The People We Hate at the Wedding

Alice and Paul are American siblings whose relationship with each other and with their relentlessly upbeat mother, Donna, has worn thin over the years. When they are invited to England for the wedding of Eloise, the wealthy half-sister they have grown distant from, the three of them travel abroad together and spend the days before the ceremony in each other's company. Long-buried family secrets surface during that week, and the reluctant reunion pushes all of them to reexamine their own lives.

The film is a comedy directed by Claire Scanlon, working from a screenplay by Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin. It is the second feature Scanlon directed, following Set It Up in 2018 and preceding The Love Hypothesis in 2026. Kristen Bell plays Alice, Ben Platt plays Paul, Allison Janney plays Donna, and Cynthia Addai-Robinson plays Eloise, with Dustin Milligan and John Macmillan also in the cast. It runs 99 minutes and was produced by Amazon Studios, FilmNation Entertainment and Wishmore.

On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 5.8 from around 13,000 votes, while on TMDB it has a 6.3 from roughly 216 votes. A film critics' rating of 4.1 from 43 reviews places it clearly below both audience scores.
