Movie Review: Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon collide in comedy 'You're Cordially Invited'

Are you with the bride or the groom? Movie Review: Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon collide in comedy 'You're Cordially Invited' “You're Cordially Invited,” a new comedy directed by Nicholas Stoller, brings together two stars whose movie worlds are nearly as divided as wedding guests on separate sides of the aisle. “You're Cordially Invited,” which debuts Thursday on Prime Video, unites these two once-ubiquitous box-office forces in a streaming-only wedding comedy that cross-pollinates “Father of the Bride” with “Wedding Crashers." The combination works well enough, though it'd be fairer to deem “You're Cordially Invited” a funnier-than-average wedding movie than it would be a top-grade Ferrell comedy. Somewhat surprisingly, “You're Cordially Invited” doesn't culminate in a big comic set piece but puts much — maybe too much — of its energy into talking through Jim and Margot's hang-ups.
