About the Film You're Cordially Invited

You're Cordially Invited is a comedy film that brilliantly pairs two Hollywood heavyweights Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell in a story packed with humor, heart, and unexpected twists. The plot follows a mother and daughter duo (Witherspoon and her on screen daughter) as they plan a dream wedding at a beautiful resort. However, chaos erupts when they discover that the venue has been double booked by another family, led by Ferrell's character, for the same weekend. What ensues is a hilarious and heartfelt battle of wills as the two families navigate the tension, comedic misunderstandings, and eventually discover unexpected connections.

Directed by the talented Nicholas Stoller, known for his work on comedies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Neighbors, You're Cordially Invited delivers a perfect balance of laugh out loud humor and emotional depth. The screenplay, crafted with Stoller's signature wit, dives into themes of family, love, forgiveness, and the beauty of unexpected friendships.

The film is produced by two major Hollywood powerhouses Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine (the same team behind Big Little Lies and The Morning Show) and Ferrell’s Gloria Sanchez Productions, famed for its female forward comedies. Their collaboration brings a refreshing and dynamic energy to the project, promising a film that appeals to wide audiences across generations.
