Summary: Frank and Lindsay (Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder) meet on their way to a destination wedding. They soon discover they have a lot in common: they both hate the bride, the groom, the wedding, themselves, and most especially each other.

They soon discover they have a lot in common: they both hate the bride, the groom, the wedding, themselves, and most especially each other. As the weekend's events continually force them together - and their cheerlessness immediately isolates them from the other guests - Frank and Lindsay find that if you verbally spar with someone long enough, anything can happen.

The dialogue they deliver is crisp, witty and occasionally biting. Levin's script has the style and rhythms of the kind of romantic comedies of the '40s and '50s when actors like Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn used verbal banter like boxing gloves. Read full review

Destination Wedding makes the case that the two-hander isn’t dead, even if it struggles a bit when forced to come to a neat, movie-ready conclusion. Read full review

Destination Wedding is bitter, bubbly and ultimately refreshing, the Aperol Spritz to your sickly sweet Amaretto Sour. Read full review

Amy Nicholson

Destination Wedding barely holds together as a coherent film. It’s too callous for coos, too chipper to examine the dark corners of the soul. Yet it works as a valentine to old-fashioned star power — two modern legends, older if no wiser, daring the audience to somehow love them for all their faults, and on that level, somehow succeeding.

While Levin’s writing is sharp and observant, it’s also often overwrought and eventually just plain tiresome. Read full review

A couple of scenes in Destination Wedding fall so calamitously flat I had the disconcerting sensation I was watching the film dubbed in a foreign language or for a spoofed internet meme. Read full review

Reeves and Ryder work very hard to make Destination Wedding work, but deeply unlikeable characters and a clunky script means there’s no escaping the fact it’s a disappointing misfire. Read full review

The second I saw Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder in a movie together I knew it was made just for me. I will always thank Hollywood for letting the guy who was in Bill and Ted’s Exellent Adventure become an A-List actor. And since I’m an 80’s kid who wiill forever love the Reality Bites Wynona Rider of the 90’s, seeing both their names in a movie together was epic. I’m also an Adult Romance reader, which is a third of the reading population, so I live for romantic movies. And Yasss! to dialogue. Great job writers, you created one of the wittiest and smartest Rom-Com’s I’ve ever watched.… Expand

While not for those who expect life to be a bowl of cherries, I loved the dialogue in this film. Both Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves do a fine job. Funny and at times beyond sad, but there's hope!

This is Spanish shame in good vibe, of course. Medium movie for those who like cinema based on dialogue as like The Man from Earth. There are humor, romantic scenes and many sarcasm

Amusing romantic comedy in dialogue form. Keanu Reeves keeps coming up with great sayings. Otherwise there is sometimes a lack of verbal interaction with others, which makes one or the other dialogue seem too long.

I expected this movie to be a lot worse. It actually made me laugh out loud few times. It is a nice movie, definitely not for everyone.

I hate to say it because I like both of these actors quite a bit, but wow, was this a snoozer. I mean, this should have been a play with a unit set. The two actors talk to nobody but each other for the entire film. Keanu is so tough to like. And Ryder's character is so scattered.

Just a rough, rough film that seems to have lost its way shortly after the premise was established. I didn't walk out, but man, it was close.… Expand
