Why Him?

April 19, 2016

Director John Hamburg

Genre Comedy

Cast Zoey Deutch, Bryan Cranston, James Franco, Adam Devine

Rating R

Release Date December 25th, 2016

“A dad forms a bitter rivalry with his daughter’s young rich boyfriend.”
“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.”
