Are you with the bride or the groom? Hold on, scratch that. Are you witha new comedy directed by Nicholas Stoller, brings together two stars whose movie worlds are nearly as divided as wedding guests on separate sides of the aisle. Ferrell is most closely associated with broad comedies and Witherspoon the more romantic variety. And while both have expanded beyond their wheelhouses, they are each A-list refugees from movie genres — laugh-out-loud comedies, rom-coms — that have largely faded from theaters in recent years.

“You’re Cordially Invited,” which debuts Thursday on Prime Video, unites these two once-ubiquitous box-office forces in a streaming-only wedding comedy that cross-pollinates “Father of the Bride” with “Wedding Crashers.” The combination works well enough, though it’d be fairer to deem “You’re Cordially Invited” a funnier-than-average wedding movie than it would be a top-grade Ferrell comedy.It’s been two decades since, in “Wedding Crashers,” Ferrell so gently called to his mother, “Hey, Mom! Can we get some meatloaf!” But a whole era has passed. “You’re Cordially Invited” is an attempt to rekindle some of the spirit of those early ‘00s comedies while growing it up a little, and roping in a new generation of funny people. Here, Ferrell plays the overly doting father to Jenni (Geraldine Viswanathan). He’s a widower whose happiness rests to an unsound degree on his daughter. Jim steams her clothes and styles her hair. He’s not crashing the wedding this time; he’s baking the cake.When Jenni returns home with a ring on her finger and her now-fiancé (Stony Blyden) in tow, Jim experiences the happy news more like a nightmare. Still, he gathers himself together and books a destination wedding on the small Georgia island where he and his wife were married.

Meanwhile, we’re introduced to Margot (Witherspoon) a high-powered reality TV executive in Los Angeles whose younger sister (Meredith Hagner) is getting married to her boyfriend (Jimmy Tatro). Her abiding issue is a disconnect with her Atlanta-era family and their disapproving mother (Celia Weston), a fissure that the wedding, which Margot opts to plan herself, quickly exacerbates.When, a year later, these two groups arrive on the island, Jim and Margot eye each other suspiciously right up until they each attempt to check in at the same time. Thanks to the untimely death of the inn’s longtime owner, the place has been double-booked for the weekend — a particularly awkward situation given the island can only accommodate one wedding at a time. The supporting roles throughout “You’re Cordially Invited” are well cast, including the inn’s new, very apologetic manager, played by

After some hesitation, Margot and Jim resolve to share the venue. This, of course, is the not particularly subtle concept of “You’re Cordially Invited.” The arrangement is momentarily copacetic but gradually devolves into an all-out war between Margot and Jim, while the two very different wedding parties — one a multicultural DJ-ing crew, the other longtime Southerners — mingle congenially.

The main deficiency of “You’re Cordially Invited,” also scripted by Stoller (“Neighbors,” “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”), is that everything about it proceeds from its concept. The characters feel engineered to suit it, and everything in its plot is orchestrated to serve the rival wedding feud. Nothing in how things evolve will surprise you or feel particularly organic. For a not especially long movie, “You’re Cordially Invited” drags, a byproduct of its artificial conception. This is the kind of film where the post-credits sing-along feels forced.“I knew him as one of the nicest, most giving friends you could have,” Siden said, his voice cracking.

McMichael played alongside Hall of Famers Dent, Mike Singletary and Dan Hampton, and the 1985 Bears, led by their dominant defense, shuffled their way to the franchise’s lone Super Bowl championship. McMichael was an All-Pro that season with eight sacks.He played 15 years in the NFL — 13 with Chicago before his final season with the rival Packers.

“It’s a cruel irony that the Bears’ Ironman succumbed to this dreaded disease,”. “Yet Steve showed us throughout his struggle that his real strength was internal, and he demonstrated on a daily basis his class, his dignity and his humanity. He is at peace now. We offer our condolences to Misty, (daughter) Macy, the rest of Steve’s family, his teammates, and countless friends and fans of a great Bear.”
