Ranking December's Movies From Worst To Best
12. Why Him?
RottenTomatoes Score: 40% (4.9/10)
Box Office: The James Franco and Bryan Cranston-led comedy opened on the lower end of expectations, and should claw back all of its $38 million budget soon enough. It's easy to see it being more successful as part of Netflix's library, though.
Verdict: Franco and Cranston's chemistry is easily the most entertaining part of this utterly middle-of-the-road comedy, for while it's too long and wildly inconsistent, it's hard to call the film bad or tough to watch: it merely exists, and is propped up by its talented cast.
You likely won't remember much of it in the days and weeks that follow, but it's totally watchable all the same.
