The Invite
One dinner party, two couples, endless things to unpack
This is the kind of romantic comedy drama that gives you both plenty to whisper about on the walk home. Joe and Angela's marriage is on thin ice when they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbours down for dinner, and the evening spirals somewhere neither of them expected. With Olivia Wilde directing and steering a cast of Seth Rogen, Edward Norton and Penelope Cruz, it lands at a warm 7.8 on IMDb and stays wonderfully easy to watch side by side.
