What people are saying
Updated nightlyThe Invite is a hilarious, smartly-acted comedy that most people really enjoyed, even if the plot itself feels a bit familiar. Olivia Wilde and Seth Rogen are great as the couple, Angela and Joe, whose tense marriage gets tested by a wild dinner party with their mysterious neighbors, played by a scene-stealing Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton. The humor is the undisputed highlight, landing brilliantly, while the performances are all praised. The main complaint is that the pacing drags a bit in the middle, and some found the central couple's characters, particularly Joe and Angela, a bit thinly written. But overall, it’s a fun, well-made night out.
