margauxJun 29, 2026such a good example of what the drama (2026) would've been if zendaya planned an orgy instead of a school shooting.

This will be the sleeper film of 2026, obviously I really hope that it makes it big at the box office but it’s releasing in a very delicate period. That said, the film is fantastic, I cannot praise it enough Here I was thinking comedy was dead and then Olivia and this perfect cast comes back to…
Hanna lovedThe Invitewhat a roller coaster! i loved it
Clay Werner lovedThe Invite8.5 - I don’t know what to think of Olivia Wilde as a director. I liked Booksmart, but I was underwhelmed compared to what I perceive as the general consensus. And then I was really let down by what I thought was a fantastic concept with Don’t Worry, Darling. So another comedy, especially starring…
- cassius casanova likedThe Invite
it’s obvious this was written by rashida jones, her type of humor + habitual millennial awkward pauses & jittery gilmore girls fast talk. loved that seth rogan is here & plays himself masterfully. thank you olivia wilde for including a nostalgic 3 minute old school rom com intro
Tristan is "meh" onThe InviteWould I go out of my way to watch it again no, was it still a fun movie yes. The entirety of the movie takes place in one apartment which is fine but not my favorite kinds of movies. The four different personalities were funny and worked well together.
Tyler Williams watched_neutraldThe InviteI did not know what to expect coming in to this movie. It gave me similar vibes like The Drama where they ran with a joke the entire movie and I wasn’t even that upset about it. Overall, I enjoyed it and had a good laugh.
- Scott Fausel lovedThe Invite
Outstanding middle-age couple comedy. Awkward, cringy, and hysterical writing. Great and wildly different comedic performances by all four co-stars.
Reid H is "meh" onThe InviteWent from like to lower, it was alright like minor chuckle cringe realness. Certainly went on a splash long
Sam x is "meh" onThe Invitethis was pretty funny and well written - would recommend but i dunno if i could rewatch it - 7.5/10

The Invite might seem like a simple idea, but Wilde, as well as Jones, McCormack, and her excellent cast, make this into a compelling, delightful, and moving comedy that's more intricate than it might seem.

As the jokes start to sour and the night shifts to something more serious, Wilde and her dramatically experienced ensemble are able to handle a difficult tonal descent without slipping.

When it’s cooking, which is most of the run time, this is a smart, sophisticated and incisively acted adult entertainment that savages the crumbling institution of marriage, dangles the promise of sexual rescue and then brings the walls crashing down in a bitter reckoning that seems irreversible — until a window of hope and healing gets cracked open.
