I was eager to watch this one. I love comedies and these two are among the best at it. Spirited was amazing, so i has renewed faith in a streaming platform to make it right... And then i watched.

In the movie's defense, there are a few laughing out loud moment (mostly courtesy of Ferrell), but those moments feel far apart and mainly due to the comedy ability of the stars.

But this movies feels wrong sometimes. It just plays mean, they do crazy things that feel forced and awkward, some of the humour its just dry and lazy and it portraits southerners like they still live in the 1800s. If its a feel good movie, they do a very good job of making you feel sorry for the couples. And its hard to like someone with so many bad actions, despite being super likeable.

Oh, the score its awful - and why play over and over? - and the aligator scene its stupid.

A missed opportunity, not a movie i will rewatch.

I've liked almost every Reese Witherspoon movie I've watched. Will Ferrell rarely disappoints. Putting them together in a comedy seems like a no brainer My issue with this movie is that I knew it would be terrible. Not because of the trailer. Just because this is the norm with straight to streaming movies. One out of ten movies like this are good. They now you don't invest much but 2 hours where you spend half of it scrolling on your phone as you hope to laugh and be surprised. This move doesn't disappoint if you go in knowing it will be bad. Don't expect to laugh out loud

The singing in the post credits scene was the highlight for me.

I actually liked it. It was light and funny in an obvious way like it wasn't too much and not lame, the mix was weird but that what actually made it light. Reese witherspoon and her moments with her mom did touched my heart and made me realize how motherhood can be little challenging on both ends and I did relate to that. The accuracy of how gen Z would get married and deal with relationships was portrayed correctly and how they are using synonyms "gaslighting" even though they didn't realize what does it mean.

The dynamics of family, motherhood and fatherhood and all the unexpected feelings that overwhelms us as a family was shown in a cool non obvious way.

Its a mix of everything and fits exactly where it should be.

'You're Cordially Invited': bad movie! It's as unfunny as it is unlikeable, there isn't one character that I wanted to see appear in front of my eyes; and they attempt to redeem them all at the end, which falls flat. Also, Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon aren't the best match.

The end credit singalong with Ferrell and Witherspoon is the only part of this that I'd list under (mini) positives. There are a couple of decent bits scattered in, though none of which stick in the memory as they are paired with rubbish. The near two hour run time doesn't helped either.

You're Cordially Invited is a 2025 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Nicholas Stoller.

As part of the 80s/90s rom/com generation, I was excited to finally see something new from Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell. However, the story, the dialogue, all of it was just average to bad. I watched because I like Reese and Will, but together (in this story) was a mismatch - zero chemistry. It fell flat from the start and never picked up. The only thing that made it slightly better was Leann Morgan, Jenni Viswanathan and Jack McBrayer - they were the "toothpicks" holding up the proverbial dock which was this sinking movie. I don't know what happened to the.

I miss the genius that created movies like Sixteen Candles, Say Anything, You've Got Mail, Notting Hill, and even Sweet Home Alabama. Will we ever see a great one again?
