With so many releases popping up daily at movie theaters, TV networks and multiple streaming services, it can be a little overwhelming to keep up with everything. That’s where we come in. We’re spilling the tea on the best TV shows and movies you need to watch!

Here’s the tea on what we’re watching this week: Shotgun Wedding!

Synopsis: In Shotgun Wedding, Darcy (Jennifer Lopez) and Tom (Josh Duhamel) gather their lovable but very opinionated families for the ultimate destination wedding. Just as the couple begin to get cold feet they are forced to deal with a threat to the celebration. Suddenly everyone’s lives are in danger when the entire party is taken hostage. “’Til Death Do Us Part” takes on a whole new meaning in this hilarious, adrenaline-fueled adventure as Darcy and Tom must save their loved ones. If they don’t kill each other first, that is.

Cast: Jennifer Lopez, Josh Duhamel, Lenny Kravitz, Cheech Marin and Jennifer Coolidge

Filming Locations: Dominican Republic

Release date: January 27, 2023

Where to watch: Amazon Prime

Fun Fact: Armie Hammer was originally slated to play Tom.

Texas Tie-In: Lopez made a couple of visits to the ATX in 2021 when hubby Ben Affleck was in town shooting Hypnotic. Learn more about that project here.

But that’s not all! In the flick, Duhamel’s character is a failing baseball player. Apparently, the team he plays for is the Midland Robins – as illustrated by a t-shirt JLo wears on the night before their wedding. Not surprisingly, it’s already available for sale online.
