Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon recreate the viral 'Sofia Richie Dance' on TikTok
Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon, who play enemies in the upcoming Prime Video comedy film You're Cordially Invited, have teamed up to recreate the viral 'Sofia Richie Dance' on TikTok. The video, posted on Witherspoon's TikTok account on Friday, January 24, features the two actors wearing coordinating black and grey outfits and dancing to Lola Young's song "Messy". The trend was made popular in November by Sofia Richie Grainge and Jake Shane.
In the video, Ferrell appears on screen alone at first, shaking his hands and walking in place to the beat of the track. He is hilariously recreating Shane's dance moves from the original viral TikTok video with Richie Grainge. As the chorus begins, Witherspoon grooves into the frame, shaking her hips and mouthing along to the song, replicating Richie Grainge's moves from the viral video.
The clip, which has received over 4 million views, quickly made its way onto Richie Grainge's TikTok feed, where she commented, "Life. Made." You're Cordially Invited, written and directed by Nicholas Stoller, features Witherspoon and Ferrell as the sister of a bride and the father of a bride, respectively, at two separate weddings that were accidentally booked on the same day at the same venue.
The film's synopsis describes how the bridal parties of both weddings are challenged to preserve their family's special moments while navigating the unexpected tight quarters. It notes that the characters of Witherspoon and Ferrell "chaotically go head-to-head as they stop at nothing to uphold an unforgettable celebration for their loved ones."
The TikTok video showcases the fun and light-hearted dynamic between the two actors, providing a unique promotional twist to their upcoming film. Fans have embraced the trend, with some commenting that they did not expect to see the duo dancing on camera but are fully enjoying the unexpected collaboration.

Ferrell's cameo in Wedding Crashers
Will Ferrell's cameo in the 2005 film Wedding Crashers has been described as \"insane\" and \"hilariously ridiculous\". Ferrell plays Chazz Reinhold, a wedding crasher and mentor to Vince Vaughn's character, Jeremy Grey. Chazz's name is mentioned frequently in the first half of the film, but the character himself remains unseen until the end, making Ferrell's cameo a surprise reveal.
Director David Dobkin was determined to keep Ferrell's involvement in the film a secret, and he begged the studio not to use Ferrell's cameo in the marketing of the film. Dobkin knew that Ferrell's appearance would be a big draw for the film, but he wanted to keep it a surprise for viewers. Ferrell's cameo was nearly spoiled, however, as critics remained silent about his appearance, and the late Arizona Senator John McCain and CNN contributor James Carville, who also made cameos in the film, were friends with Ferrell.
Ferrell's appearance in Wedding Crashers was nearly very different, as Nicolas Cage was initially considered for the role of Chazz Reinhold. Ferrell's involvement in the film was also uncertain, as the film was outside the comedy universes that dominated the early 2000s to mid-2010s. However, the film's team was eager to land a high-profile member of Vaughn and Wilson's comedy crew, and Ferrell was a perfect fit.
While some critics praised Ferrell's cameo as hilarious, others were less favourable. Carina Chocano of the Los Angeles Times called Ferrell's performance a "hyper-active bonehead routine" and criticised the interlude as awful. Another critic wrote that Ferrell's cameo was \"lazy\".

In the scene, Ferrell's character Chazz is revealed to be living with his mother, wearing a kimono and nunchucks, and yelling for his mother to make some meatloaf for their guest.
