Wedding wars

ROMANTIC comedy film You’re Cordially Invited is out now on Prime Video.

Starring Will Ferrell, Reese Witherspoon, Geraldine Viswanathan and Meredith Hagner, the film follows a bride and her father (Geraldine and Will) who discover their dream wedding venue has been double booked by another bride and her wedding planner sister (Meredith and Reese,) resulting in rivalry and consequences.

“There are a lot of wedding movies, 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,” Will said in an interview.

“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 added.

Reese stated that she and Ferrell found the film to be resonating with them, as they found a deep connection with their characters due to their personal life experiences and emotions that they were facing while shooting the film.

“Will’s daughter is getting married and he’s worried he’s going to have nothing for himself because she’s really his lifeline, and I’m worried my sister is going to leave my life,” Reese said, expressing how her sister getting married is affecting her.

“Underneath all of the sparring and fighting there’s this deep fear and I think that’s how we connect in the end,” she added.
