When Frank and Lindsay 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 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.

Critics Consensus

Destination Wedding reunites Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder for a sour comedy whose initially promising misanthropic twist overpowers the chemistry of its leads.

This is, hands down, the most ridiculously overwritten film in the history of romcoms, possibly even of all movies.

Destination Wedding is the first rom-com that had me rooting for the stars’ continued celibacy and hoping they won’t procreate.

Reeves and Ryder do their best, but for the most part this is an misanthropic exercise that becomes too grating to be worthy of much ceremony.

It's with the heaviest of hearts that I regretfully inform you of the sad fact that [this] "not a rom-com" rom-com starring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder is not a good film.

It Stunk like I was watching a woody allen annoying philosophical never shut up movie. But I still love the actors.

Huge warning to the LGBTQ+ community: stay away from this one. I had to turn it off after the transphobic attacks. It punches down constantly about age, weight, gender, orientation, etc. The script tries to frame being a hateful bigot as some kind of witty personality trait, but it’s just bitter, bigoted rambling. There is nothing romantic or funny about a movie that treats people’s identities like a cheap punchline. It is genuinely disappointing to see Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder using their star power to validate such exclusionary and mean-spirited writing. As a trans woman, I was brought to tears.

Just like the arc of the story, I hated this movie until I loved it. Second watch was even better. There are some intensely comic moments that you have to work to catch when they seem to be having a conversation but are talking about completely different things.

Do not watch this movie. Depressing, stupid, beyond parody. Better to pull your teeth out one by one while getting machine gunned by gangsters. Who is Victor Levin and why does he suck so badly?
