Un matrimonio esplosivo

This is no masterpiece of filmmaking but it is really fun to watch. It's okay that this movie isn't Oscar worthy. Some are just good romps.

The writing is good even though some jokes fall flat. The cinematography and editing and directing are top notch. And I absolutely needed to see so many older actresses with great comic timing: Sonia Braga, Jennifer Coolidge, D'arcy Carden.

There are plenty of great scenes and great pieces of dialogue and great performances so you can ignore the clunky, bad parts. This movie is definitely not a 10 but it's not a 5 either. 7 is my bottom rating for movies I think are watchable and fun. And this is one of those.

My sister talked me into watching this, which wasn't easy because of the two previous J-Lo movies I've seen (Maid in Manhattan and Wedding Planner), I didn't find her to have ANY chemistry with her male leads. Neither of the romances in those two movies was believable AT ALL, at least in my opinion. But, to keep the family peace, I agreed to give Shotgun Wedding a try and I'm glad I did.

This movie seems to have a lot of haters, but I liked it! Is it Oscar-worthy? No. But it's action-packed fun and Jennifer Lopez actually has great chemistry with Josh Duhamel. They are funny and sweet together and have some realistic relationship struggles along the way. The setting is beautiful, and there's some fun casting (Cheech Marin, Lenny Kravitz), and a few surprise plot twists. And did I mention action-packed? The writers really kept things moving. I enjoyed this movie way more than I thought I would and will probably watch it again with my hubby.

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.

2 out of 5 stars.

Shotgun Wedding is a bad action romantic comedy film that has a dull plot, lacks the fun humor, and the script offers nothing surprising for its genre. Josh Duhamel and Jennifer Lopez are both great and fun likable actors. Sadly, the script offers nothing new or fun for there characters. The humor is very few in between scenes. Most of the humor it aims for is unfunny. The action is nothing new to the film. The plot is boring. About a couple about to get married on an island only to be crashed by pirates. And occasionally a predictable plot twist that is easily foreshadowed in the beginning. Overall, it is one dull action comedy film that is left alone on that island.

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.
