You're Cordially Invited, featuring Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon, is a wedding clash comedy that, while having comedic potential, falls into the realm of mediocrity. The plot revolves around an administrative mishap where two weddings, those of Ferrell's character Jim's daughter Jenni and Witherspoon's character Margot's sister Neve, are double booked at the same venue. This leads to a series of humorous disasters as both parents strive to ensure their daughters have memorable weddings. Despite some entertaining moments, particularly with Ferrell's outlandish crocodile wrestling scene, the film ends up feeling like an uninspired imitation of stronger wedding comedies.
Ferrell plays Jim, the smothering, widowed dad of Jenni; Witherspoon is Margot, the overprotective older sister of Neve, leading to comedic chaos during dual weddings.
When, due to an administrative snafu, Jenni's and Neve's weddings are double booked at the same venue, Jim and Margot are determined to ensure their loved ones get their day.
Wedding catastrophe cliches abound, with cakes, hair and frocks suffering in the physical comedy, leaving this film feeling like a Bride Wars rip-off.
Despite Ferrell’s crocodile wrestling scene, You're Cordially Invited struggles to elevate above the mediocre standard set by similar wedding comedies.
