The Invite slipped into theaters on June 26, 2026, in a limited release and has quietly been one of the more pleasant surprises of the summer so far. Directed by and starring Olivia Wilde, the film pairs her with Seth Rogen as a couple whose marriage is already on shaky ground.
Index
They invite their upstairs neighbors — Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton — over for dinner, and what starts as a polite evening quickly turns into a messy, funny, and revealing night of awkward conversations and buried resentments.
It’s an English remake of a Spanish comedy, and it plays like a modern, intimate chamber piece full of sharp dialogue and uncomfortable truths about relationships.
