I’m comfortable saying the Amazon Prime movie Shotgun Wedding is my favorite movie of the year. I know it’s only February 2nd but give me a break, it’s an entertaining movie! Here’s the trailer… then scroll down for more thoughts (but no spoilers).
Overall. I thought the plot was put together well and (as is the case with most of my favorite movies) it has a good mix of humor, drama, action, and suspense. If I had to pick my favorite moment… it would be when J-Lo and Josh Duhamel are looking over the scene of something dramatic that just happened (see how I avoided spoiling the movie for you?) and J-Lo is positively hilarious in the way she’s chatting with Josh… and then she’s sees blood (her character is basically nauseated by the sight of it). It’s around the 40-minute mark in the movie. Pay attention or you might miss it and that would be sad.
Other Characters. Even though I don’t love her Old Navy commercials I still love Jennifer Coolidge, and in this movie she’s great. Also great is Lenny Kravitz. In fact, the creators did a wonderful job with the entire cast and characters.
I definitely recommend this movie if you’re looking for something entertaining and adventurous! Content warning: there is some foul language, a mildly inappropriate sex scene, and lots of shooting guns (it does have ‘shotgun’ in the title, after all!).
See you again tomorrow…
