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.
The film also features an amazing supporting cast, which includes Jennifer Coolidge. She is presently enjoying well-deserved recognition in the second half of her career. Apart from earning an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her work in The White Lotus, she has gained considerable acclaim as a comedienne.
