They say opposites attract, but not in Prime Video’s You’re Cordially Invited romantic comedy, which lands on the streamer on January 30, 2025.
Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon star in this latest film for the streamer, in which the coveted wedding date of June 1 becomes a source of contention between Jim (Ferrell), father of a bride, and Margo Witherspoon), the sister of another bride.
Unfortunately for Ferrell’s eager beaver single father and Witherspoon’s type-A career woman, a resort on a remote Carolina coast island double books their family members’ wedding ceremonies.
The R-rated film, directed by Nick Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Neighbors) also stars Geraldine Viswanathan, Meredith Hagner, Jimmy Tatro, Stony Blyden, Leanne Morgan, Rory Scovel, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, Ramona Young, Jack McBrayer, Fortune Feimster with Celia Weston. As seen in the trailer, Peyton Manning also makes a small cameo. Tatro plays the fiancé of Margo’s sister while Stony Blyden plays the fiancé of Jim’s daughter.
Chalk it all up to a wedding planner with social anxiety (Keyla Monterroso) and some more miscommunication, but Ferrell and Witherspoon’s characters take the competition for a perfect ceremony to the next level. Jim’s daughter Jenni (Viswanathan) and Margo’s sister Neve (Hagner) have no choice but to be swept up in their relatives’ animosity, with Jim hogging the sunset and Margo wrenching a microphone out of Ferrell’s hand so hard that she accidentally gives a girl a black eye.
Set to “Cake By the Ocean” from DNCE, both parties from the two separate ceremonies are forced to share the venue. Jack McBrayer plays a flustered resort concierge who delivers the terrible news to two bridezilla-esque adults who won’t be walking down the aisle in white but are still very invested in the nuptials.
