http://deadline.com/2015/08/bryan-cranston-why-him-movie-james-franco-fox-1201505853/

 

Bryan Cranston has been set to star opposite James Franco in Why Him, the 20th Century Fox comedy to be directed and co-written by Meet The Parents and Zoolander scribe John Hamburg. Hamburg previously directed I Love You Man and Along Came Polly. He co-wrote this one with Ian Helfer.

 

The logline: Over the holidays, a Midwestern dad travels with his family to visit his daughter at college, and soon finds himself in a battle for her affections with her new, brash tech billionaire boyfriend. Production begins in Los Angeles in February. Shawn Levy’s 21 Laps and Ben Stiller’s Red Hour are producing. 21 Laps president Dan Levine is overseeing for the production company and Jeremy Kramer will oversee for Fox.

James Franco isn't exactly a hot commodity. Plus the plot is less family friendly, so i wouldn't expect Daddy's Home numbers. Sisters is probably a better comparison point.

Lol, this looks hilarious! I want to see this. Franco is a great fit for this kind of role.

Bryan Cranston proves he's still got comedy chops, I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner for him to get a comedy film. 

[baumer]

Yep I'm intrigued.

This will be the movie that helps Fox beat Disney.

I laughed a bit, so I guess that's doing its job.

More Like Role Models Numbers. Sisters is a bad comparison 

[UrosepsisFace]

Gonna watch any movie w/ Franco in it. Looks pretty good.

This will be much more profitable and make more money for fox at the domestic boxoffice than Assassin's Creed. Take that in writing.

Cranston and Franco are the only reasons this looks funny, so thumbs up to the casting choices.
