Why Him? Why me?

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 17, 2021

Balances raunchy humour - an awkward electronic toilet sequence rivals anything from the Adam Sandler canon - with actual heartfelt storytelling resulting in an enjoyably bawdy holiday pastime.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 3, 2021

It consistently makes you laugh throughout the 110 minute duration. [Full review in Spanish]

The film isn't built of evil, but it tests your endurance, especially in the second half, without much payoff.

There is nothing new or earth-shattering about Why Him? The story has been told a thousand times before and I'm sure this isn't the last time we will see it.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 28, 2019

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

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 20, 2019

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 9, 2019

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 13, 2019

Oh Bryan Cranston, how far the mighty can fall.

| Original Score: D+ | Nov 5, 2018

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

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 1, 2018

Annoyingly lazy and trite with nothing but juvenile humor stretched to nearly two hours, "Why Him?" is a Christmas comedy that needs nothing but coal in its stocking.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 30, 2018

Viewers in the mood for a holiday-related film with a little more raunch than sentimentality could do a lot worse than "Why Him?"

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 24, 2018

It is less like Father of the Bride and more reminiscent of the recent hit Bridesmaid. This is a comic, feel good movie with depth.

| Aug 21, 2018

Tired though its poop jokes may be, this movie techcrunchdisrupts the palliative, if retrograde, formula of previous genre classics to deliver a bracing shot of Trumpian cynicism.

James Franco in comedy mode is an acquired taste at the best of times, and this whole trip leaves a unpleasant taste behind

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 1, 2018

Why Him? is part of a promising premise, although it makes the mistake of simply repeating the formula that "works", without developing its innovative potential... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 29, 2018

I will say Why Him? was definitely a good time...

| Jan 25, 2018

... it's simply the classic battle of Family Man vs. Freak Show, and it is 100% one of the funniest films of the last year.

| Jan 24, 2018

A crass comedy as obnoxious as its lead character.

| Original Score: C- | Jan 8, 2018

John Hamburg's R-rated comedy shuffles out a tired premise, re-sets it at the holidays for maximum last-reel feels and hangs it with a slew of witless gags (now with more profanity!).
