Critics Consensus

While Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon work well together as catty combatants, tired set pieces and a misjudged romantic subplot make this an invitation you can file under "maybe."

Stephanie Bunbury

Financial Times

It’s all entertaining enough, but you do wish Stoller could have reined in the slapstick, stabled the alligator and let the talking do the talking.

Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

Trouble is, “Invited” lacks chemistry between its leads and wastes a weird cameo with Nick Jonas (it falls flat) and the comedic talents of Fortune Feimster, who deserves more screen time.

Rated: 2/4

The Times (UK)

Stoller takes potshots at everything from Zoomer hypocrisy to metropolitan elitism and Republican racism. The best running gag, however, is reserved for the disturbing Freudian subtext of the Father of the Bride...

It might not be groundbreaking within the comedy genre, but it does what you'd expect: a good time watching talented actors do funny things. [Full Review in Spanish]

Since Ferrell and Witherspoon have an enjoyable sense of play together, it’s not hard to be won over by what the film proposes (pun intended), though not without some reservations.

Rated: C+

Exclaim!

[Witherspoon and Ferrell's] performances are perfectly cromulent — ones that they can do without much thought or consideration, which very well may be what happened.

I was looking forward to watching this movie because Will F and Reese W were in it, but do I wish I got that time back!! The majority of the cast was forgettable. Also, are there not enough wannabe actresses to smartly choose from for the roles of the bridal party?? Especially the maid of honor? Annoying doesn't begin to describe them. The script/plot... a joke and not in a good way. Don't waste your time with this movie.

Horrible movie. Not at all funny unless you like to see a bunch of 20 something girls (the bridesmaids) screaming and carrying on. Could have been written by a teen. I lost multiple iq points watching 40 minutes of the movie then turned it off.

Very ordinary.... It has 2 or 3 funny moments, but at least, it doesn't try to go over the top like others of this type, which usually results awfully

Is it great? No, but it's worth a watch if you're a Will Ferrell fan. Plenty of jokes fall flat and the Gen Z characters made me realize how annoying that generation can be (yes! maybe now people will lay off us Millennials), but I laughed out loud a few times.

A rather enjoyable summer comedy, in the vein of Monster-in-Law. It’s fun to watch the two families go head-to-head, even if we wish it had pushed things a lot further. The rating is also lowered because it’s way too long. This kind of comedy should be savored in 90 minutes, not 2 hours.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Kyle M

The pair’s separative comedic chemistry tolerates with their own appealing signature to garner decent amount of laughs, against reusing a faded page out of a wedding/party planner book for a cheesy formulaic event with demeaning nature to nonsensically ridicule, resulting in an unfunny gathering that unfolds in cringe. (B-)
