Directed by: John Hamburg
Written by: John Hamburg, Jonah Hill, & Ian Helfer
Starring: James Franco, Bryan Cranston, & Zoey Deutch
Stephanie (Deutch) is deeply in love with her boyfriend and tech mogul, Laird (Franco). Unfortunately though, she has yet to tell her parents. During the Christmas holiday, she invites her family to California to meet her new boyfriend. But the tech mogul is the complete opposite of Stephanie's conservative father.
I saw this film twice. The first time, I simply enjoyed the film with all its comedy ploys. The second time I noticed some mistakes.
First mistake is with the editing. There were a few spots where the audio didn't match the actor's actions. They put the audio over the shot, but you can tell that the actor's lips weren't moving.
Another editing mistake was during the conversation between Stephanie and Ned (Cranston). There's one moment where there are a few strands of Stephanie's hair in her face, then it's a cut and the strands are gone.
Third, there are some parts where the film dragged, but it was crucial to the plot. Then there were some parts where it was funny, but it had nothing that moved the story forward, such as the bathroom scene.
Nevertheless, this film is funny. The funniest film that's out right now for sure. 4 popcorns.
