Shotgun Wedding (2022)
Shotgun Wedding stars Emmy nominee Jennifer Lopez (Marry Me, Hustlers) and Emmy winner Josh Duhamel (Bandit, The Thing About Pam, Transformers) as Darcy and Tom, who gather their families for the ultimate destination wedding on a private island. But when the entire wedding party is taken hostage, the bride and groom must save their loved ones – if they don’t kill each other first.
Emmy winner Jennifer Coolidge (The White Lotus, American Pie) was nominated for a 2023 MTV Movie Award for Best Comedic Performance as Tom’s mother Carol, while Grammy-winning comedy legend Cheech Marin (of Cheech & Chong and Nash Bridges fame, also 2023’s Champions) plays Darcy’s wealthy father, Robert. Grammy record-breaker Lenny Kravitz (The Hunger Games, Precious) and Emmy nominees Sônia Braga (Kiss of the Spider Woman) and D’Arcy Carden (Barry, The Good Place) also co-star.
From the producers of The Proposal, Shotgun Wedding is directed by Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect), with Mashable describing it as “Die Hard at a destination wedding”.
