Here is a film that will make you laugh alot if you just sit back and enjoy it for what it is. Don't come in expecting the best movie ever made. Its a light hearted comedy. Try and see the humor in the situations each character faces and you will thoroughly enjoy it.
Will Ferrell doesnt have to always shock and awe us to be relevant. His level of funny has matured just as he has. Yes he may not be as funny as he was in "Old School" but he doesn't need to be that funny in every role.
The movie is entertaining, but of course like always there will be people who complain and say, well this isn't as good as this movie or that movie. Don't be willing to write off everything as a disappointment before you have even truly given it a legitimate chance. Try not to have huge such huge expectations, or try to compare this movie to all the others you have seen before it, and if you do that, I am certain you will enjoy this funny movie as my friend and I did. It literally had us laughing in most of the scenes. 7/10.

'You're Cordially Invited': bad movie! It's as unfunny as it is unlikeable, there isn't one character that I wanted to see appear in front of my eyes; and they attempt to redeem them all at the end, which falls flat. Also, Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon aren't the best match.
The end credit singalong with Ferrell and Witherspoon is the only part of this that I'd list under (mini) positives. There are a couple of decent bits scattered in, though none of which stick in the memory as they are paired with rubbish. The near two hour run time doesn't helped either.

What happens when two weddings are booked on the same day, two different families from different backgrounds, will there be a compromise, or will they be chaos?
Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon do surprisingly click, both give each other time to be funny and never step over one another. But the rest of the movie tries too hard to be edgy, and the jokes don't really land. Some moments come across has more awkward than funny. Most of the other characters don't really grab your interest, but just make you want to cringe a little. Ferrell and Witherspoon are very talented, but I just wish the film had a rewrite.

As part of the 80s/90s rom/com generation, I was excited to finally see something new from Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell. However, the story, the dialogue, all of it was just average to bad. I watched because I like Reese and Will, but together (in this story) was a mismatch - zero chemistry. It fell flat from the start and never picked up. The only thing that made it slightly better was Leann Morgan, Jenni Viswanathan and Jack McBrayer - they were the "toothpicks" holding up the proverbial dock which was this sinking movie. I don't know what happened to the.
I miss the genius that created movies like Sixteen Candles, Say Anything, You've Got Mail, Notting Hill, and even Sweet Home Alabama. Will we ever see a great one again?

I was eager to watch this one. I love comedies and these two are among the best at it. Spirited was amazing, so i has renewed faith in a streaming platform to make it right...
And then i watched.
In the movie's defense, there are a few laughing out loud moment (mostly courtesy of Ferrell), but those moments feel far apart and mainly due to the comedy ability of the stars.
But this movies feels wrong sometimes. It just plays mean, they do crazy things that feel forced and awkward, some of the humour its just dry and lazy and it portraits southerners like they still live in the 1800s. If its a feel good movie, they do a very good job of making you feel sorry for the couples. And its hard to like someone with so many bad actions, despite being super likeable.
Oh, the score its awful - and why play over and over? - and the aligator scene its stupid.
A missed opportunity, not a movie i will rewatch.
