| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzWe're watching two strong-willed people overcome their differences and learn to be a team: it's "Die Hard" reimagined as couples' counseling. |
| Paste MagazineAmy AmatangeloWhile Mark Hammer’s script has a few zingers, it’s the stacked supporting cast that makes the movie pop. |
| ColliderTania HussainHarmonizing romance with comedy and a lot of enjoyable action, Shotgun Wedding still lands on its feet amid some bumpiness and delivers precisely what it needs to make this a fun, feel-good entry for 2023. |
| The A.V. ClubCourtney HowardAlthough the madcap antics come up short in some areas, and it’s unable to strike a good balance between its main and supporting players, you’ll find it easy to say “I do” to this one. |
| The TelegraphTim RobeyIn a sickly-sweet genre, it’s almost bracingly sour. |
| EmpireSophie ButcherAn extremely silly, inconsistently funny, action-packed jaunt, carried by the sheer star power of J-Lo, with strong support from Josh Duhamel and Jennifer Coolidge on top form. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawIt may be a bit corny, but Hammer keeps the funny lines coming and it has some pep that George Clooney and Julia Roberts’ recent romcom effort Ticket to Ride didn’t. |
| IndieWireElla KempShotgun Wedding falls flat as any kind of explosive or endearing couples comedy, but shines in moments thanks to the women anchoring its pirate antics. Maybe the script should have stayed in 2003, but what a joy to see these timeless leading women jetting off into the sunset. |
| The Associated PressJocelyn NoveckAll the charm and style in the world, and J.Lo has more than anyone, can’t make up for the bizarre tonal imbalance of “Shotgun Wedding,” a movie too violent to be funny and too funny (in the odd, weird sense) to be fun. |
| We Got This CoveredAlejandra MartinezIf you’re looking for a glossy, breezy time, 'Shotgun Wedding' will be right up your alley. If you’re looking for chemistry, substantive humor, and meaningful filmmaking - look somewhere else. |
