Shotgun Wedding, a romantic comedy starring Jennifer Lopez, is now available on Lionsgate Play. Here are some tweets to read before watching the movie.

Shotgun Wedding, the much-awaited romantic action comedy starring Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel, has finally arrived on Lionsgate Play. The initiative, which was initially only available in Singapore in December 2022, has now been made available to the rest of the globe via the famed OTT platform.

Jennifer Lopez, who plays the lead in Shotgun Wedding, has let her comedic and action sides shine in the picture, directed by Jason Moore. The movie shows off the singer-fierce actor's fighting talents and her incredible body. Lopez, who plays Darcy, establishes herself as Jenny from the block as she handles a heavy machine gun, lobs explosives, and ziplines across a Philippine island in a flouncy wedding gown.

At the same time, another set of viewers considered the film to be disappointing in every way. Some internet users also say that the primary actors, Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel, lack onscreen chemistry, despite providing strong individual performances.

So was a flop for me. Love JLO, but her character was so annoying and ditzy, and she had ZERO chemistry with JD. Coolidge made the movie bearable, no surprise there. pic.twitter.com/CRBrWMHInC

New movie starring isn’t anything you’d expect in a wedding movie! looks incredible…what a dress! Wish she sang even one song, aside snippet in credits! Josh very hot too!!! thanks

Definitely had high hopes for but it was a no. Not even Jennifer Coolidge could save it. Script, acting, casting all bad. And some really great people in it. Wasn’t sure if was trying to be funny at times or not.

I usually enjoy JLo’s wedding movies - especially the Wedding Planner & Marry Me - but she should’ve left at the altar.
