'Shotgun Wedding’ movie review : Everything you should know

It is not even the kind of existentially bad film that prompts you to debate your place in the world. 

Shotgun Wedding is just dreadful in a boring, half-hearted way. 

It is even more appalling to watch JLo stuck in such a demeaning exercise. 

Darcy (Lopez) and Tom (Josh Duhamel) are getting married in a beautiful island in the Philippines. 

Darcy does not want her super-rich dad, Robert (Cheech Marin) to pay for it and Tom wants to give Darcy the perfect wedding, while proving to his in-laws that he is the right man for their baby girl. 

To make matters worse, Darcy's ex boyfriend, Sean (Lenny Kravitz) makes a splashy chopper drop at the wedding (even though he did not RSVP). 

He hijacks Tom's speech with sensitive and humorous memories of his time with Darcy in the Peace Corps in Bali, and charms all the wedding guests, including Tom's quiet, unassuming father Larry (Steve Coulter). 

Shotgun Wedding is supposed to be Die Hard at a wedding... detective John McClane will not be saying Yippee-Ki-Yay to that anytime soon. 

The jokes fall flatter than yesterday's uthappam and blowing up brains is not in very good taste. 

There is the rom-com, the action movie, the action-comedy or the Tarantino-style dismemberment with gouts of blood.
