(WHY HIM? - COVER)
Starring James Franco and Bryan Cranston, "Why Him?" is an exceptional movie with the typical modern day plot. Although, I wouldn't say it'll be the funniest movie you've seen all year, I will say that there are moments in the film that might make you spit out your drink from laughing so hard. Aside from the various scenes of James Franco stealing the show (the guy's a comedian), I would say that it was his "assistant" who completely saved the film. Comdian Keegan-Michael Key, who you may know from the "Key and Peele" show, like always, was absolutely hilarious in almost every scene. I also thought that Bryan Cranston was consistently funny as well, which came of no surprise because of the "Malcolm in the Middle" TV series that I grew up watching him in as a kid. Overall, WHY HIM? is a solid movie in my opinion, but as a critic, I cannot say that it lived up to its "advertised expectation". However, if a quick funny movie is what you are looking for, this movie will certainly do the trick.
