Why Him?

Over the holidays, Ned (Bryan Cranston), an overprotective but loving dad and his family visit his daughter at Stanford, where he meets his biggest nightmare: her well-meaning but socially awkward Silicon Valley billionaire boyfriend, Laird (James Franco). The straight-laced Ned thinks Laird, who has absolutely no filter, is a wildly inappropriate match for his daughter. The one-sided rivalry-and Ned's panic level-escalate when he finds himself increasingly out of step in the glamorous high-tech hub, and learns that Laird is about to pop the question.

This movie was completely formula in every way and you pretty much have seen the movie just by watching the commercial.  That being said I still kind of enjoyed the movie.  James Franco was great talking vulgar freely and him and Cranston had really good chemistry.  The other supporting actors held their own laugh wise.  So even though completely predictable - still a decent watch.

I'd sort of recommend people checking this movie out.  It is by no means a must see but it was enjoyable still and you could do much worse than this.  It's definitely a R rated comedy though.
