Two weddings, one corny, but funny and goodhearted movie. I’ll RSVP.

There have been many wedding comedies, whether they’re good or bad. From all versions of “Father of the Bride” to “The Wedding Singer” to the “Meet the Parents” movies to “American Wedding” to “Wedding Crashers” to “Monster-In-Law” to “Bride Wars” to “The Proposal” to “Bridesmaids” to “Shotgun Wedding” to “The Out-Laws,” they all manage to find their ways into people’s lives. Half of them make great toasts with champagne, and half of them deserve pubic hair on their wedding cakes. And not from Jason Biggs.

“You’re Cordially Invited” joins the reception with Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon taking the leads. It’s one that relies on competitions, humiliations, and the rule that two people who dislike each other come together. Haven’t we seen this type of thing before? Yeah. But is it at least funny and good-hearted? Yes. So, this makes a great toast with champagne.

We meet Jim (Ferrell), whose college grad daughter Jenni (Geraldine Viswanathan) gets engaged to Oliver (Stony Blyden), even without his blessing. It’s definitely like something out of “Father of the Bride,” and you should have seen my late grandfather’s reaction when my father proposed without his blessing. I don’t even think these two young turtle doves know they were supposed to get his permission.

And we also meet Margot (Witherspoon), a network producer, whose younger sister Neve (Meredith Hagner) gets engaged to Dixon (Jimmy Tatro), and she agrees to design their wedding. So, I guess you could say: “Margot at the Wedding.”

The problem. Jim books his daughter’s wedding at the same resort he got married at. The old host Scarlett (Martha B. Knighton) books it with a dried up pen and dies of a heart attack. And Margot books the wedding there, it the new host-her son Leslie (Jack McBrayer)-books it with a fresh pen.

They manage to squeeze the two weddings together, but, of course, Jim and Margot try to overshadow one another. Even knocking cakes over and sinking guests on a dock.

There’s a lot on both sides of the family. The most consistent regards Margot and her mother Flora (Celia Weston) and how neither one of them visited each other. And her other two siblings are Colton (Rory Scovel) and Gwyneth (Leanne Morgan). And the most stressful is when Jenni and her friends become overly dramatic. Like really overly dramatic, and you don’t want to be in the same room with them. And she hates when her father says “lady,” instead of “woman” or “female person.” Of course, he’s referring to Margot.

“You’re Cordially Invited” is writer/director Nicholas Stoller’s first entry since “Bros,” and while it’s not one of his best, it still is funny enough for me to see the appeal in all the cliches presented here. There’s also an alligator that Ferrell has to wrestle with, almost like his shark scene in “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues,” and even the cameos from Peyton Manning and Nick Jonas are comical.

Ferrell and Witherspoon both balance their humor, rivalry, and sweetness in their first film together. Sometimes, it can be awkward and typical, and other times, it can likable and humorous. It all depends on how their characters deal with the screenplay and how the screenplay deals with their characters. And I also see the appeal in Weston, Tatro, Hagner, and Scovel, and how they handle their dialogue and personalities. And believe me, Tatro’s Dixon is a lot smarter than some would anticipate him to be.

A few weeks ago, I made a distinction between artisan and commercial comedies in my review of “One of Them Days.” And there are times when I long for the good days of funny comedies, whether they’re funny or stupid or both. I might sound optimistic, but maybe “You’re Cordially Invited” likes to be both.
