When two families from wildly different worlds collide over a wedding weekend, the result is a hilariously chaotic culture clash in this sharp R-rated comedy from director Nicholas Stoller. The meticulously planned destination nuptials of loved-up couple Maya (Geraldine Viswanathan) and Kieran (Stony Blyden) are thrown into disarray by the arrival of their respective parents. Maya’s mother, the tightly-wound and image-conscious influencer Anne (Reese Witherspoon), is determined to orchestrate a picture-perfect event. She is immediately at odds with Kieran’s father, the boisterous and proudly unfiltered slacker Dave (Will Ferrell), whose idea of a good time threatens to dismantle every one of Anne’s carefully laid plans. As the wedding festivities unfold, long-buried secrets surface and petty grievances escalate into full-blown warfare, forcing the entire clan—including Maya’s free-spirited sister (Meredith Hagner) and Kieran’s overly confident brother (Jimmy Tatro)—to navigate a minefield of awkward toasts, disastrous rehearsals, and parental one-upmanship. This uproarious story explores whether love can truly conquer all when the people you love the most are driving you absolutely crazy.
