Why Him?

Listen, this movie is definitely mindless entertainment, with hit or miss comedy.  That being said, if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Christmas for a few hours, there are worse ways to spend an evening.  James Franco plays an internet millionaire who has fallen in love with Bryan Cranston’s daughter ( I can only assume that the Emmy award winning actor was paid well for this movie).  James Franco is super-eccentric.  He has a paperless bathroom and a chef who serves food that looks exactly like newspaper (this in honor of his future father-in-law who owns a printing business).  Keegan-Micheal Key plays an equally eccentric “butler” who sneak attacks his employer a la The Pink Panther.  I did laugh in some spots, but my advice is to wait until you can watch this one on television and go see Rogue One or Fantastic Beasts instead.
