Leave your thoughts about Why Him?.
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsWhy Him? may be the funniest new film you'll see this or any other Christmas. |
| We Live EntertainmentFred TopelFor a movie that is essentially a reverse Meet the Parents, it is remarkable how the very writer of Meet the Parents doesn't seem to understand how Meet the Parents works. |
| El Mundo (Spain)Alberto LuchiniA comedy where Franco's unquestionable talent is buried under a rough and crude script, and Cranston looks uncomfortable at all times. [Full review in Spanish] |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderOverall, the laughs are scattershot, but the tone is good-natured, and the humor isn’t cruel. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowDisgusting and outrageous does not equal funny, no matter how much moose urine you pour onto it. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Erin FreeWhy Him? is the best Judd Apatow movie that Judd Apatow had nothing to do with: it's sweet, raunchy, big-hearted, and very, very funny. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA crass comedy as obnoxious as its lead character. |
| The Patriot LedgerDana Barbuto"Why Him?" follows a well-worn formula, but writer-director John Hamburg has a knack for putting his characters in gross and embarrassing situations for maximum comedic effect. |
| Observer (UK)Wendy IdeIf the film drags a little at the end, it's perhaps because the film-makers were enjoying the company of these characters as much as the audience undoubtedly will. |
| Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)Greg MakiIt's awfully difficult to root for Laird, though, when Franco plays him as he does every role in every broad comedy in which he appears - as an unfiltered, foul-mouthed buffoon. |
