Why Him 2025 Movie Review

The film delivers intermittent laughs, largely due to its talented cast. James Franco’s over-the-top, no-filter Laird is a chaotic force, and his chemistry with Cranston’s exasperated Ned fuels some genuinely funny moments, particularly in visual gags and absurd scenarios, like a moose urine tank mishap or a Pink Panther-style bit with Keegan-Michael Key as Laird’s quirky assistant, Gustav. Key is a standout, bringing high energy and earning consistent chuckles.

Megan Mullally also shines as Ned’s wife, Barb, stealing scenes with her comedic timing. The film’s attempt to balance crude humor with heartfelt moments—emphasizing family communication and not judging a book by its cover—adds some emotional depth, though it feels forced at times. Posts on X and some reviews highlight the film’s ability to entertain those who enjoy Franco’s brand of hard-R comedy, with some calling it “hilarious” and a “feel-good” romp.

Despite its cast, Why Him? struggles with a tired, predictable plot and an overreliance on juvenile humor—think excessive profanity, toilet gags, and sexual innuendos—that often feels lazy or grating. Critics note the script, written by Hamburg and Ian Helfer, lacks originality, recycling familiar tropes without adding fresh angles. Zoey Deutch’s Stephanie is underdeveloped, serving more as a plot device than a fully realized character, which undermines the central romance. The film’s 111-minute runtime feels bloated, with many jokes, especially in the second half, falling flat or overstaying their welcome.
