**** and a ½ *’s out of Five Stars

 

What happens when a frustrated married couple(Seth Rogan and Olivia Wilde) invites their openly romantic adventures neighbors (Penelope Cruz and Edward Norton) over for dinner.  You get pure comedy gold in this updated version of the Spanish language film, The People Upstairs. But even if you are not familiar with that one, The Invite could be seen as a newer version of Bob & Carol &Ted & Alice meets Carnage.
