Shotgun Wedding movie review: Jennifer Lopez lights up this ... (WION)

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.

Review: Shotgun Wedding (It's A Stampede!)

In Shotgun Wedding, Darcy Rivera and Tom Fowler are on the verge of getting married, on a beautiful island in the Philippines, when a group of pirates ...

While Shotgun Wedding is unlikely to appear on a list of ‘Best Movies of the Year’, it sure would fit neatly on a list of ‘Enjoyable Fluff That Provides Plenty of Entertainment’. And if you’re not familiar with The Lost City, then be sure to pair it up with Shotgun Wedding, as the two would make for a great double-bill. Now, I would say that Lopez and Duhamel get all the best lines in this film, but in truth, while they get most of the best scenes, the funniest pieces of dialogue go to Jennifer Coolidge, who takes on a supporting role as Tom’s mother, Carol. She is joined by Cheech Marin, Sonia Braga, and Steve Coulter, who fill out the other parental roles in this movie, but whenever Coolidge is on screen they don’t stand a chance. It won’t tax the brain, doesn’t run out of steam, and is more than capable of cheering up its audience on a dreary day in January. The gun-wielding pirates are looking to extort a large sum of money from Darcy’s father, and they will do whatever it takes to get the loot.

'Shotgun Wedding' movie review: Jennifer Lopez, Josh Duhamel ... (The Hindu)

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.

'Shotgun Wedding' (2023) Movie Review: A Fun Action Comedy with ... (Martin Cid Magazine)

Shotgun Wedding is a 2023 Prime Video comedy movie directed by Jason Moore starring Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel. The script is written by Mark Hammer.

Take a look, it is worth it to spend a while that is full of entertainment you probably expected. and different (just enough) in order to offer us a show that, although it is is not marvelous, is entertaining enough to give us situations that are not suprising that don’t mmake much sense and avoiding the pitfalls of romanticism. This is a comedy we were missing because of its classic spirit and above all, because it knows how to be the comedy it needs to be (we are talking about Hollywood’s golden years) and not fall into melodrama. This might be a little true in the end. Firstly, this is a funny movie with JLo running around in a wedding gown while the bride and groom fight with some criminals full of spikes on an island. The script is written by Mark Hammer.

Shotgun Wedding packs more action than romance (The Indian Express)

With Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Coolidge in its cast, this rom-com needed more light-hearted moments and mush.

The audience does not get to understand her fears. That could be because the movie seems to rely more on action sequences than comedy to hold the audience’s attention. Though Lopez, with her vast experience of handling rom-coms, manages to engage the audience, Darcy’s dilemmas are not properly explored. She removes its layers and pairs the dress up with boots to be able to fight more comfortably as the armed pirates continue their attack. In an attention-grabbing stunt, Darcy’s former fiance Sean (Lenny Kravitz) arrives for the wedding in a helicopter. Combining action with romance and comedy makes the movie entertaining even though there are hardly any surprises regarding how the movie will end.

The couple have been shown to have a lot of courage and aren't afraid to kill to save their loved ones. Shotgun Wedding is a pretty enjoyable watch if you dig destination weddings, classic Hollywood comedies, action, and of course, the stunning Jennifer Lopez. It is a destination wedding on an island in the Philippines. In Shotgun Wedding is an infestation of a villainous ex-boyfriend and a bunch of dangerous pirates. She is seen wearing it throughout the movie and even kills pirates in it. The day of the bride and groom's wedding should be the most memorable one of their lives, right?

"Then, as she went on and was more honest with Tom about who she was and what she wanted, she started kind of peeling back the layers and becoming more herself and kind of stepping into her own power, more of her own authenticity.

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.

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.

Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel talk about what it was like shooting their action scenes for Shotgun Wedding in a new featurette.

Lopez in turn had nothing but praise for Moore, saying that she felt like she and Duhamel were in good hands during their more dangerous stunts, such as the high-flying moment on the zipline. They also get into the trust that they had to have in one another while shooting their action scenes. In the featurette, Lopez and Duhamel — both of whom are staples of both the action and the romantic genres — talk about how the combination of comedy and heart-pounding action drew them to the project.

'Shotgun Wedding' review: Jennifer Lopez's altared state (Los Angeles Times)

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.

Shotgun Wedding movie review & film summary (2023) | Roger Ebert (Roger Ebert)

"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)).

'Shotgun Wedding:' Critics give mixed reviews for Jennifer Lopez's ... (USA TODAY)

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.

Before Tom, Darcy dated Sean (Lenny Kravitz), but she called off their engagement because something didn't feel right. The idea of commitment scares Darcy.

Other TV appearances include "American Crime Story" and "Good Luck Charlie" as well as "Get Shorty." She keeps things moving along smoothly until the chaotic pirates arrive and throw her off her game. Carden most recently starred as Greta Gil in Prime Video’s “A League of Their Own” TV series that adds more historical context to the story of Penny Marshall’s 1992 film. Kravitz is a Grammy-award winning R&B musician who also dabbles in film. He lends his voice to Hura, Can and Teca in “Maya and the Three.” he also grew famous from his work in comedy as part of the duo Cheech & Chong during the 1970s and early 1980s with partner Tommy Chong. She has appeared as Grans in “Wonder” (2017) and Sister Lucia in “Fatima” (2020). Renata and Darcy’s father Robert (Cheech Marin) have been divorced for years, but Renata makes sure to bring up Robert’s “yoga teacher,” or girlfriend Harriet, to Darcy the first chance she gets. Larry Fowler, Tom’s dad, records every moment leading up to the wedding on his digital video camera. Jennifer Lopez dominates the rom-com genre with films like “The Wedding Planner” (2001), “Maid in Manhattan” (2002), “Monster-In-Law” (2005), “The Back-Up Plan” (2010) as well as “second Act” (2018) and “Hustlers” (2019). Mark Hammer’s script, developed from producer Alexander Young’s idea, lends itself well to humor, laughter and touching scenes between the leads as well as their supporting wedding parties. As you can imagine by the title, the big day quickly turns into a far more action- and gun-packed situation than anyone planned. Prime Video
