The question in this movie's title gets a lot of use. A version of it could also apply to pretty much everyone involved, especially Cranston.
Full reviewA loving father (Bryan Cranston) cannot allow a happy-go-douchie millenial millionare (James Franco) to marry his daughter in this comedy. From the director of I Love You, Man.
Over the holidays, Ned (Cranston) and his family visit his daughter (Zoey Deutch) at Stanford, where he meets his biggest nightmare: her well-meaning but socially awkward Silicon Valley billionaire boyfriend, Laird (Franco). The straight-laced Ned thinks Laird, who has absolutely no filter, is a wildly inappropriate match for his daughter. The one-sided rivalry and Ned’s panic level escalate when he finds himself increasingly out of step in the glamorous high-tech hub, and learns that Laird is about to pop the question.

Full reviewProving definitively that slapping Mr. Franco's scenery-eating grin on any old drivel doesn't guarantee entertainment, "Why Him?" is trite, crass and insultingly moronic.
Full reviewThere is a passable 85-minute comedy in here, caked in an additional 30 minutes of flab. Call it a dad-bod comedy.
Full reviewAlmost nothing anyone does registers as recognisably human; it's all just a pretext for yet another round of envelope-pushing outrageousness.
Full reviewWhy Him? is the best Judd Apatow movie that Judd Apatow had nothing to do with: it's sweet, raunchy, big-hearted, and very, very funny.
Full reviewWhy Him? is available to stream in Australia now on Google Play and Apple TV and Disney+ and Prime Video Store.
