Shotgun Wedding
Tom (Josh Duhamel) is a groomzilla trying to plan the perfect destination wedding for his bride-to-be Darcy (Jennifer Lopez). There are enough usual problems at a normal wedding where friends, families, & exes commingle & clash but this drama escalates when pirate wedding crashers invade this private Philippine island & hold the guests for ransom. This romantic comedy turn action comedy is hilarious as the bickering bride & groom must rescue their hostage guests. It’s zip ties & zip lines, grenades & a cake knife, a helicopter & parasailing as the plot thickens. Cheech Marin, Jennifer Coolidge, & Lenny Kravitz are among the eccentric guests. It’s a wild wedding day that won’t be forgotten. Stay for the wedding reception/cast karaoke/dance party at the end.
