This past weekend, I watched “Destination Wedding,” a small 2018 romantic comedy starring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder as misanthropic wedding guests who reluctantly pair up to survive the ordeal.
Although there are other actors in the film, Reeves and Ryder are the only on-screen actors with any dialogue. The highly verbal screenplay by director Victor Levin has the two trading barbs, sharing their worldviews and, somewhat begrudgingly, falling for each other.
