OF ALL THE GUYS HIS DAUGHTER COULD HAVE CHOSEN… 

Ned Fleming (Bryan Cranston) and his family go to see his eldest daughter (Zoey Deutch) who’s living with a man (James Franco) who turns out to be wealthy but also childishly eccentric and vulgar. There’s a special place in hell for every lousy Christmas comedy, and this is one of them. Not that the season really has anything to do with this inept and clunky movie that relies on a story that has been done a zillion times before. Cranston and Franco try hard to milk laughs out of their showdowns.
