Why Him?

Why Him?

Comedy

A holiday gathering threatens to go off the rails when Ned Fleming realizes that his daughter's Silicon Valley billionaire boyfriend boyfriend is about to pop the question.

The critical consensus

In its own goofy, lowbrow way, the film is plenty of fun.

With its superior cast and frisky script, Why Him? could be the comedy to unite the generations. Kids, take your parents. Parents, take your kids.

In this moderately entertaining Christmas comedy, Cranston plays a dad anxious about a tech billionaire’s interest in his daughter.

Sluggish, over-long, laugh-light.

Another week, another crude, charmless American comedy.

Strait-laced parents meet their daughter’s hipster boyfriend in an enjoyable romp with whiplash comic timing.
