Why Him? Movie Review

If you want to laugh your ass off, then watch Why Him?. It is a must-see comedy movie. But let me warn you about the vulgar language. Goodie-twoshoes should stay away because James Franco curses up a storm. Nevertheless, the movie lives up to the hype.

Why Him? is about a smalltown girl named Stephanie from Michigan (played by Zoey Deutch) who falls in love with a wealthy wild California computer guy (played by James Franco), while she attends Stanford. Her parents have no idea who she’s dating. All they know is that Christmas will be spent in California because their daughter invited them. And boy, does this young man have plans for their daughter.

James Franco plays the lead role (Laird). Laird isn’t your stereotypical computer genius. He loves making video games and he loves making love. Laird lives in a mansion with a gatehouse. Buffalos walk around freely on his property. He’s a straightarrow and that’s why he is misunderstood.

He plans on marrying Stephanie, but he wants permission from her father first. Bryan Cranston plays the role of father (Ned). Cranston puts on a memorable performance. You’ll love the climax when Ned finally has had it up to here with Laird.

You see Laird has won over everybody except Ned. First of all, he makes a bad first impression. Secondly, Laird makes a bad second impression. Ned doesn’t like the multimillionaire for a variety of reasons. I won’t discuss the main reason because I don’t want to spoil it for you.

This may be the funniest movie I’ve seen all year. It is a 5 star comedy. James Franco and Zoey Deutch are a believable couple. You couldn’t ask for a more perfect union.

The script was well-written. The acting was phenomenal. I would definitely watch it again. You should see it and laugh your ass off too.

Seth Meyers joked that Hanukkah lasts for 2 weeks and Christmas lasts for 2 months. ‘I don’t care what the calendar says, I wish it was Christmas today.’ See this neat Saturday Night Live clip.

A Christmas Carol is my favorite on the list. I identify with Ebenezer Scrooge. The story never grows old. Are you afraid of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future?

Have you seen The Polar Express, Elf and Four Christmases? Which is the best Santa Clause…1,2, or 3? Does How the Grinch Stole Christmas surprise you at number 1?

Without further ado, let’s look at the top 10.

Top 10

10. Christmas with the Kranks $ 74 Million

9. The Nightmare Before Christmas $ 75 M

8. The Santa Clause 3: Escape Clause $84.5 M

7. Four Christmases $120.1 M

The top 10 highest grossing Christmas movies total $1.39 Billion. What is your favorite Xmas movie? Did it make the top 10? Also, are you listening to Christmas songs this season?

Jim Carrey and Tim Allen have multiple movies in the top 10. So, if you want to make a big budget Xmas flick, offer Carrey and Allen a role. Will Ferrell isn’t a bad choice either.

The holidays are all about giving. Don’t worry if you can’t give a monetary gift. You can give a hug or a kiss. The best things in life are free!
