¿Por qué él?

I mean where to start. This movie was something it's not your usual Rom-Com. It goes way n beyond in both drama and comedy. It has no boundaries which makes it exciting and funny. Yes super hilarious combined with unexpected scenarios but still it somehow manages to find ways to tell a romantic story through it all.

Cast has amazing actresses like Zoey and megan. They spark the plug whenever they're on the screen but Franco, Bryan and Keegan they create that fire. That fire might be cringy, exaggerated but it's extremely hilarious to watch as they act out.

It really is just a funny and raunchy movie to watch and not over-focus on the plots and its logic making (although it is important). Cameos are cool and unpredictable. Music in it is a vibe and matched it really well. Scenes are amazingly shot. They are rich in colours and feels stylish.

7/10

Thank you for reading this :)

"Why Him" is a movie with jokes that actually got me to laugh.

I like the concept of a programmer/hermit (Laird) getting with a smart girl from Stanford (Stephanie) and making a first impression to her parents, which is an absolute failure.

There's a fair bit of sex scenes and profanity (Laird's swearing, especially when unintended, is entertaining) so don't watch this with your children. While a comedy, not a comedy for the whole family.

However, I don't really like any other aspects. The plot is sloppy and repetitive, and the whole film centers around 1 day or so. Camerawork could have been better executed.

Sending my love to Gustav (especially the actor).

I still mourn for the time I spent watching this thing it can't be classified as a movie it would be an insult to cinema I strongly advise you to not watch it. If only there was a tool to erase my m memory so I could wipe this movie completely from my mind it is ground zero it's terrible it's a waste of time.

There is a weird guy who is ultra rich and loves a girl and to marry her he needs her father's consent and for this reason invites her family to his castle like luxury House where he also works with his employees and this guy can't speak without f word. Everyone puts up with him just because his richness cover his unacceptable weird psychopath behaviors.

It might be prudent never to judge a book by its cover, but often enough, the author would give you a good idea what you're about to invest your time in. Bryan Cranston and James Franco doing a comedy together was enough to give me the necessary shove to press "Play" on this one.

I like comedies but finding a good one lately has been a challenge. Been disappointed many times with trailers that seem promising only to find out that those scenes are the best the entire movie has to offer. There have also recently been a bunch of comedies relying on the director's or the leads' reputation to carry the film to box office and critical success only to crash and burn upon release. This one is a rare exception. Congratulations to the team for getting it just right! James' Laird was a delicate balance. Annoying yet sweet, sometimes offensive but without being repulsive. Bryan's Ned fits the stereotype yet has been restrained enough to remain relatable. Even the cameo from Gene and Paul, though expected, came out fresh.

If you're looking for a fun movie, give this one a try. Be forewarned though of the liberal use of profanities.

This was on my year-end list as well. It was buried somewhere down the list.. like it was nearly hanging off of it. Actually, it was in a separate list of "Films I may or may not see in December if reviews are really bad". Why Him? actually did get awful reviews. But for some reason, I wanted to take a chance on it. I felt something was there. For one, I am a Franco-file, and I love him in anything he's in. So I went and saw it.

I was pleasantly surprised. I laughed a lot. It's really just a goofy movie, and that's alright by me. Don't put too much thought going in. If your afraid of not laughing, even a little bit, leave that nonsense at the door, and enjoy the show. James Franco brings his A-game here, and is once again totally hysterical. Bryan Cranston has great comedic timing. Megan Mullally is a scene stealer. Kegan-Michael Key is bonkers. It's got Kaley Cuoco as an awesome version of Siri, the best of Silicon Valley, Adam Devine, a moose dipped in urine that explodes. Oh, and 1/2 of the band KISS in full costume and makeup. It's been a while since a comedy movie made a tribute to one of the greatest bands of the 70's. Role Models was the last one. You could say that it's shamelessly borrowing from Role Models, but in Role Models it felt forced and unnecessary. In Why Him? It fits in with the craziness.

This is a holiday, cornball comedy that doesn't suck.. as they tend to.
