Let’s move on to the comments, starting with 24 News Bulletin Review by forced marriage . Our own Corey Chichizola gives the film 4 out of 5 stars and says Duhamel’s latest addition isn’t a fact, as he has great chemistry with Lopez, who gives his funniest performance yet. The review continues:
Shotgun Wedding is a total blast. Literally. The movie is hilarious to laugh, with fun and thrilling action. JLo has never been so funny, and the over-the-top comedy is a great start to the movie year.
JoBlo’s Alex Maidy agrees, saying it’s obvious the cast and crew had a blast on set. Reviewer says Lenny Kravitz, Cheech Marin, D’Arcy Carden and others in supporting roles are great. He gives the film a “good” rating of 7 out of 10, basically saying come for the action comedy, stay for it. Jennifer Coolidge wields a machine gun :
I appreciate that it’s not a sanitized film for a wide audience and that it doesn’t shy away from gore and burnout, but I wish it pushed the envelope a little more than it did. The story shakes things up but never dives as much into the supporting characters as it could have. Still, watching Jennifer Coolidge autoload a hail of bullets onto a tropical island is worth the price of admission. The movie was clearly a blast for the cast, which is reflected in the final product.
Many critics have cited Jennifer Coolidge, who raves about her Golden Globe winning performance in season 2 of the white lotus – despite not everyone was happy after her long history at the awards . Weather Guy’s Lodge of Variety have problems with forced marriage overall, the reviewer says Coolidge does more than his fair share of getting the jokes across. Entrance to the refuge:
However, it is intermittently stolen by everyone’s favorite at the time, Coolidge, as the error-prone mother of the groom. You didn’t give broad lines [writer Mark Hammer]J.Cool has a knack, shared by few in this set, for making them fun nonetheless.
Ella Kemp of IndieWire he also notes Jennifer Coolidge’s contributions to the film, as does leading lady Jennifer Lopez, but is less impressed with the overall “frustratingly average” product. The critic rates the film as C+ and says:
It’s the kind of mid-range rom-com with a twist you’ll find atop Lopez’s blockbuster earlier this year: an uplifting setting for Lopez to introduce us to the most basic iteration of the “strong female character.” In one scene, Darcy rips open her puffy wedding dress to reveal heavily trampled combat boots in place of her dainty bridal heels. Lopez is smart enough to bring wit and genuine emotion to such a trope, channeling all the fun the watery script allows.
Marya E. Gates Reading List meanwhile, it doesn’t find much advantage in it forced marriagegiving it a D rating and calling it an “endless slog”, opining that the characters are underdeveloped and the only memorable moments are wasted in the trailer. The critic continues:
Director Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect) does not have access to this material or its distribution. Despite its stacked ensemble, the characters are paper-thin, and we have no idea who each other is in relation to the others, other than what we’re told through dialogue in Mark Hammer’s (Two Night Stand) script. ). Moore never warms enough to cast members to add nuance through looks or body language. Furthermore, neither Moore nor Hammer are able to balance the different styles of comedy at play, mixing quackery, deadpan banter, and physical slapstick without rhyme or reason.
