Why Him?
Comedy111 min
A dad’s visit to see his daughter at college turns into an escalating rivalry when he meets her boyfriend, a rich Silicon Valley oddball who plans to propose. Bryan Cranston is Ned, an overprotective father thrown off by James Franco’s Laird, a well-meaning billionaire with no filter, a high-tech mansion, and no idea how to make a good first impression. Zoey Deutch is the daughter trying to manage the collision, while Megan Mullally and Griffin Gluck join the family trip as Ned gets pulled deeper into Laird’s world and digs in against the match.
