‘You’re Cordially Invited’ Teaser: Will Ferrell Double Books a Wedding with Reese Witherspoon
What’s better than one wedding? Well, how about two? At least, so long as you’re not the wedding planner who double booked a venue.
Prime Video rom-com “You’re Cordially Invited” stars Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell in a comedy of errors surrounding the big day.
A woman seemingly plans her sister’s perfect destination wedding but her and the father of a different young bride-to-be find out that they are double booked at a remote resort on an island off the Georgia coast. When both parties decide to share the small venue, chaos ensues and disaster awaits.
“You’re Cordially Invited” is written and directed by Nicholas Stoller, with Geraldine Viswanathan co-starring. The ensemble cast is rounded out by Meredith Hagner, Jimmy Tatro, Stony Blyden, Leanne Morgan, Rory Scovel, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, Ramona Young, Jack McBrayer, and Celia Weston.
Lead stars Witherspoon and Ferrell both produce along with writer/director Stoller, Conor Welch, Lauren Neustadter, and Jessica Elbaum.
“You’re Cordially Invited” marks the latest Prime Video rom-com title following the success of adaptations “The Idea of You” and “Red, White, and Royal Blue,” which recently landed a sequel. Both films star Nicholas Galitzine, who is apparently Prime Video’s “It” guy.
Meanwhile, Witherspoon is making the most of being “invited” to Prime Video. “You’re Cordially Invited” is just the latest Witherspoon project in the works at Amazon MGM Studios. Witherspoon’s “Legally Blonde” spinoff TV series is also set at the streamer, with “Gossip Girl”-reboot creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage writing and executive producing. Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter are executive producing through Hello Sunshine, as well as Marc Platt. The series will be produced by Hello Sunshine, Fake Empire, and Amazon MGM Studios.
A “Legally Blonde” prequel series titled “Elle” is also in the works, with Witherspoon producing. “Elle” is created by Laura Kittrell, who will also serve as showrunner. The series is centered on Elle Woods in high school leading up to the events in the first movie.
A “Legally Blonde 3″ film written by Mindy Kaling and Dan Goor was announced at Amazon MGM Studios after years of development. It is unclear if the movie is still happening. IndieWire inquired with an Amazon MGM Studios rep, but we did not immediately receive a response.
Witherspoon recently returned to her onscreen rom-com roots with the Netflix film “Your Place or Mine” alongside Ashton Kutcher.
“You’re Cordially Invited” premieres January 30, 2025 on Prime Video. Watch the teaser below.
