Why Him? 2016

The idea is dumb and not fresh. The father doesn't like his daughter's boyfriend. He's obnoxious and disrespectful. It is another one note gross out/drug comedy. Having said that, I needed to once again use my rule for grading comedies: Did I laugh? Yes. Out loud. A few times. I wasn't falling out of my chair, but it was amusing and there was a strange chemistry between the leads. Zoey Deutch's performance actually impressed me as the "rope" in the game of tug of war. It was much better than I expected, so you ought to give it a try next holiday season.
