Proprio lui?

Despite what other people wrote I thought it was fun and hilarious. My daughter talked me into watching it...I was not disappointed 🙂

Why him? I tell you why, because I can't think of any other actor who can transform this this cinematic excrement into a gourmet dish. There is a matteroffactness in his character that lives somewhere between Rupert Pumpkin and Howard Hughes, the thing is that the life James Franco gives to his character is absolutely real. The film could have turned into a horror thriller, because Franco forces you, in the most entertaining way, to feel slightly off-balance. That alone keeps you glued to it in spite of the moronic lack of ideas. Bryan Cranston, of course, is sheer perfection. Reacting hilariously to the absurdity with infinite generosity - A trait of great actors - I wish them a Billy Wilder next time or a Preston Sturges or...you know. Fearless originals just like Franco and Cranston.

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 :)

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.

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.
