Why Him?

A talented cast makes for some amusing moments, but they are otherwise largely wasted on this formulaic script.

Why Him? creates some explosive comedic moments. When they catch you off guard, it's funny and a little thrilling. Between these moments, it's an entirely predictable family-fallout plot with a wholesome message.

It's an uninspired take on the classic "father versus fiancé" comedic trope, bringing nothing to the table despite a cast talented enough to give us something a good deal more interesting.

Oh Bryan Cranston, how far the mighty can fall.

There aren't really jokes in the movie, just an array of pop culture references and obvious pratfalls.
