REVIEW: Movie 'Why Him' Considered Christmas Season Disappointment Because Of Off Humor? [DETAILS HERE]

The movie "Why Him" which was recently shown did not sit well with movie critics and moviegoers alike. While some prefer its bathroom humor, coupled with a lot of "F-bombs," others consider it generally off and inappropriate especially that it was released during the Yuletide Season when everything is expected to be nice and pleasant.

The movie "Why Him" lead actor, James Franco is known to portray various characters. He is a brilliant actor who never thinks twice playing a role to exercise his acting prowess. Apparently, this movie did not do him any justice.

James Franco plays the character Laird, who is a billionaire about to marry the daughter of a conservative man, Ned which is played by Bryan Cranston. While the story presents an intriguing and interesting twist, with brilliant actors as cast, it just did not do very well and lacks on some parts for a complete satisfactory movie-watching experience.

As added by Rotten Tomatoes, the movie "Why Him" only scores a disappointing 41 percent with 4.8 average points out of a possible 10. This is one of the lower ratings provided by the credible site for the entire year. Well, at least 63 percent of 9,467 moviegoers who watched it said they did like the movie.

One critic, Roger Tennis of Cinemaclips.com shares his strong dismay because of the movie "Why Him's" bathroom humor. He said that the bathroom humor of the movie deserves to be flushed away.

However, not every review is bad. Stephen Romei of The Australian said that the movie is a modern, old-fashioned fun. He continues on by saying that James Franco should keep on making films such as this.

As added by IMDb, another positive review for the movie "Why Him" suggests that it is a laughing galore with a heart to match. After all, this is a movie about how a father accepts the choice of her daughter and respects her decision especially with who she wants to marry.

The movie "Why Him" may not have sat well with many critics but it still needs to be watched and enjoyed. Behind the negative reviews lie an important story that both father and daughter should understand.
