    I went into the movie expecting a dumb comedy with a few laughs, but it was actually a dumb comedy with a lot of laughs! Franco and Cranston were both great together, and thankfully the trailer doesn't give all of the jokes away. The plot is really nothing to write home about -- boy doesn't get along with his girlfriend's father and has to win him over -- but the laughs more than make up for it. I definitely recommend checking it out.

    A good movie to go to when you just need a few laughs. Not a classic but not terrible.

    Gorgeous and rich set designs and interesting use of electronic tech in the home. It was refreshing to see a movie about adolescent empowerment instead of teenage angst via Franco. Less profanity and slapstick would have made the movie much more palatable-- another movie that missed an opportunity.

    I thought this would be another one of "those movies" you know utterly predictable, poorly acted and "eye roll" funny. Turns out I throughly enjoyed the movie and it's humour. Laughed throughout the movie.

    Why him was one of the best comedy movies of 2016. James Franco was absolutely hilarious in his role of a millionaire. The movie had a lot of unnecessary f words and some scenes that didn't add to the plot. But I will never forget the scene when they break the glass that contained animal pee and it went all over the house.
