Why Him?

I watched Why Him? yesterday. It’s the story of a mid-west family who are surprised to learn that their daughter is dating an eccentric billionaire. When the father, Ned, played by Brian Cranston, learns that Larid, played by James Franco, wants to marry his daughter, he isn’t too happy about it and plots to end the relationship.

I liked the Brian Cranston and James Franco partnership, they played off of each other pretty well. I thought that the plot was fun and even though this is my type of comedy - raunchy with a touch of heart, there were parts that were pretty ridiculous. I’m glad I didn’t see this one in theaters, but if you are looking for something that doesn’t require much thought and mostly funny check it out.
