Will Ferrell Talks Balancing Heart and Humor With Reese Witherspoon in ‘You’re Cordially Invited’

Amazon Prime Video‘s newest dream team, Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon, have teased audiences with what to expect from their upcoming comedy You’re Cordially Invited.

Launching on the streamer worldwide Jan. 30, the movie from writer-director Nicholas Stoller follows Jim (Ferrell) overseeing his daughter’s wedding and Margot (Witherspoon) her younger sister’s. But things go more than awry when the ceremonies are accidentally double-booked into the same — and intimate — wedding venue on an Atlanta island.

“You can expect a rollercoaster ride,” said the comedy king, who was most recently the subject of a Netflix road-trip documentary with long-time friend Harper Steele. Ferrell spoke alongside his new co-star Witherspoon at a London preview of the film Thursday night. “Nick here came up with an amazing premise and in some ways, it feels quite familiar.”

“There are a lot of wedding movies,” he continued, “but this was just really interesting and funny that it’s two weddings booked on the same day at a destination we can’t escape, we can’t run away… It’s a place that has a lot of nostalgia and meaning for both of our characters, and that sets up the stakes where we’re willing to basically rip each other’s heads up to defend the turf.”

He turned to Witherspoon as he added, “My daughter is getting married. Your sister’s getting married. It’s as funny a movie as you’re going to see in terms of just letting loose and letting it rip, but at the same time there’s lots of heart. We’re both dealing with potential loss.”

“And we’re at weddings where it divides people into two — people are either really happy for the people getting married or thinking about themselves, saying, ‘My life sucks.’ So it kind of explores all of that,” he said.

Geraldine Viswanathan, Meredith Hagner and Jimmy Tatro round out the cast of You’re Cordially Invited. Witherspoon’s recent credits include her Apple TV+ series The Morning Show and the 2023 romantic comedy Your Place or Mine. Ferrell voiced a role in 2024’s Despicable Me 4 as well as starring in Will & Harper.

I expect more laughs from a Nicholas Stoller movie, so I only thought this was okay, but it had some moments and was kinda cute

[StarWarsIsAwesome123]

A nearly 2-hour shitfest with grating characters, multiple brutally tedious scenes, some unbearably corny melodrama, and a plot that’s contrived to hell and back. There are no real laughs and there’s basically nothing of value other than Will Ferrell occasionally trying to make something out of nothing. Someone put a good script on his desk already, because he can be truly hilarious when he’s not in trash like this.

3/10

This is why I generally dislike comedies. Most of them aren’t even remotely funny. Just. Like. This. POS.

This was pure torture all the way through, it was as if it was trying to be not funny.

I really liked this one... It was weird....
While it was almost 2 hours, I wasn't ever bored.
I laughed several times. Obviously not the best movie ever made, but comedies have been horrible over the past decade. This is one of the better ones.
