When Frank and Lindsay meet on their way to a destination wedding, they soon discover they have a lot in common: they both hate the bride, the groom, the wedding, themselves, and each other. As the weekend's events continually force them together -- and their cheerlessness immediately isolates them from the other guests -- Frank and Lindsay find that if you verbally spar with someone long enough, anything can happen.

Critics Consensus

Destination Wedding reunites Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder for a sour comedy whose initially promising misanthropic twist overpowers the chemistry of its leads.

Against the odds, Reeves and Ryder sell it.

Times (UK)

This is, hands down, the most ridiculously overwritten film in the history of romcoms, possibly even of all movies.

Rated: 1/5

Ready Steady Cut

Destination Wedding is the first rom-com that had me rooting for the stars’ continued celibacy and hoping they won’t procreate.

Rated: 1.5

Reeves and Ryder do their best, but for the most part this is an misanthropic exercise that becomes too grating to be worthy of much ceremony.

Rated: 2/5

It's with the heaviest of hearts that I regretfully inform you of the sad fact that [this] "not a rom-com" rom-com starring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder is not a good film.

This is a charming, eclectically funny film about people who are not meant for each other, whose views on life are too fractured to even warrant being together, yet somehow they do. It’s incredibly verbal and incredibly funny because of it. Reeves & Ryder are great together & I’d almost hope for more, but I don’t know if a sequel to this flick would turn out as well.

You know Reeves & Ryder actually have chemistry together but the problem is they are given terrible dialouge, subpar direction, and dumb character backgrounds tht never in the slightest work there way into the plot. The acting is just terrible overall and it's a shame because with better lines they could do something with it. The music is boring generic and forgettable. The editing isn't good and everythign else is bad. It just feels like stuff just happens as we watch them argue and bicker literally nonstop. The setting isn't memorable, this never builds to anything meaningful, and at best it just hits the same notes every other romcom does. For such a short runtime it's kind of harmless though. Skip This.

I instantly hated the Keanu and Winona and this made me love the movie, they were equally annoying

While the characters are annoying, they are also funny and more honest than most people you will meet. This definitely had some laugh out loud moments. I liked Winona Ryder's character more than Keanu's. I can see why some people don't get the humor in this, but it seems these two are more like most of us than we'd like to admit.

I love this movie. The characters grow on you over the course of the movie (much like crabby relatives that you come to love) and the dialogue is hilarious. The ending is over the top wonderful!
