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.

Kevin Maher

The 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.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

It's like watching a very forced, monotone podcast. Boring as hell.

Writer/Director Victor Levin’s dialogue is fast paced, intelligent, and funny. Reminiscent of Woody Allen. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Woody is his inspiration. I thought that was the case when Mr. Levin was writing for Mad About You back in the ‘90’s. Winona Ryder shines and brings out her inner Carole Lombard making a perfect coupling of actress and dialogue but Keanu Reeves is, well, Keanu Reeves - Mr. Monotone. His lines are funny despite his delivery because they are so cleverly written. One could only wish that Director Levin had Ryan Gosling instead or maybe Matthew McConaughey.

I loved the dark humour of this very consistent script and the slow resentful chemistry the two leads have. With all other characters non speaking, the movie centers on these two broken individuals who begrudgingly accept that they may well make each other happier. Their awkwardness is endearing. As enjoyable as “When Harry Met Sally” for me.

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.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
