'You're Cordially Invited' is a lackluster comedy by Will Ferrell that falls between his best and worst films. Directed by Nicholas Stoller, it tells the predictable story of double-booked weddings on a picturesque coastal island. Jim, a widower, and Margot, another bride, must navigate the chaos that ensues when they realize their wedding plans overlap. The film features tired wedding clichés and lacks the relatable charm of Stoller's previous work, 'Bros'. Ultimately, it offers a blend of heartwarming moments and disheartening predictability, leaving little lasting impact on viewers.
This dumb-but-not-dumb-enough, simultaneously heartwarming and disheartening film features layer upon layer of wedding-disaster clichés, destined to be forgotten in the wasteland between Ferrell's best and worst.
Writer-director Nicholas Stoller's disappointing follow-up to 'Bros' has none of the relatable edge of that 2022 film, the first big-studio R-rated gay rom-com.
Predictable tensions ensue after Jim and Margot agree to share the venue, leading to accidental injuries, overheard trash talk, and festivity conflicts.
The two families are juxtaposed: Jenni's crew is 'fun', while Neve's are stuffy Southern gentry driving identical Suburbans.
