Read my spoiler-free movie review of Why Him? (2016).
Why Him? is the new ‘meet the parents’ comedy from James Franco, Bryan Cranston, Megan Mullally and Zoey Deutch.
This should be good because director/co-writer John Hamburg also wrote for the Paul Rudd and Jason Segel bromance classic, I Love You, Man (2009). Plus, Ben Stiller’s Meet The Parents (2000).
James Franco in roles where he’s a little bit of an idiot, while also totally remaining lovable, are my favourites of his work. If you’ve seen and loved Pineapple Express (2008) and This Is The End (2013), then chances are you know exactly what I mean.
Why Him? Release Dates: December 25th, 2016 (US); January 6th, 2017 (UK); January 8th, 2017 (FR) January 12th, 2017 (GER)…
Keegan-Michael Key and Griffin Gluck also star.

James is good in serious roles too. But I do get it about Pineapple Express.
One day when I feel decidedly brave, who knows…
