Why Him?

CriticsCritics: 40
AudienceAudience: 6.1

A protective father visits his daughter for the holidays and meets her wealthy, unconventional boyfriend. As clashing values, awkward first impressions, and escalating misunderstandings pile up, the two men compete for control of the situation and the family’s approval.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a simple, cringe-heavy family-meets-boyfriend comedy with lots of crude jokes and culture-clash tension, like The Wedding Ringer; Not for you if nonstop swearing and toilet humor wear thin.
