The Invite

The Invite is a 2026 American sex comedy drama film directed by Olivia Wilde from a screenplay by Will McCormack and Rashida Jones. It is an English-language remake of the 2020 Spanish film The People Upstairs (Sentimental) by Cesc Gay. The film stars Seth Rogen, Wilde, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton.

In San Francisco, musician Joe arrives home from his job as a jazz band teacher at a conservatory to discover his stay-at-home wife Angela has invited their upstairs neighbors, divorcée Pina and widower Hawk, over for dinner at their apartment. Joe and Angela's marriage is rocky and they bicker constantly, most recently over the loud sex sounds they often hear from upstairs. Joe plans to confront the couple, but Angela, who is desperate to impress the neighbors, demands he keep calm and quiet.

Pina and Hawk arrive at the apartment as Joe and Angela are in mid-argument. Unprepared to host a dinner party, Angela makes several awkward mistakes, such as not having any wine and not checking Pina's dietary restrictions. Meanwhile, Joe openly antagonizes the couple, but is surprised to see they are impressed by his brutally honest nature. The group eventually warm up to one another, although Joe still resents his neighbors for their noise and is troubled when he learns Hawk has seen Angela naked through a window.
