Destination Wedding: My RSVP is No

Destination Wedding may offer what the title says but this film isn’t the romantic comedy that audiences are hoping for. Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder star as Frank and Lindsay.  The two have an awkward meet-cute while waiting for their flight to depart at the gate.  From then on, it’s all downhill from there.  Once they get on the place, they find themselves forced to sit next to each other because of course they do. …
