In Shotgun Wedding, Darcy (Jennifer Lopez) and Tom (Josh Duhamel) gather their lovable but very opinionated families for the ultimate destination wedding, just as the couple begin to get cold feet. And if that wasn't enough of a threat to the celebration, suddenly everyone's lives are in danger when the entire party is taken hostage. "'Til Death Do Us Part" takes on a whole new meaning in this hilarious, adrenaline-fueled adventure as Darcy and Tom must save their loved ones--if they don't kill each other first.

Critics Consensus

Shotgun Wedding may be just the invitation to escapism that romcom fans and JLo completists are looking for -- but most other viewers can safely RSVP no without regrets.

Audience Says

Although the great cast covers for some of Shotgun Wedding's problems, they're not enough to make up for the bizarre premise and predictable story.

Crooked Marquee

Shotgun Wedding isn’t the worst rom-com ever made, but it’s the type of generically terrible offering that serves as a reminder of why my beloved genre fell out of fashion — a fate that Jennifer Lopez herself may be partially responsible for.

Times (UK)

While the director Jason Moore spends much of the film demonstrating how good Lopez looks at 53, Coolidge steals every scene she is in as the mother of the groom (“when I’m in formal wear I like to pee standing up”).

Rated: 3/5

This Wedding clearly wasn't meant to be a masterpiece, but even as mid-winter fluff it feels like a rush job.

It’s annoying and flat and doesn’t let you form connections with the protagonists.

Offscreen Central

Shotgun Wedding is the latest showcase for JLo as she returns to the romantic-comedy wedding genre. The film moves between action and family drama and features an eclectic cast.

Cute rom-com, some cringe worthing seeming forcing bad line moments, but what I REALLY can't help but be bothered by: one scene Jlo has makeup on... next scene she doesnt... next scene she does.... Do better, you're putting this out for the world to see.

You know a rom com is bad when you don't even want the couple to end up together. Jennifer Coolidge and D'Arcy Carden are always on point, but they just can't save the ridiculous plot and unbelievable action.

A forgettable film. Shotgun Wedding was trying to hard and comes out a very flat comedy/action movie. Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel are both charming here but this movie just doesn't fit their same energy. The movie breezes by but I found myself asking what was all of that for. It was pointless and a little of a knockoff of past comedies that did this storyline much better. If you enjoy Jennifer Lopez romantic comedy/action movies then you will probably enjoy this one. I just feel the creators here could have put a little more into this one to make it an overall better experience. Shotgun Wedding which is an Amazon movie gets a low 1 1/2 stars out of 5 from me.

Thought it would be good because Jennifer lopez was in it. Tried to watch the whole thing but every scene was so long and drawn out it was awful. Whoever wrote this should never be allowed to put a thought on paper again.
