Critics consensus

“Solidly cast but overall misconceived, Why Him? offers the odd chuckle, but ultimately adds disappointingly little to its tired father-vs.-fiancé formula.”

If the film drags a little at the end, it's perhaps because the film-makers were enjoying the company of these characters as much as the audience undoubtedly will.

Why Him? has all the flaws you'd expect, from the non-existent visual style to the shortchanging of the women in the cast.

We do not predict a lifespan to compare with that of Meet the Parents.
