Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell are an awkward couple in the new rom-com "You're Cordially Invited." Maybe they'd have been better off as friends?

Two wedding parties feud after being accidentally booked at the same venue in this movie co-starring Geraldine Viswanathan and Meredith Hagner.

The most surprising thing about this by-the-numbers comedy, in fact, is that it comes to us from writer-director Nicholas Stoller. He updated Kermit & Co. so delightfully in “The Muppets,” tartly reconceived the revenge rom-com with “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” and scored on the small screen with both “Platonic” and the updated “Goosebumps.”
