The director and co-star of “The Invite,” a couples dramedy that plays out over one night in a San Francisco apartment, unveiled the film on Saturday at the Sundance Film Festival. A packed house filled with industry heavyweights at the Eccles in Park City, Utah swooned for the project that also features Seth Rogen, Penelope Cruz and Edward Norton.
“This was the dream, to premiere right here for you guys,” Wilde told the crowd, tossing in a final thank you to Sundance founder Robert Redford, who died last year at age 89. The subsequent 107-minute run followed a hapless, resentful couple (Wilde and Rogen) hosting their free-spirited new neighbors (Cruz and Norton). The ensuing madness — passive aggressive standoffs, food allergies, a swingers reveal, rug fetishes, tequila shots, and the concept of pegging — scored big laughs and poignant appreciation for relatable scenes from a marriage.
