Reese Witherspoon, Will Ferrell Battle Over Wedding Venue in ‘You’re Cordially Invited’ Trailer

Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell are not in the mood to share their wedding venue in the first trailer for the comedy feature You’re Cordially Invited.

Amazon released the promo Tuesday for director Nicholas Stoller‘s movie that is set to begin streaming via Prime Video on Jan. 30, 2025. The film centers on a father (Ferrell) who learns that the venue for his daughter’s nuptials has been double-booked by a different bride and her wedding-planner sister (Witherspoon). Geraldine Viswanathan, Meredith Hagner and Jimmy Tatro round out the cast.

“Let’s get something straight,” Ferrell warns Witherspoon in the trailer. “If I look out on that dock, and that bride’s not my baby girl, that bride’s going in the fucking lake.”

Witherspoon responds, “I’m gonna kick your ass, and it’s going to be embarrassing because you’re big, and I’m little.”

Stoller wrote and directed the film that he produces alongside Witherspoon, Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum, Lauren Levy Neustadter and Conor Welch.

Witherspoon’s recent credits include her Apple TV+ series The Morning Show and the 2023 romantic comedy Your Place or Mine. Ferrell voices a role in this summer’s Despicable Me 4 and stars in the forthcoming road-trip documentary feature Will & Harper, which was acquired by Netflix after premiering at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

During a conversation last year with The Hollywood Reporter about the landscape for comedy films, Stoller said that he appreciates that such projects tend to be ones that audiences enjoy revisiting. The filmmaker is known for such movies as Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Neighbors, in addition to co-creating the recent Apple TV+ series Platonic.

“They last forever,” Stoller said at the time. “If it’s a romantic movie or a comedy, people tend to watch them over and over again because they really see themselves in them.”
