Review of Why Him? (2016) by The3Academysins — 24 Nov 2017
Why Him? was a surprisingly enjoyable Holiday comedy for me. Bryan Cranston and James Franco shine with some really great comedic moments, and the rest of the cast is great too, with the exception of some of the minor side characters.
The writing is a little predictable and sometimes falls into the pitfalls of a big-budget Hollywood comedy, but there were some great sidesteps, like making James Franco's character a lovable idiot as opposed to a jerk.
Some minor plot elements never went anywhere, but overall, Why Him? is a great movie to put on in the background of a family Holiday occasion. I could even see it become a tradition at some family gatherings.
