On Jan. 27, “Shotgun Wedding” debuted on Amazon Prime, showcasing yet another J-Lo movie. 

Currently, it is on Amazon’s top ten list — although its rating on Rotten Tomatoes says otherwise. 

The movie is about lawyer Darcy Rivera, played by Jennifer Lopez, and minor league baseball player Tom Fowler, played by Josh Duhamel. 

The movie introduces Darcy and Tom at their destination wedding in the Philippines. 

From the movie’s beginning, you can tell there’s some tension between the two. 

The couple definitely has something going on, whether it be cold feet or normal wedding day jitters. 

On the day of the ceremony, nothing goes right for the bride, Darcy. 

She isn’t wearing the dress she wants, her hair is not done the way she wants, and she’s ultimately questioning the entire day — the fluff, the wedding and the groom. 

Darcy texts Tom, asking him to meet her somewhere private and he obliges. 

While talking, a group of pirates holds their wedding party hostage and the couple hides from the pirates, trying to find help. 

I found myself laughing more at the movie itself than the humor in the movie because of how unrealistic the plot was. Alongside the weak plot was bad acting and forced characters.

I love rom-coms, but this one just seemed a little too corny for my taste.

The movie did some things right, however. 

Shot in the Dominican Republic, the cinematography was well done, showing off the beautiful landscape. The costumes were great, but I had a problem with Jennifer Lopez’s outfits. 

Who in their right mind would fight pirates in a ripped-up wedding dress? 

Not to mention the fact that you could see her shapewear and garters.

That concern is deeply rooted within any woman’s belief in being comfortable. 

There were so many instances where she could’ve changed out of her dress. 

I realize men will never understand the pinching and tightness of shapewear, but as a woman, I’d refuse to wear that for the entire day. 

I was taken aback by this, to say the least. 

My concerns with the dress are not unfounded — Darcy spent the first thirty minutes of the movie pleading that someone help her out of the dress, so why would she not take it off? 

This level of ridiculousness made the movie funny, despite there being little to no humor. 

While I lack a sense of humor, I can at least tell when it’s being forced. 

Although I found several faults within the movie, I enjoyed the story line’s twists and turns.

The movie’s best quality is Carol, played by Jennifer Coolidge. Her character was well portrayed, being the mother of Tom and having some of the funniest lines in the movie. 

Despite Coolidge’s performance, I checked to see how much longer until it was finished.

Overall, the movie was a bit of a bust. 

“Shotgun Wedding” is streaming on Prime Video.
