WHY HIM?
Bryan Cranston and James Franco fight the ultimate battle of wits and wills in this outrageous, no-holds-barred comedy from filmmaker John Hamburg (I Love you Man, Along Came Polly, Meet the Parents, and Zoolander). Ned (Bryan Cranston), an overprotective but loving dad, and his family visit his daughter at college, where he meets his biggest nightmare: her well-meaning but socially awkward Silicon Valley billionaire boyfriend, Laird (James Franco). A rivalry develops, and Ned’s panic level goes through the roof when he finds himself lost in this glamorous high-tech world and learns that Laird is about to pop the question.

After the horrendous job Fox did with Keeping Up with the Joneses, I am very skeptical of this release being worth buying.

I'll buy anything with Zoey Deutch in, definitely getting this.

Watching it now.

Really good 4K transfer, IMO.

This review says reference quality.

Very Hilarious movie.
The 1080p BD upscaled to 4k looks truly amazing so no doubt the UHD will be spectacular.

Blind bought this last week and me and the wife liked it a lot! Of course we both love Franco and I like Cranston as well. Cliched it is but as pretty much every review I've read said, the cast makes it work. They're all wonderful and the chemistry is tops. That being said, Keegan Michael Key absolutely stole the show. I laughed pretty much anytime he was on screen. The 4K disc though...wow! This is one of the first UHD discs I've owned that actually has a more natural look as opposed to the highly stylized films of nowadays and it looks incredible! The color and detail are of the highest quality and though it won't win any cinematography awards, was just gorgeous to look at. Too bad pretty much everyone has shit on it as I find it one of the better raunch comedies that's been released and the presentation of this disc is fantastic!

I would be interested to hear more input on this one. I am inclined to just pick up the blu-ray since it is a comedy after all. The Avsforum review as well as the one here say that it looks very good, but very similar to the blu-ray. I happen to enjoy this one, so the bright side of it not being very well received is that I should be able to pick it up cheap pretty soon.

Nothing new but still enjoyable. Had a few laugh-out-loud moments. 3/5

Saw this last night. Might be the best picture I've ever seen. Spectacular detail with great depth and a very 'natural' use of HDR. My jaw was on the floor.

Oh, and I loved the movie. Lots of charm, good laughs and Zoey Deutch is very easy on the eyes.

Somebody fairly new to UHD said he will just buy discs of a certain genre (I think action and sci-fi). I told him he may be missing out on such titles such as this. Fantastic PQ!

This looks that good? There are sub-$10 copies at the local used store and I have some store credit. Just worried that I might not like the movie, or that it'd be a one-timer.

Yes, right from the beginning the pq floored me. The movie itself is eh. I don't see myself watching it again. Unless I put it on as background noise to show off some pq as well. But who knows some of you might find it funnier than i did. I found Franco to be quite annoying.

[brainofj72]

Pretty puzzled by these rapturous reactions to the PQ. I found this disc serviceable but by no means exceptional.
