You know how sometimes you are watching a movie and you are wondering, how did someone involved with the production not see that there are significant shortcomings. This is one such movie. The cast isn't all bad, Elliott Gould is excellent of course, Lainie Kazan has seen better days, Nadia Bjorlin has something weird going on with her eyes (apparently she is from Days of our Lives), Maeve Quinlan and Robin Riker (both from The Bold and The Beautiful according to IMDb) look and act like soapie actors.
Jonathan Bennett in the lead as Michael is all over the place. Andrea Bowen (Julie from Desperate Housewives) is quite good, and Keith Robinson as Michael's best friend is probably the best in the movie. The wonderful Richard Kind has a very small but good part. I should mention Jamie-Lynn Sigler, she is very good, but her character is not likable, and the presentation she is giving early in the movie in a college lecture room is ridiculously banal. Embarrassingly so.
Stuff just doesn't make sense, the internal logic (even for a rom-com, and we like rom-coms) is in tatters, and the script is very poor indeed. On the plus side, the movie is well shot - at least it looks professional.
But, it just isn't any good. I can only give it 2/10.

I could not get past the anti-Semitism. This was a joke, even from the first scene where a supposed Jewish customer is bragging about a big tip and then the main character actually not taking the tip. I am surprised seasoned Jewish actors like Lainie Kazan and Eliot Gould would submit to this travesty. Simply horrible and other than wasted acting, the movie was a hate filled film against Judaism.

Didn't expect much. Met my expectations. Wish they would've focused on the plot and the logical outcomes, especially in terms of psychological patterns etc. The characters are not nearly complex enough to possibly let them be a reflection on real life. Also there's a vast amount of cringe-worthy moments - might be funny to other people, but for me it was just a waste of precious time. I'd honestly say it's actually too annoying to even watch when bored. Or tired. Or sleeping. At this point It makes me wonder: 'What were they thinking while making this movie?' Well, obviously not much. But hey, if you're into that kinda stuff - you do you!

If I could rate this a 0, I would. It was that bad. The "acting" was forced and unnatural, which took me completely out of the movie. I don't know who the lead "actor" is, but he's awful.

Divorce Invitation is a B to C grade movie about a young couple that jump into the whole marriage couple thing a tad soon even to the point that Michael changes his religion from Christian to Jewish and even to the point Michael jumps in so fast that he signs a prenump without reading it as he is head over heals in love with. Dylan that he does not care about any legal paperwork.
This movie has all the trimmings of a funny romantic comedy and in some parts its funny but the whole fact of chaeating when you are in a commited relationship is a tad on the nose.
Nadia Bjorlin is the other woman and like the reviewer before me I noticed that the make up around Nadia Bjorlin eyes was a tad too dark and it made her look strange she is beautiful but the darkness maybe this ment that there was a depth of sadness for her character.
A one time watch for me.
Maybe not a date movie choose something else.

The movie has good romantic comedy and sentiment. I liked the movie very much. The story is closer to everyone's life after few years of married life. We should encourage upcoming actors with the best stories like this. everyone acted very well. I recommend to watch the movie. Jonathan Bennett, Nadia Bjorlin acted very well. I liked Jamie-Lynn Sigler acting also. Only thing I didn't like is the college time love story. The characters replaced with someone else. They would have taken with same actors. They look same age, not much age difference with current age but replaced with different people which I felt little weird. I don't see in many theaters but my feeling is it should run in more theaters.

Wow, this movie knocked me off my socks! I just stumbled across it accidentally and couldn't believe how the story line unfolded. It really is the perfect train wreck. The male actor has an awesome and beautiful wife that anyone would fall in love with but an even more beautiful reconnection with his high school sweet heart right after he marries his perfect wife. What to do? He certainly makes a lot of mistakes but in all honesty anyone would struggle in the situations he was in. I think my mouth was open in shock for most the movie as I waivered with his every decision. But in the end the train wreck works itself out. Awesome movie!

Im sorry to tell you boys and girls but this movie is really entertaining, If you liked Alice Eve in (She is out of your league) Nadia Bjorlin is an 11 in a scale of one to ten.
I accidentally trip while browsing movies on amazon prime and this was a jewel, i got entertain for a couple of hours.
Of course women are not going to like this movie, they are used to see movies where the girl has to pick between two guys, the rich guy and the handsome guy and somehow she gets both at the end without consequences. Well this movie is when tables are turned that is all i can say.
So if you are a guy with your significant other and you've been forced to watch all those chick flicks because you love your significant other...well this is payback time.
And dont forget to share her reaction. Warning, you probably wont get any action after watching this movie with your girl but you will enjoy the plot.
