You know how it is - you and your fiancé invite your loveable but very opinionated families to your dream destination wedding but just as you're about to tie the knot, you get cold feet...
That’s the brief - very brief - plot outline of Shotgun Wedding, a new romantic comedy meets... something else, starring Jennifer Lopez, which is due to arrive on Amazon Prime next January and it features the mother-in-law of all plot twists.
Have a look at the trailer and you’ll see we’re not talking about a dodgy Best Man’s speech or horrifying bridesmaids’ dresses.
The movie stars J-Lo, whose action chops should come in handy, and Josh Duhamel as the happy and then not so happy couple and, get this, Lenny Kravitz as you’ve never seen him before.
Comedy greats Jennifer Coolidge and Cheech Marin are also along for the ride, as are Sônia Braga, and Alex Mallari Jr. as Dog-Face. Obviously.
Shotgun Wedding is due for release on 27 January 2023 on Prime Video and the online reaction is already pretty good.
