They did the right thing replacing Armie Hammer with Josh Duhamel. Josh and JLo have a good chemistry. But Jennifer Cooligde is an MVP for sure. She has a great comedic timing. She’s the legend

JLo is funnier than ever. I’m surprised that she has never done action comedy or physical comedy like this much in her career. She’s amazing

Imagine a movie that falls into the genres of comedy, romance and action and flops in all three.

In the first because the comedy fluctuates in a very ugly way. Forced moments and bad jokes to provoke laughter abound.

In the second one because there's nothing impressive about the action. And I mean that. There's not a single piece that will make you say, "Ok that was good.''

And the romance? Nowhere to be found.
The compatibility between Lopez and Duhamel has a hard time making us believe they are a real couple, and when, regardless of everything else the movie wants to shove into the audience, it is their relationship and their wedding that the whole thing revolves around, and you just don't believe it. At least I didn't.
And if that doesn't work, the rest falls apart. And Shotgun Wedding crumbles right from the start.… Expand

I'd recommend this great new movie to all fans of similar films such as Romancing the Stone, and Jewel of the Nile.… Expand

Crazy stupid fun! Shotgun Wedding is uptempo, wild and hilarious.

This action romcom hosts a farrago of characters, each one portrayed by brilliant filmstars. The chemistry between the leads (Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel) is vivid, and they both balance their comedic chops adequately. Jennifer Coolidge also continues her streak of delivering entertaining characters, and Lenny Kravitz is a delight.

The cinematography and direction is well-done.

If you're looking for a crazy, mindless, ridiculous, far-fetched yet entertaining flick, Shotgun Wedding is the movie.

7.5-8/10.… Expand

Typically when a movie gets sent straight to streaming or has a short run in theaters its not a good sign. And lets be real both our Leads are not normally box office Gold. BUT that being said Shotgun Wedding breaths life of fresh air backTypically when a movie gets sent straight to streaming or has a short run in theaters its not a good sign. And lets be real both our Leads are not normally box office Gold. BUT that being said Shotgun Wedding breaths life of fresh air back into Romcoms. Or should I say action Romcoms. This movie reminds me of everything I loved about early 2000's Romcoms, when movies could just be fun. I feel like nowadays everyone takes everything way to serious, reading some of these negative reviews on this movie it seems like everyone has a stick up their ass. Shotgun Wedding is very enjoyable, alot more then I thought it was gonna be. Pretty much they are getting married on an island in the Philippines when suddenly it gets interrupted by some pirates who want their money. So they have to find a way to save their wedding party all while getting rid of the Pirates. This movie has tons of laughs, I was chuckling to my self alot and there were honestly some actual laugh out loud moments. Jlo does a great job in this, some people dont like her acting but I think she does good. Josh does a good job as well and their relationship is believable. I love the banter they have back and forth during this movie. Also this movie had some surprising violence in it and some actually good action scenes, full of funny moments as well. There is also a twist in this movie I actually didnt see coming which was nice. Jennifer Coolidge was a really funny side character. The Pirates all had unique looks to them. It also had some sweet and heartfelt moments as well. This movie is a strong hour and 40mins with no slow parts and boring bits. It was fun laughs and action from beginning to end. Give this one a shot I think you will enjoy it. Solid 8/10… Expand

It had its moments, but at times was a bit silly. Overall it is not a bad movie, but nothing too memorable or great either - so average.

It was not necessary to develop characters, to delve into anything. The beginning may seem a little abrupt but we managed to capture the past of each one and the current moment. However, as a comedy the film is weak, it has its good moments but nothing out of the ordinary. As an action it is also quite simplistic. But the movie is just entertainment. Do you have better movies with Jennifer Lopez? Yes of course.… Expand

There are romantic comedies galore – on the streaming sites, at least; and, the theaters are pretty barren. If you are looking for something love-related to watch from home, Jennifer Lopez has a new film on Prime Video called Shotgun Wedding, which premiered two weeks ago. It seems the time would be right for romance, action and pirates. Anyway, here comes the bride and the movie she rode in on.

Shotgun Wedding takes place during the destination wedding of Darcy (Lopez) and Tom (Josh Duhamel). They are a long-time couple who are finally getting married in the Philippines. There is some tension on the night before the wedding for a myriad of reasons: Tom is a “groomzilla”; Darcy’s parents (Sonia Braga and Cheech Marin) hate each other; Tom’s mother (Jennifer Coolidge) is annoying Darcy; and Darcy’s father has invited her ex (Lenny Kravitz). All of these things come to a head when the wedding guests are taken hostage by pirates, and the bride and groom have to band together to rescue their family and friends. High-octane nuptial hijinks ensue.

You know how Jennifer Lopez seems to keep making the same movie over and over again. Well, here we are. That doesn’t mean Shotgun Wedding isn’t enjoyable. It’s just not particularly creative. It’s funny enough. Lopez and Duhamel have good chemistry and they are able to lean into the silliness of this premise. Lopez looks great at every turn. Even though she is trekking through the jungle, her hair, makeup and wardrobe only slightly suggest that there’s any effort to outrunning pirates in the Philippines. Of course, it’s unrealistic, but did you really come here for realism? Additionally, Jennifer Coolidge is a reliable comedy weirdo. She does just what you hope she will do here. She’s a scene-stealer and the scenes get stolen. The rest of the cast is fine, but Coolidge outshines everyone.

The action is decent. There are explosions and at least one oddly gruesome death for a movie like this. The tension keeps you engaged for the entire film. I wouldn’t call this movie relentless, but it fills the roughly 90-minute runtime sufficiently. It moves at a quick pace from sequence to sequence, and even though you know where this movie is going, it still remains entertaining.

Overall, Shotgun Wedding is a nice film to watch on a date night in. It is funny enough, has decent action, and has a quick pace. Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel are an appealing couple while Jennifer Coolidge adds spice to every scene, she’s in. Grab a bowl of popcorn and curl up with your honey this weekend.… Expand

Mostly nonsensical comedy, the chemistry is not there at all with Duhamel and Lopez. Jennifer Coolidge was funny.

Embora seja um filme típico, sem muito a se aproveitar de novidade, temos aqui uma Jeniffer Lopez muito à vontade para transitar pelo drama, romance e ação, além de personagens coadjuvantes muito bons e, enfim, um filme realmente engraçado.
OEmbora seja um filme típico, sem muito a se aproveitar de novidade, temos aqui uma Jeniffer Lopez muito à vontade para transitar pelo drama, romance e ação, além de personagens coadjuvantes muito bons e, enfim, um filme realmente engraçado.
O filme começa em uma ilha paradisíaca onde os noivos ensaiam para o casamento. Daí já se tira o quadro familiar: os pais dos noivos de família mais humilde, e os pais da noiva separados, sendo que a mãe é uma patricinha de olhar esnobe (feita pela brasileira Sônia Braga, excelente no papel) e o pai um ricaço que aparece com a namorada super mais jovem, e para piorar o quadro, convida o ex da sua filha para participar do momento.
As locações do filme realmente estão muito lindas, e tem direito a algumas tomadas aéreas que não soaram gratuitas (a cena onde os noivos atravessam a ilha penduradas em uma corda é bem feitinha mesmo).
No dia do casamento, a festa é tomada por piratas, que fazem os convidados de refém, mas não conseguem encurralar os noivos, que estavam separados do bando tendo uma DR. E claro, nessa situação extrema, eles vão precisar deixar de lado as diferenças e o blá blá blá do relacionamento para enfrentar os vilões.
E aí que reside o mérito e a desmérito do filme, pois ao mesmo tempo em que as cenas de ação divertem e são bem produzidas, os piratas são muito, mas muito idiotas. Parecem amadores. Simplesmente o roteiro os torna imbecis demais, e ainda contando com a ajuda de certos comparsas, tudo soou forçado e feito na medida certa para Jeniffer Lopes e Josh Duhamel assumirem o protagonismo. Ainda bem que eles têm excelente química juntos.
A cena final em que pegam o barco e são perseguidos por um dos vilões e por uma das vilãs (esta de helicóptero) realmente não deixa nada a desejar para filmes específicos de ação.
Então, o que temos aqui é uma obra que diverte com piadas boas e medianas, coadjuvantes bem caracterizados (alguns como a irmã do noivo e seu romance improvável, embora feito só para encher linguiça e seja meio brega, consegue funcionar pelo excelente timing). Além de toda a diversão garantida, tem cenas de ação bem feitas até. Não diria que é uma obra-prima, mas é obviamente uma surpresa, um filme que garante o interesse do início ao fim e é um ótimo passatempo.… Expand

Although the film brings nothing new to the table, it has some decent humor and spirit that remind us of the fun rom-com that came out in the early 2000s.
