Review of the film "Shotgun Wedding" starring Josh Duhamel and Jennifer Lopez: a terrible flop

With a prehistoric shark as company and 2023 looking like a fantastic year for movies, here comes Shotgun Wedding.

It isn't even the sort of existentially problematic movie that makes you question your position in the universe.

It's simply plain awful how dull and half-hearted Shotgun Wedding is.

JLo being forced to participate in such a humiliating practice is even more abhorrent.

Tom and Darcy are getting married on a stunning island in the Philippines. Despite Marge, the manager best,'s efforts, there are obstacles to overcome, as there are at all weddings.

Tom wants to give Darcy the perfect wedding while demonstrating to his in-laws that he is the best man for their daughter.

Darcy does not want her extremely wealthy father Robert (Cheech Marin) to foot the bill.

Jamie (Callie Hernandez), Darcy's sister, is a bit of a wild child who arrives late to fix Darcy's hair because she is getting into mischief with the best man Ricky (Desmin Borges).

Jamie isn't there to rein in Carol (Jennifer Coolidge), her future mother-in-law, so Darcy winds up with what looks like a "condo" on her head.

Since Darcy's parents are divorced, her mother Renata (Sônia Braga) frequently criticizes Robert's girlfriend Harriet (D'Arcy Carden) for smiling at her while dismissing Tom as a groomzilla.

The jokes are less funny than yesterday's uthappam, and it's not very tasteful to blow out people's brains.

Shotgun Wedding resides in a separate section of hell, the place where dreadful films go to die.
