A still from ‘Shotgun Wedding’
Just when you thought 2023 was going to be a good year for movies, along comes a prehistoric shark for company. Shotgun Wedding. It’s also not the kind of existentially bad movie that makes you debate your place in the world. Shotgun Wedding Just awful in a boring, half-hearted way. It’s even more terrifying to see JLO getting caught up in such a humiliating exercise.
