In the film, Darcy (Lopez) and Tom (Duhamel) gather their loved ones for an unforgettable destination wedding — just as the couple start to get cold feet.

The Amazon Prime action comedy Shotgun Wedding delivers on its title in the sense that it's got a wedding, and it's got lots of guns.

Will they save themselves? Will they save the guests? A silly 'Shotgun Wedding' sends J.Lo on an adventure

Shotgun Wedding (Prime Video). Jennifer Lopez, D'Arcy Carden and Cheech Marin in a scene from Shotgun Wedding.

Finally available to stream almost a year after busting into, and then promptly disappearing from, theatres, Michael Bay’s Ambulance is here to remind you of the head-spinning delights of watching a genuine cinematic madman at work. And when the drama lightly fictionalizing the director’s youth is discussed, it seems to be misunderstood as an apology, rather than a confession. This is a brave film, bracing and thoughtful. Every one of Armageddon Time’s details and narrative swerves is stacked on top of the other to build a monumental story of compromises and consequences. [Marry Me](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/reviews/article-jennifer-lopez-and-owen-wilson-save-marry-me-from-its-irreconcilable/) – Shotgun Wedding is by no means a good movie. But when Donnie whisks Lorna and her son to his family’s off-the-grid North Dakota compound with zero notice, Margaret resolves to get her kin back, pulling a reluctant George along for the ride.

Spoiler alert: J.Lo looks fantastic in a wedding dress. You surely knew that, given not only the plethora of wedding-themed movies Jennifer Lopez has made ...

In a stroke of rom-com luck, the bride and groom are elsewhere, having a little talk about their relationship. In a clever twist, Tom is the “groomzilla,” obsessed with wedding details, and spray-painting the pineapples all night long. The next day, with everyone dressed for the wedding, more unexpected guests arrive — and they definitely weren’t on the list. But all the charm and style in the world, and J.Lo has more than anyone, can’t make up for the bizarre tonal imbalance of “Shotgun Wedding,” a movie too violent to be funny and too funny (in the odd, weird sense) to be fun. Mom tells Darcy she should have accepted her dad’s millions (or billions?) to make the wedding perfect, but Darcy replies that the couple wanted to do it their way. There’s her icy mother (Sonia Braga, also sadly underused), who is divorced from her father (Cheech Marin) and appalled at the oddly ditzy new girlfriend he’s brought to the wedding (D'Arcy Carden).

There’s her icy mother (Sonia Braga, also sadly underused), who is divorced from her father (Cheech Marin) and appalled at the oddly ditzy new girlfriend (D’Arcy Carden) he’s brought to the wedding. And now comes Shotgun Wedding, where the ageless pop star and rom-com queen dons a pouffy white concoction that gradually sheds layers of tulle to become increasingly sexy as Lopez fights off not only cringey wedding guests but machine gun-toting pirates.

There is a dearth of good romantic comedy movies these days. While the genre flourished in the 1990s and early 2000s, but now? Even the concept of love and ...

One other thing that could have improved a lot about the movie is a lot more Coolidge. If you were to analyse the probability of this or that stunt or that chance meeting you will ruin whatever fun you were going to derive from this film. It is nowhere near the best the genre has to offer, but it is not half bad either. What she has in plenty is magnetism, and here, she exudes enough charisma to light up the film. There is something about the very presence of the pop star that makes every movie she is in more watchable than it has any right to be. But the person who really puts a spanner in the works is Sean (Lenny Kravitz), with whom Darcy was once engaged. Despite its far-fetched plot developments, the film is a fairly enjoyable and satisfying romantic comedy for those who enjoy the genre. Due to the secluded nature of their tête-à-tête, they are blissfully unaware that the local pirates have invaded the event, holding guests hostage. There is an amusing scene when a lingerie-clad Darcy tries to seduce Tom, who seemingly buckles before her charms, but then remembers a piece of décor he forgot to put in place. But her beau Tom (Josh Duhamel), in his good intentions, thrusts a destination wedding at her instead, painstakingly dwelling on the small details to try and make the union extra special. In the Jason Moore directorial, JLo plays a woman called Darcy who would have preferred a quiet wedding. It is romcom in the classical sense.

This rom-com lives in its own special cell of hell, where horrible movies go to die.

To make matters worse, Darcy’s ex boyfriend, Sean (Lenny Kravitz) makes a splashy chopper drop at the wedding (even though he did not RSVP). Darcy (Lopez) and Tom (Josh Duhamel) are getting married in a beautiful island in the Philippines. With Jamie not around to curb her future mother-in-law, Carol’s (Jennifer Coolidge) excesses, Darcy ends up with something resembling a “condo” on her head.

Lopez plays Darcy who is about to get married to Tom (Josh Duhamel) in the ultimate destination wedding on an island in the Philippines. They've gathered their ...

What's even better is that if you've never subscribed to Amazon Prime or haven't signed up in the past 12 months, you can get a 30-day free trial. The funnier supporting cast makes you wish the movie was just a wedding rom-com about dysfunctional families. Surprisingly violent in parts, Shotgun Wedding is unable to blend the two wildly different tones, not helped by the fact that In her hands, even unfunny lines from the script turn into comedy gems through sheer force of will and impeccable delivery, but it's not enough to save Shotgun Wedding overall. After enduring a bout of cold feet, Darcy and Tom fortunately are nowhere near the ceremony when the wedding party is taken hostage. They've gathered their entire families there for the big occasion, but only end up putting their nearest and dearest literally in the firing line when the wedding is invaded by pirates.

Although we're almost past the point of having the stench of death surround movies when they head directly to streaming, that assessment applies to "Shotgun ...

Directed by Jason Moore (“Pitch Perfect”), there are a few fairly impressive stunts (again, all of them in the trailer) sprinkled along the way, such as Darcy and Tom trying to zipline to safety. Duhamel’s Tom, a baseball player, has planned every aspect of his destination wedding to Darcy (Lopez), which is set to take place on a private island. But he won’t until he knows Darcy is safe, as she and Tom awkwardly leap into Rambo mode, fighting a guerrilla war against the pirates while continuing to argue during their down moments. [replace Armie Hammer](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/armie-hammer-exits-lionsgates-shotgun-wedding-4116101/), who left the project in 2021 after problematic accounts regarding his interactions with various women. Even for an action comedy, this Lopez-produced effort is inordinately skewed toward putting everything that might entice someone to watch in the trailer, beginning with the shot of Coolidge hoisting an automatic weapon to defend the wedding party. The casting switch certainly isn’t the problem, although one can quibble with the math on Coolidge playing Duhamel’s mom.

"Shotgun Wedding" is a chocolate-covered cherry with liqueur inside. It starts as a glossy but merely serviceable romantic comedy about a couple who both ...

[Howard Hawks](/cast-and-crew/howard-hawks) screwball romances like "Bringing Up Baby," in which a leopard wanders through periodically, the main couple clings to a collapsing dinosaur skeleton, and [Cary Grant](/cast-and-crew/cary-grant) ends up wearing a woman's silk robe and shouts, "I just went gay all of a sudden!" as well as catchphrase-laden lines that are too Hollywood-writers-room (like "Dad is a messy bitch who loves the drama" and "Pirates chasing you wasn't on your vision board?" [Mark Hammer](/cast-and-crew/mark-hammer) and filmmaker [Jason Moore](/cast-and-crew/jason-moore) (a film and TV veteran who directed "Avenue Q" and " [Steel Magnolias](/reviews/steel-magnolias-1989)" on Broadway, as well as " [Pitch Perfect](/reviews/pitch-perfect-2012)") have a sure touch with their leads and get sharp supporting performances from the secondary cast. But the performers are such fierce comic presences that we accept them as a couple of lovable kids who have a lot to learn about relationships. Still, the specificity of the characterizations and subsequent plot twists upend that expectation: everyone in this film is a bit of a kook, including the bad guys. There are also the concerns of Darcy's fiancé Tom ( [Josh Duhamel](/cast-and-crew/josh-duhamel)), a washed-up minor-league baseball player; the insinuating entitlement of Darcy's ex-lover Sean ( [Lenny Kravitz](/cast-and-crew/lenny-kravitz)), who wasn't invited but showed up anyway; the awkward energy of Darcy's divorced mom and dad, Roberto and Renata ( [Cheech Marin](/cast-and-crew/cheech-marin) and [Sônia Braga](/cast-and-crew/s%C3%B4nia-braga)), which informs the bride's anxieties; and the sprightly middle-American cluelessness of Tom's parents Carol and Larry ( [Jennifer Coolidge](/cast-and-crew/jennifer-coolidge) and [Steve Coulter](/cast-and-crew/steve-coulter)).

Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel stare down a 'Shotgun Wedding' on Prime Video; Bob Odenkirk ponders a "Life Upside Down"; a French diplomat's reputation is ...

[a strikingly beautiful fusion of earthy realism, dreamy expressionism and underdog melodrama](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2021-04-01/review-this-is-not-burial-its-resurrection-lesotho), telling the story of an elderly Lesotho villager (Mary Twala Mhlongo) who rouses herself from her deathbed to save the homes and graves of her neighbors and relatives from being destroyed by a new dam. And there’s not enough novelty and creativity in the way the picture was filmed — with the actors isolated in their own locations, handling a lot of the filming themselves — to compensate for the sparse plot. “The Mission” is less about Mormonism or Finland than it is a poignant and relatable portrait of loneliness, taking an intimate look at these good-hearted youngsters, cut off from their culture and their loved ones, who fight — and sometimes fail — to maintain optimism for an assignment that seems impossible. Taking a fly on the wall approach, Anderson watches these kids as they try to bring what they’ve learned in church and in language lessons out into the streets, only to find that they have trouble carrying on long conversations — and that when they do make connections, the Finns would rather talk about the Americans’ personal lives, not their spiritual message. [Bob Odenkirk](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2022-05-17/bob-odenkirk-better-call-saul-final-season)) impetuously starts an affair with political science professor Clarissa (Radha Mitchell), a colleague of one of his most well-heeled customers, Paul (Danny Huston). [“Shotgun Wedding”](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2021-02-02/josh-duhamel-cast-replaces-armie-hammer-shotgun-wedding) peters out down the stretch, as the explosions and gunfire overwhelm the banter. In “Condor’s Nest,” Jacob Keohane plays Will Spalding, a World War II vet who has spent the decade since the war tracking the Nazi officer who cruelly exterminated Spalding’s bomber crew. Unlike horror films, crime pictures, action-thrillers and even westerns, war movies aren’t a common genre for lower-budget productions anymore — perhaps because it’s hard to stage armed combat on the cheap. But Blattenberger can write punchy dialogue; he also wisely spends some of his money on ace character actors Michael Ironside, James Urbaniak, Jorge Garcia and Bruce Davison, each of whom pops up for a memorable scene or two. Director Jérôme Salle’s stirring melodrama dramatizes the escalating nightmare experienced by Mathieu (Gilles Lellouche), a French diplomat whose life in Siberia is upended when rumors spread that he’s a child-abusing pedophile. The action-comedy comes on way too strong in its opening 20 minutes, introducing an all-star cast in gratingly overstuffed scenes, featuring a surfeit of fast-paced, amped-up chatter. When her new fiancé — a failed pro baseball player, Tom (Duhamel) — invites both their large families to an over-elaborate island wedding, Darcy starts panicking again.

Jennifer Lopez described a dangerous stunt working on 'Shotgun Wedding' with Josh Duhamel.

"J.Lo is, like, a...she is a boss. "So, you know how in that scene where my dress was caught on the wheel? Dropping the truth bomb, Lopez then said, "Except for the one time I almost went over the cliff. "Really? the singer and actress recounted the time she "almost went over" a cliff while filming the action rom-com. Lopez, 53, responded, "Me and

When you have the rare occasion of having two Jennifers — Lopez and Coolidge — in a comedy, one might instantly assume that's a winning form...

It's not that the film is terrible; it is enjoyable enough to pass the time, but it fails to join the ranks of J.Lo's most beloved rom-coms. Darcy's mother, Renata ( [Sônia Braga](https://exclaim.ca/artists/s_nia_braga)), is unhappy that her ex-husband and Darcy's father (Cheech Marin) brought his younger girlfriend (D'Arcy Carden) to the party. For what it's worth, J.Lo really does bring the charm and style. Instead, the character struggles to find his footing amidst the fruit and pirate crises. [Josh Duhamel](https://exclaim.ca/artists/josh_duhamel)) and Darcy (Lopez), who are about to tie the knot at a resort in the Philippines. Soon after, pirates crash the party to take the guests as hostage while Tom and Darcy are having a meltdown of their own.

The movie critics are saying "Shotgun Wedding," starring Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel, "feels canned," but is "pretty good" and "enjoyably goofy."

"Lopez, a much much better actress than she is often given credit, tries valiantly — and physically — to make it all fly, even at the point she is virtually forced to turn into a commando in a wedding dress. "Against the odds, the expectations and the run of play, here is a romcom starring Jennifer Lopez and it’s … Clearly though she’s having a blast, and that may be enough for the audience to go right along with her." For the most part, though, this is a slapdash effort on most every level, seemingly sold almost entirely on the notion of watching Lopez run through the jungle in a tattered wedding dress." "There are a few fairly impressive stunts (again, all of them in the trailer) sprinkled along the way, such as Darcy and Tom trying to zipline to safety. Much of the dialogue feels canned and phony in the style of a badly written sitcom. well, it’s pretty good: enjoyably goofy and sparkily written." The actress gamely tries to overcome the script's tonal whiplash, but she ultimately gets upstaged by co-stars D'Arcy Carden, Lenny Kravitz and the deadpan Jennifer Coolidge, who leads her fellow hostages in a singalong of Edwin McCain's "I'll Be" in the movie's best moment." ""Shotgun Wedding' is one of the more unsettling rom-coms in recent memory, with lengthy scenes of frantic wedding guests running from armed attackers, and JLo dropping grenades on pirates as she ziplines through a jungle. The movie stars Lopez and Josh Duhamel, who play a couple preparing for a destination wedding in the Philippines. As a couple whose destination wedding is interrupted by hostage-taking pirate-terrorists, the two bicker and banter with classic screwball brio, with a love-hate rapport that is both delightful and effortlessly convincing.

Yes, Lopez, the seminal creative figure wowing us ever since 1997’s game-changer Anaconda returns to the fray as a thwarted bride whose luxury wedding in the Philippines turns into a warzone when a group of pirates take the guests hostage. Yes, Die Hard ass-kicking at a luxury resort wedding is the sincere promise that Jason Moore’s action comedy makes, and having recently taken up my tenure as Emeritus Professor of Jennifer Lopez studies at the University of Please Yourself, California, I’m delighted to report that these promises made are promises kept. I guess she’s a little late, but welcome to the party, pal, because that’s the perfect formula for undemanding entertainment as the bracingly daft Shotgun Wedding drops on Amazon Prime in the UK and elsewhere.

Those moments tipped over the thin line the film manages to walk in other moments of real violence that are played for laughs, like Tom's shocked processing after he semi-accidentally kills a pirate. But where Game Night wrings comedy out of its most violent moments, Shotgun Wedding director Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect) doesn't get the tone right in its attempts to make the danger feel genuine while still keeping things light. The night before, she's literally begging him for sex (in a sweet-and-spicy scene that will have you saying "You know J-Lo is FIFTY-THREE?"

Costume designer Mitchell Travers on finding the right wedding dress for Jennifer Lopez in "Shotgun Wedding."

But it was a product of knowing the environment that she was going to have to shoot in.” He adds, “In a way, it was like having her in the wetsuit because it was this perfect dress that she could get in and out of the water, have mobility and it still looks great when it was both dry and wet. “It gives her the ability to bend her body and move her arms and legs.” For a sequence that involves riding a golf cart, Travers says the dress needed to “envelop and overwhelm her. Having that extremely exaggerated hat and shoulder helps me tell the story of somebody who had never left her state, and was so excited to be at a destination wedding.” To come up with the design and shape, Travers reverse-engineered everything. “It’s going through as much as the bride,” explains Travers.

"Shotgun Wedding" star D'Arcy Carden unpacked the rom-com twist ending and shoots her shot for a Marvel debut as a bonafide action star.

What would they do?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, we have a lot of days in this pool.
