VIDEO: First Look - Bryan Cranston, James Franco Star in WHY HIM

Bryan Cranston, James Franco, and Zoey Deutch star in WHY HIM, hitting theaters on December 25, 2016. Check out the first official trailer below!

Over the holidays, Ned (Bryan Cranston), an overprotective but loving dad and his family visit his daughter at Stanford, where he meets his biggest nightmare: her well-meaning but socially awkward SILICON VALLEY billionaire boyfriend, Laird (James Franco). The straight-laced Ned thinks Laird, who has absolutely no filter, is a wildly inappropriate match for his daughter. The one-sided rivalry-and Ned's panic level-escalate when he finds himself increasingly out of step in the glamorous high-tech hub, and learns that Laird is about to pop the question.

John Hamburg directs the film from a script he co-wrote with Ian Helfer. WHY HIM is produced by Shawn Levy's 21 Laps and Ben Stiller's Red Hour.
