Review of Shotgun Wedding (2022) by Bountyhunter — 29 Jan 2023

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 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.
