The Invite (7.2/10)

I'm genuinely torn on this one. It's gotten a lot of love, and I didn't connect with it the way most people seem to. There were plenty of funny moments, and it leans into a weirdness that's usually right up my alley, so it's not the tone that lost me — it's the characters, who felt a little too over-the-top for their own good. Seth Rogen playing a stoner was never a surprise; it's basically been his default mode for three decades now, and while that's not a knock on him, I think a different casting choice might've served the role better. The last 20 minutes were pretty funny. "Joe and Angela's marriage is on thin ice. When their upstairs neighbors visit for a dinner party, the night spirals into unexpected places. Have they reignited the spark or lit the match that burns it all down?"
