Review of Why Him? (2016) by Dawdlingpoet — 23 Nov 2021

I found this very amusing and it does feature some pretty strong language and many sex references, which usually isnt the sort of thing to greatly appeal to me, so to speak but this is such a sort of zany, silly film that I liked it.

The main character reminded me a little of Cuckoo from the BBC3 show of the same name. Bryan Cranston playing the frustrated father who has to somehow not lose his rag, made me laugh and the plot is so goofy and over the top, its hard to take it at all seriously.

If I had to compare it to another film, I'd compare it to 'You, Me & Dupree' which I also really liked. I realise their not exactly the most intelligent of films but sometimes a bit of dumb and silly comedy isn't that bad (although I'm still not keen on films like Superbad and Pineapple Express).

I would recommend this film as I found myself laughing or giggling to myself for the vast duration of the film really.
