It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
This one makes the holiday hall of fame list. Very funny!!
I love Franco, I loved This Is The End, love Jonah Hill, and Bryan Cranston. I wanted to love this movie. I like stupid comedies. But they have to be at least a little bit funny. This isn't. Not even a tiny bit. Not one chuckle, just cringed... a lot. God awful. Key, honey, nice effort, but it was beyond help. Watching with someone who thought City Slickers 2 was quality humor and even he didn't laugh. Truly that low.
My question is simply this, why would Brian Cranston, the fine actor that he is, appear in this farce. The premise is silly and the story line is boring at best. This movie makes Cranston's character out to be an idiot just because he doesn't agree with everything the fiancé does. Besides, no Father would honestly agree to approve a marriage of his daughter to this guy. A waste of 2 hours
Knowing nothing about this movie beforehand, I had no expectations when I began to watch Why Him? And since I was feeling ill at the time (too drained to do anything other than watch a movie on my Amazon Prime/HBO channel) I was thinking that I would probably fall asleep before I got to the middle of the movie. That's not what happened. I just about laughed my head off throughout the whole thing. Unfortunately, each time I began to laugh that caused my cough to start up again, and then I would get to coughing so hard that I'd start hacking up great big wads of phlegm (and my dog would hop up off her bed and rush over to me to place her paw in my lap, her eyes full of worry; she probably thought I was dying). But, man oh man, it was great to laugh so hard on a day when I was feeling so under the weather.Why Him? is definitely one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, and because it made me laugh so hard (so many, many times), I'm giving it a 10 as well as a hearty thumbs-up.
