Shotgun Wedding

Shotgun Wedding is a perfectly fine action comedy that knows exactly what it is and is more than happy to coast by on the solid amount of chuckles, nice backdrop and predictability of its plot. It never gets a big laugh but is still generally entertaining enough to avoid becoming boring or overly stale. It's the kind of film designed for streaming, in an inoffensive way.

Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel work well enough together. Their chemistry is solid and they can keep things going on their rapport for the majority of the run time. Jennifer Coolidge gets the right amount of screen time so she can be a fun addition who stands out in every scene without becoming too much. She is pretty much the only other memorable person in the whole cast.

Jason Moore's direction is fine, helped by the tropical setting. There's only one memorable shot and everything else is competent with the classic tropes and jokes of an action comedy executed in a fun fashion. The best moments come from the rising body count and the way they are dispatched. Pinar Toprak's score has a lot of fun with it, ensuring the proceedings stay lighthearted.

Shotgun Wedding left us shaking our heads, in a good way.

It's a funny movie, in a violent, bizarre, challenged relationship kind of way. LOL

What starts out looking like a dream couple at a dream destination wedding turns into one of the biggest FUBARs I've seen since The Hangover.

Before the ceremony, the bride (Jennifer Lopez) melts down, the groom (Josh Duhamel) goes into panic mode, the wedding guests begin a frenzy of worry ... and that's all before the pirates show up to demand a ransom!

What follows is the most bizarre Die Hard kind of story you can't imagine. With the bride and groom stumbling all over the island and themselves and eliminating pirates one by one.

Hilarious.

The story is predictable and not engaging; the numerous plot twists found throughout this film are just lame, incoherent and incomprehensible; and Jennifer Lopez showed us yet another of those damsels in distress who scream too much before ending up becoming badass.

But luckily, it compensates with being very funny, mocking some of the usual rom-com/action clichés and having some good (if not great) performances, especially that of Jennifer Coolidge as the groom's mother, who was just hilarious.

So overall, it's a decent movie, not horrible nor good. I had fun watching it, but not to rewatch it.

It was something I put on for fun and I Honestly really liked it. Cast was great and you can tell they were having fun with it as well. I chuckled at parts and it wasn't as corny as some other recent comedies, same formula obviously but definitely different and enjoyable.

I am always looking for a light funny movie to watch during my work from home days. And this didn't disappoint. Jennifer Coolidge will steal any screen she's on. Definitely not sure boyfriends would like but I would imagine this will soar at any girls night you have coming up!

Lots of real funny jokes peppered throughput the crazy movie story, def throw it on!

Starts off a little meh. It has a generic rom com feel (but with a great cast). But if you can make it past those first 20 minutes, it turns into a fun action comedy.

The Bride and Groom have to take out a band of pirates. And it's an amusing premise. A couple of standout moments were the kitchen & helicopter scenes. There is also a few good 'set up and pay off' scenarios that happened throughout the movie.

There was even a couple of interesting twists. I didn't see the first one coming, but I thought the 2nd one would be cool if it happened - and then it did haha... But it was still good to see it play out.

Overall, a satisfying watch. I'd give it a 6.5/10.
