Bryan Cranston has had enough of James Franco.

The two Oscar nominees face off in a new trailer for the upcoming Christmas comedy Why Him?.

In it, Cranston plays Ned, a grumpy dad coming to grips with his daughter's (Zoey Deutch) ridiculous Silicon Valley billionaire boyfriend, Laird (Franco). Laird is the literal worst, a bizarro with no social filter and a penchant for terrible tattoos.

Directed by John Hamburg (I Love You, Man), the film also stars Megan Mullally as Ned's nervous wife. Why Him? will be released December 25.
