Featured reviews
I was putting something light rom-com for fun and honestly I quite enjoyed it and nowhere near bad. This isn't a great film but it is really fun to watch. The writing is good enough though some jokes fall flat.
The positive aspect of the film must definitely be the cast. You can tell they were having fun with it as well. Also the cinematography and editing was a big plus as well. Jennifer Lopez absolutely stole the whole show along with Josh Duhamel. Both were pretty good with their roles. Though there were some flat jokes, it was pretty funny and entertaining.
And the big loss was the argument between Lopez and Duhamel about the big wedding thing. It was so stupid and corny. It starts off a little meh but it turns out a fun action comedy.
It's an amusing premise: the Bride and Groom have to take out a band of pirates. A couple of standout moments were the kitchen and helicopter scenes. There are also a few good 'set up and pay off' scenarios that happened throughout the film.
Though this film isn't all great and has plotholes but at least it was entertaining throughout. The loose point was the argument, how it all started but where it goes is a win, I suppose.
I was looking for a light hearted action comedy, and I'm glad I got stumbled upon this even though it was flawed. Entertaining watch.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
