Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2022 film Shotgun Wedding.
Story
A classic “Die Hard” style story with a fighting couple that borders on enemy to lovers. The plot is simple and only complicated by bad decisions.
Score: 0.5
Characters
The cast is fabulous and the characters wonderfully flawed. I like that they had no combat training and survived by luck and a little skill.
They did make a lot of really foolish decisions, and at times it felt forced.
Score: 0.5
Dialogue
The dialogue is cheesy and fun with lots of quips. It is really frustrating how much of the dialogue happens where the bad guys should hear them.
Score: 0.5
Visuals and Music
The location was beautiful and the costuming was amazing and consistent. The camera work was good and steady.
The music was okay and did a good job of punctuating when the dialogue was dangerous and when it was just exposition.
Score: 1
Fun
It was a lot of fun to watch, even with the frustrations of poor character decisions.
Score: 1
Overall
A solidly written homage to Die Hard with a wedding twist. The characters have no idea what they’re doing in combat or love but by the end they find both.
Final Score: 3.5 Stars out of 5
