An emotion-charged expose of exploitation and coercion. Bertolucci and Brando literally groomed Maria Schneider into trusting them and then they raped her. Both of them are criminals not artists and the evil and narcissism on display in this film makes your skin crawl. Schneider thought she was working with "artists" and trusted these two disgusting egomaniacs who used her and threw her away like a piece of exposed celluloid. The reenactment of the rape scene is still harrowing and shot to protect Anamarie Vartolomei unlike the original which is shockingly disgusting. Brando is a big fat ugly monster and Matt Dillon could have gone deeper to reveal the truly demented psychology behind his so-called "genius". Bertolucci enjoyed watching her violation and his vicious voyeurism destroyed her life. He never warned her or apologized or took any responsibility for the aftermath his pretentious and violent film left her to struggle through. Both of these men should have served jail time for what they did to MARIA SCHNEIDER. Kudos to the filmmakers for revealing the dark underside of LTinP and the frauds that Brando and Bertolucci are.

Brain dead porn with a dumb predictable script. Amateur acting but the actors did expert sex scenes, so their porn IQ was high. Where did Mikey Madison train? The local lap dance strip club? The acting, screenplay and directing of this film are of soap opera calibre. Nothing special, total mediocrity or below.

For this flimsy porn flick to win any awards let alone best picture means we have seen the demise of film as an art form. The improvised dialogue was boring, lazy and repetitive---how many times can we hear f--k in scene after scene? BORING, UNIMAGINATIVE and TRASHY. That's exactly how this sham of a porn flick should be described. Don't waste your money on this Garbage.

YOU'RE CORDIALLY INVITED is a total mediocrity with horrendous performances by Witherspoon and mega-mugger Will Ferrell. The script is sophomoric and lacking in any comedic sophistication. Where are the Billy Wilders, Frank Capras, and Howard Hawkses? Contemporary comedies are so concerned with pushing a political agenda in each scene or as the overall concept that all storytelling content is derailed. The characters have no arcs, are unlikeable, and have no logical character progression. Reese Witherspoon attracted to Will Ferrell? A ridiculous and unbelievable contrivance. This flick is just dumb, boring and a waste of money.
