Why Him? — You're average romantic comedy with nice sensibilities — 6*/10

  • Overall: Funny, if uninventive, with heart and good sensible feminist values although it doesn't look like it at first and it is about the two guys.
  • Who is it for? Anyone looking for a good laugh.
  • Synopsis & informationhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt4501244/
  • Known actors: James Franco, Bryan Cranston and Megan Mullally.
  • Cameos: Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Aoki, Elon Musk, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley.
  • Setting: Mostly .COM rich California.
  • Style: Romantic comedy, on the juvenile side.
  • Intro: Pathetic, awkward and bad.
  • Story: Lots of funny moments derived from clashing styles. There are some very juvenile jokes, but the flick also mostly avoided the easy plot elements like the lies, the mistaken identities, and the I-will-not-forgive-you.
  • Ending: This is where there's some feminism sensibility. If they had cut it just before the elevator pitch, it would have been pretty good. Now, it's just too much.
  • Epilogue: As bad as they come.
  • Dialogs: Funny.
  • Characters: Funny, with a good sense of depth, even though there are a few stereotypes involved. This is probably the movie's strongest aspect.
  • Acting: Good.
  • Afterthoughts: Had some good fun, pretty much what I expected, minus the horribly long epilogue.
