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."

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.

2/4

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.

4/5

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.

[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.

This is a very disappointing waste of your entertainment time. It gets progressively worse. At the end it feels like some crazy crap they slapped together to tie it all up and get a paycheck. Leanne Morgan is the bright spot.

This movie was hilarious and made me laugh a lot but the ending didn’t really make sense to me. The two main characters have no chemistry whatsoever and the writing was a bit lousy. Lost the plot after a bit but the main part I only enjoyed was the humor. It’s very appealing to teens and Gen Z overall.

The cast is great, I was excited to watch. But this is a movie designed and scripted to watch while you’re also scrolling. It’s so basic, the plot points are rushed and overdone, and halfway through I was wishing it was over! No nuance, no subtlety, no charm.

Cute rom-com. Funny, turn off your brain kind of movie. Reese and Will have great chemistry
