The People We Hate at the Wedding

The People We Hate at the Wedding is a 2022 American romantic comedy film directed by Claire Scanlon from a screenplay by the Molyneux sisters, based on the 2016 novel of the same name by Grant Ginder.

She spends a lot of time with him and enjoys his company, but when she believes Jonathan is on his way to London, she falsely confesses to Dennis that she is in a relationship that she is ending.

Fed up with the drama, Eloise throws all three out and disinvites them to the wedding, but first she lashes out at Paul's misguided anger with his mother.

Although Dennis is upset at Alice's deception, he drives them all back to the hotel after the trio are booted from the dinner and jailed.

Eloise apologizes, confessing that she stayed away because shortly before that she had learned that she can never conceive—a secret she has yet to share with Ollie—so was not emotionally available to support her sister.

The feature film from Amazon Studios and FilmNation Entertainment was announced in March 2021, when Allison Janney, Annie Murphy, and Ben Platt were cast and it was reported Claire Scanlon was set to direct.

[2] Production began in London in September 2021, with Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Karan Soni, Dustin Milligan, Tony Goldwyn, Isaach de Bankolé, Jorma Taccone, and Julian Ovenden being announced as part of the cast that month.

The website's consensus reads: "An intriguingly cast but largely laugh-free comedy, The People We Hate at the Wedding will leave most viewers saying 'I don't.

[6] Writing for The New York Times, Beandrea July praised the cast while criticizing the screenplay: "The casting director, Theo Park (“Ted Lasso”), is the film’s secret weapon, pulling together a stacked array of actors at the top and bottom of the call sheet that add luster to a comedically uneven but serviceable script.
