Dir: Olivia Wilde | USA | 2026 | 107 mins

Cast | Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz, Edward Norton

 

Olivia Wilde (Booksmart) directs and stars alongside Seth Rogen (The Fabelmans), Oscar winner Penélope Cruz (Volver) and Edward Norton (A Complete Unknown) in this smart, electrifying and very funny comedy of sex, love and marital strife. Sharply scripted by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack (adapted from 2020 Spanish film The People Upstairs), The Invite is hilariously entertaining, a sophisticated and insightful film for grown-ups.

Joe (Rogen) and Angela’s (Wilde) marriage is on thin ice, and tonight might be when it all falls apart. Unfortunately, their happily unmarried and rather enigmatic upstairs neighbours (Cruz, Norton) are about to arrive for dinner – and matters are about to go from bad to worse, as awkward small talk turns to the unearthing of long-held grievances, insecurities, co-dependencies, failed aspirations, and sexual FOMO. It’s time for dinner!
