The Invite is in theaters now. Olivia Wilde directed it, Seth Rogen and Wilde star as a couple whose marriage is on thin ice, and Penelope Cruz and Edward Norton are the enigmatic neighbors who come to dinner.
Critics called it career-best Rogen. The comparison being made is to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. It has a 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
If you want a smart, uncomfortable comedy about the kind of dinner party that ends a marriage, this is the one.
Before you go, watch Wilde's first film as director, Don't Worry Darling. The Invite is better, and knowing that will make you appreciate how far she has come.
It is playing in limited theaters now and goes wide on July 10.
Seth Rogen giving career-best work in a dinner party film compared to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. That sentence tells you everything.
