Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon says teaming up with actor Will Ferrell for the romantic comedy You're Cordially Invited was a long time coming. The actors, who in 2001 worked together on a Saturday Night Live episode, make their first joint feature film appearance in the film, which they also produced.

"Every day I was on set, I was like, Will, this is on my bucket list," Witherspoon said at the film's premiere at London's Palladium theatre. You're Cordially Invited sees two wedding parties arriving at a small island hotel to discover their nuptials have accidentally been booked for the same day.

Widower Jim (Ferrell), whose daughter is getting married, and Margot (Witherspoon), an LA-based reality TV executive in charge of her sister's wedding, agree to share the venue but quickly come to regret their decision. Chaos and comedy ensue as the two clash and seek to outdo each other. The film is written and directed by Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Bros filmmaker Nicholas Stoller.
