Getting married is demanding enough, but perhaps one of the most stressful jobs on planet Earth, especially if you’re a family member, is the job of a wedding planner. So, a colossal wedding mix-up that creates a massive world of tension, anxiety, and stress is the launching pad idea for “You’re Cordially Invited,” an R-rated comedy about a pair of wedding planners who discover their destination wedding was accidentally double-booked. The comedy comes from writer/director Nicholas Stoller, who studied under the Judd Apatow school of comedy and directed such hit films as “Bros,” “Neighbors,” “Five Year Engagement,” and the co-creator of the Apple TV+ series, “Platonic.”
