Review of Why Him? (2016) by Mick Lasalle for San Francisco Chronicle — 21 Dec 2016
Why Him? takes a comic situation and then does everything it can to undermine it. It’s more than unfunny. It’s anti-funny. It doesn’t provoke laughter or even neutral silence, but an increasingly stunned disdain.
It is the movie equivalent of putting on a plaster life mask and letting it dry and lock your face into an expression of blank misery.
