Bryan Cranston and Megan Mullaly are excellent as the parents, Zoey Deutch plays the daughter very well, it's just James Franco as the tech mogul who doesn't convince us. You'd never see him invited to the White House for dinner since he…

Definitely a modern take on humor and family dynamics but in general very funny for a raunchy family-esque comedy.

Storyline has been used many times, but there are some rather funny scenes. Unfortunately, the use of bad language is so overused that it absolutely ruins the movie. The "excuse" is that the main character has "no filter" ... really ...…

This is absolutely, bar none, the WORST movie I have seen in my life. One stupid, contrived, cringy scene after another. An endless stream of sex, urine, profanity, drugs, and humor only a 14 year old would laugh at. Just…

I found the movie to be entertaining. I have to admit that I did laugh at points. The story line is the typical one where the father meets his precious daughters boyfriend and just hates him. Although this one particular boy is a huge…

Hilarious! Excellent view of misunderstanding/conflict between two generations working in the media using different tools: the before internet, and the now internet. This movie is particularly addressed to those who are working in the …

This movie was funny. Alot of swearing though! I like the fact that KISS actually played a part in this movie.

Just not appropriate to watch period! Too much foul profanity and inappropriate scenes. Why can't movies be like back in the 50's and 60's? Clean humor that made you laugh and put a smile on your face.

If you are in the right frame of mind and are not insulted by foul language, there are lots of laughs in this movie. It is outside of the social norm for most adults over 40.

How many times do we have to hear the "F" bomb in a movie., 100, 200, 300, 400? Shocked Bryan Cranston put his name on this debacle. Crude and lewed, poor story line.

Why Him? is a genuinely hilarious and surprising comedy with a star-studded cast that's perfect for a Christmas movie night!

There are some laughs in the first 45 minutes, but the last half of the film is completely adrift in a nauseatingly-sweet idealized middle-class world view. I don't see a lot of big budget Hollywood comedies, but it seems that they rely on…

Comedies have a sense of logic. Good movies have characters who are all smart, more or less, say smart and interesting things that move the story forward, more or less, and behave in human ways. None of these characters appear in this…

I thought it was sweet and funny. Just something purely to watch to have a nice laugh and smile.

Unfortunately, I have to say "PURE GARBAGE".

I rated this a Zero. If I could rate it LOWER I would. Pure FILTH. The library and hollywood should be embarassed to have such a low quality film. If this is American Entertainment; then this country is in deep moral trouble.

One of our library staff members commented on this movie. She said a better title for this movie would have been "Why bother?"

There probably are a few thousand people in Hollywood who would like this film. My guess is that everyone else would hate it. Nothing but F-bomb after F-bomb trashy low brow humor with a very weak story line. I find it hard to believe…

A dopey, f-bomb-ridden Franco film, WHY HIM is a new take on the often-sweet (but not this time) daddy's-little-girl-growing-up-and-going-steady genre. You know the ones -- GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER was one of the great originals, but…

Not good, I expected more from these two funny lead men. Only had a fee good laughs, but not a funny movie.
