Review of Why Him?

Why Him? (2016)
7/10
Actually okay saved by a good ending
7 June 2017
Warning: Spoilers
If you ignore the over the top vulgarities this comedy is actually okay. The best part is the ending which is actually quite refreshing in that the young girl turns out to be sensible. The story is kind of familiar father disapproves of future son in law. Especially when he is convincing his daughter to drop out of Stanford.

The cast is good - anything with Bryan Cranston can't be that bad. James Franco is over the top - could have toned it down a bit. Zoey Deutsch looks prettier than in her previous movies - she is quite sweet here.

Almost all big budget comedies are vulgar nowadays and this one is no exception at least the ending makes up for it.
