Review of Why Him? (2016) by Moonman1994 — 24 Nov 2017

While Why Him has some genuinely amusing moments these moments are few and far between. While the film is boosted by the performances of the casts the rather juvenile writing makes it so that many strings of jokes miss.

Oddly good jokes seem to be limited to a couple scenes interspaced by a number of awkward moments. By the end of the movie you're still not sure of if you actually like Franco's character or if you just think he's an ass which is a major failing on the movie's part as you are clearly supposed to find him endearing by the end.

All and all Why Him? isn't a terrible comedy movie but its not all that great either. You'll definitely laugh but you'll also almost definitely reach the end of the movie and feel unsatisfied. 4.
