The dinner party of your nightmares...or your wildest dreams???A struggling couple, Joe and Angela (Seth Rogan and Olivia Wilde), invite their upstairs neighbors, Hawk and Pina (Edward Norton and Penélope Cruz), over for a dinner party that spirals into many unexpected twists and turns.
Wilde not only stars in this film, but she's also the director. “This project gave me the opportunity to approach a production in a way that I’d always dreamed,” Wilde explained. “I wanted to really workshop material together, I wanted to feel real collaboration, I wanted to rehearse, I wanted to shoot on film, and because of the logistical reality of this film being in one location, we could also shoot in order, which was something that I always dreamt of. I thought, ‘Wow, we can approach it like a play.’ So it was a film that allowed for a process that was so singular, and I just thought, ‘That’s what I want.’ I want to make something because of the process and not the imagined result.” -Olivia Wilde
"Olivia Wilde’s “The Invite” is a deliciously entertaining chamber comedy about a couple whose marriage is on the rocks, as they invite their upstairs neighbors over for an impromptu get-together, resulting in a night of quips, come-ons, and marital catharsis."
