There are two big announcements from Prime Video with a brand new R-rated rom-com heading to the streaming platform, as well as the return of a certain ex-UFC bouncer. It will make sense soon, I promise.
First up, the first look trailer and release date for You are invited has been revealed.
Will Ferrell, a father of the bride, and Reese Witherspoon, a sister of the wedding planner for a very different bride, find their lives unfortunately intertwined in a series of slapstick mishaps after their weddings are double-booked.
It’s a serious clash between families as the one-minute trailer shows the lengths they will go to to keep their special day in the diary. Which somehow also means wrestling an alligator on a hotel bed.
In addition to Ferrell and Witherspoon, the cast also includes Jack McBrayer (30 Rock), Geraldine Viswanathan (Blockers), Meredith Hagner (Find party), Celia Weston (Modern family), Keyla Monterroso Mejia (Control your enthusiasm), Leanne Morgan and Jimmy Tatro (Household economics).
There is also a release date. You are invited will be available for streaming on Prime Video on January 30, 2025. It seems like a long time to wait, but 2025 isn’t Real so far away. In the meantime, there are plenty of the best Prime Video movies to stream right now.
As part of the same Prime Video Upfront presentation, there’s also big news for Jake Gyllenhaal fans Road house remake. It’s coming back, for round two.
