Shotgun Wedding, a wacky romantic comedy

Jennifer Lopez lights up the screen as Darcy, a bride-to-be whose destination wedding takes a hilarious turn for the worse when the entire party is taken hostage. But this is no ordinary couple.

Director Jason Moore develops the plot to perfection, ratcheting up the tension with the armed captors and finding humour in Darcy and Tom's absurd marital situation. They clearly enjoy bantering together.

Lopez and Josh Duhamel share a delightful chemistry, making their beloved houseguests hilarious to follow, even in life-threatening situations. Their witticisms had me howling.

Great cameos by Jennifer Coolidge and others keep the laughs going even as the stakes get higher. An ensemble full of heart.

Shotgun Wedding combines action, suspense and romance to perfection. This festive film is the perfect entertainment for any time of year. Impossible not to root for Darcy and Tom against all odds.

A zany wedding adventure that is sure to become a comedy classic. Lopez and Duhamel are a comedy duo with the perfect timing to entertain for years to come.

Audiences enthusiastically embraced the fresh premise of the action-romantic comedy, as it topped the box office in its opening weekend, grossing $13.1 million.

Worldwide it grossed $57 million against its $23 million budget, a strong performance for the romantic comedy genre, which has struggled in cinemas in recent years.
