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.

Observer (UK)

Against the odds, Reeves and Ryder sell it.

Rated: 3/5

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.

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!

Probably one of the best non stop dialogue movies I've ever seen. Great movie from beginning to end!!!

Stagey, verbose dialogue that somehow satisfied an itch for style. Unlikeable characters for whom I rooted with all my heart, especially near the end, as the wit yielded to deeper waters. Naturalism has its time and place, of course, but the monolithic Ryder and Reeves managed to remind me that so does high kitsch.
