A comedy where Franco's unquestionable talent is buried under a rough and crude script, and Cranston looks uncomfortable at all times. [Full review in Spanish]

For this puerile farce, director John Hamburg recycles a tired premise -- a straitlaced father disapproves of his daughter's freewheeling boyfriend -- and then drowns it in moose urine (really).

I'm not going to lie. I laughed - just not as frequently or as hard as I would have liked to.

I recommend it with reservations, although I am also reserving the right to feel, someday, probably sooner rather than later, embarrassed for laughing at it as much as I did.

Uneven but funny enough ...

The script supplies some funny gags, but they're terribly overworked and come with a welter of unnecessary comic scaffolding.

What say we tiptoe quietly away and pretend this movie never happened?

If, at the end of Cranston's run on "Breaking Bad," we all wondered whether he'd ever find a movie role as good as Walter White, this one is cause to shake our heads sadly.

Like "Meet the Parents," but littered with F-bombs, "Why Him?" is a holiday comedy that never quite figures itself out.
January 16, 2017
A romantic comedy with disparate characters, in which we can see that times are changing and now the father of the bride passes from being dominating to be the one dominated. [Full review in Spanish]

The more Franco swears or flashes his tats, the less funny things become, although Keegan-Michael Key as Laird's wacky assistant does raise the odd chuckle with his Pink-Panther-style, martial-arts ambushes of his boss.

It all works in theory. But the execution's off.
