Destination Wedding Trailer
It’s a pretty exciting time for Keanu and Winona fans. Both actors are undergoing a sort of career renaissance — Reeves as a gruff, stoic action hero in the phenomenally pulpyJohn Wickmovies, and Ryder as the frantic Joyce Byers in Netflix’s runaway hit seriesStranger Things. So the fact that the two are reuniting at the height at both of their career resurgences couldn’t be more exciting. And in a romantic-comedy at that!
Destination Weddingis like a middle finger to those who thought Reeves and Ryder’s careers, and the rom-com, were dead. No, all three are very much alive and flourishing in the film helmed by the director of5 to 7.Destination Weddingfollows two cynical wedding guests who meet the only way that you can in a rom-com — by bickering over boarding lines in an airport. The meet-cute of Ryder’s Lindsay and Reeves' Frank gets off to a rough start, but the two eventually bond over the course of the wedding weekend, and maybe even fall in love.
“Keanu and Winona are stars for a reason: they have huge talent and skill, and they work very hard,” Levin toldPeople, which debuted the trailer. “But they also keep it fun. They rehearsed their dialogue together, helped each other, made everybody laugh — they were delightful. They are the movie. It’s about their characters and the healing power of love and laughter.”
This isn’t the first time Reeves and Ryder have reunited, but this is the first time they have truly headlined a movie together sinceDracula. The two co-starred 2006’sA Scanner Darklyand 2009’sThe Private Lives of Pippa Lee.
Here is the synopsis forDestination Weddingvia People:
Ryder’s Lindsay and Reeves' Frank arrive at a destination wedding only to discover they’re the guests no one knows where to put, and are therefore stuck together. Though they hate each other at first, the pessimistic duo start to bond throughout the days-long affair.
