Shotgun Wedding stars Josh Duhamel (Life as We Know It) and Jennifer Lopez (Hustlers), who also recently starred in another wedding-theme movie with Owen Wilson in STXfilms’ Marry Me. Joining them are Lenny Kravitz, Jennifer Coolidge, Sonia Braga, Cheech Marin, D’Arcy Carden, Selena Tan, Desmin Borges and Alex Mallari Jr.
“The film centers on Darcy and Tom as they gather their lovable but very opinionated families for the ultimate destination wedding just as the couple begins to get cold feet,” reads the synopsis. “If that wasn’t enough of a threat to the celebration, suddenly everyone’s lives are in danger when the entire party is taken hostage and “Til Death Do Us Part” takes on a whole new meaning as Darcy and Tom must save their loved ones — if they don’t kill each other first.”
