Wedding comedies are dime-a-dozen, but we’ve rarely gotten one before were the leads are never implied to fall in love with each other.
Check out the trailer for Amazon Prime Video’s You’re Cordially Invited starring Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon:
Here’s the official description for the film:
A woman (Reese Witherspoon) planning her sister’s perfect wedding and the father (Will Ferrell) of a young bride-to-be find out that they are double booked for their destination wedding at a remote resort on an island off the Carolina coast. When both parties decide to share the small venue, chaos ensues and our cast of characters begin to face their own insecurities learning more about themselves.
It’s worth noting that the film is being directed by Nicholas Stoller who is best known for helming Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Neighbors (among others).Though his films can get all kinds of wacky, we should always expect there to be some kind of heart to the movie—which is a fantastic hat trick that Stoller always manages to pull off.
As for Ferrell and Witherspoon, both have branched off to do more serious projects recently, but a lot of their success has been rooted in comedy; and it’s great to see both of them going at it again.
Besides the leads, the movie has also brought in some great comedy actors like Jack McBrayer, Jimmy Tatro, Leanne Morgan, and Celia Watson. We also have Geraldine Viswanathan and Meredith Hagner as the actual brides of the film.
Catch You’re Cordially Invited when it premieres on Amazon Prime Video on Jan. 30, 2025.
