Review of Why Him? (2016) by Dan M — 03 Oct 2017
Along the same lines as the movie Son-in-Law, but without the annoying antics of Pauly Shore(yes I liked it when it came out). It's really hard for a modern day comedy to make me laugh because a lot of them are just horribly written, have the same usual tired endings and the comedians usually suck in them.
This wasn't true of this, at least for me. James Franco is hilarious and very likable, as well as Bryan Cranston is as the serious father type. Of course not all the jokes are home runs, but more of them hit than miss.
Zoey Deutch is friggin' cute, and Keegan-Michael Key is great in a supporting role here too.
