With a screenplay from Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, Olivia Wilde directs this entertaining-looking comedy-drama, The Invite, that does echo a few similar setups but has a great benefit of an impressive ensemble cast.

Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton appear in The Invite by Olivia Wilde

Based on the 2020 Spanish film by Cesc Gay, this version also stars Wilde as Angela, who’s in a relationship with Joe (Seth Rogen), and they’re going through a rough patch. While their coupledom is teetering on the edge, and tonight might be the night when everything falls apart, the upstairs neighbours (played by Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton) then arrive for dinner, and everything that can go wrong goes worse….

Have a watch:

The Invite lets you into its world in cinemas from 3rd July
