Like We’re the Millers, Neighbors earns its R rating with gleefully crude and raunchy humor. But it’s also a surprisingly insightful look at getting older and leaving your wild youth behind. Rogen and Byrne have fantastic chemistry and Zac Efron is perfectly cast as the obnoxious frat leader. Neighbors is loud, crass, and tons of fun.

15. Tropic Thunder (2008)
Tropic Thunder is a Hollywood satire masquerading as a war movie spoof. Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., and Jack Black play pampered actors making a Vietnam War film who get caught up in a real conflict with drug lords. Forced to become the soldiers they are portraying, the actors must put aside their egos and use their acting skills to survive.
With an insanely quotable script and an all-star cast clearly having a blast, Tropic Thunder is a comedy classic. It skewers everything from method acting to studio greed to awards show bait. Downey Jr. in particular is a riot as the pretentious thespian who undergoes “pigmentation alteration” to play a black character. Like We’re the Millers, Tropic Thunder takes big swings and doesn’t always stick the landing, but you can’t help but admire its go-for-broke comedic spirit.
