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.

Rated: 3/5

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

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...

Rated: 4/5

Look, I also saw the alligator. I get that you think I’m crazy. But try to overcome your entirely justified prejudice and you will probably have a good time.

"You’re Cordially Invited” is the kind of movie that you watch when you want to turn off your brain, have a few laughs and forget the world."

Sure all the characters are over the top. Ever seen a zany comedy where they weren’t? You were expecting subtlety from Will Ferrel? In the end, the film is a well-meaning relief after a long day of dealing with all too frequent conflict and chaos.

Terrible movie.. It could be nice and funny romantic comedy but.. Giving one star for Will and Reese. The film does not deserves any unfortunately.

This movie was awful! I am embarrassed for Reese Witherspoon that she starred in this movie. She is better than this!

The romantic chemistry between Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell is like the limit of 1/x as x approaches 0 - it does not exist!

My husband and I both thought this movie was funny and poignant. Not sure why it has such a low rating. We would watch it again to see what we missed the first time since we were laughing so much.

If it wasn’t for Will Ferrell, Reese Witherspoon, jack mcbrayer and Jimmy tatro it would have been a disaster. New actors coming in are horrible can’t act, especially the actor playing Oliver and Jenni just awful. Worried for movies in the next 15 years
