Critic's Consensus: Solidly cast but overall misconceived, Why Him? offers the odd chuckle, but ultimately adds disappointingly little to its tired father-vs.-fiancé formula.

My comments: Okay, I loved this movie. It was really crass and really funny. All the actors were wonderful, though I wished it had shown a little more about the relationship between Laird and Steph. But the scenes between Bryan Cranston and James Franco were a RIOT!!!!! James Franco can do anything...and all the wild & crazy paintings throughout the movie were done by him. Love it, love it. Today is Chrismas, I saw it last night and I can't get it out of my head. What a hoot!
RT/ IMDb Summary: Over the holidays, Ned (Bryan Cranston), an overprotective but loving dad and his family visit his daughter at Stanford, where he meets his biggest nightmare: her well-meaning but socially awkward Silicon Valley billionaire boyfriend, Laird (James Franco). The straight-laced Ned thinks Laird, who has absolutely no filter, is a wildly inappropriate match for his daughter. The one-sided rivalry-and Ned's panic level-escalate when he finds himself increasingly out of step in the glamorous high-tech hub, and learns that Laird is about to pop the question.
