Shotgun Wedding

Darcy Rivera and Tom Fowler head to a sun drenched destination to celebrate with their families watching. Darcy, a poised planner who wants everything to be perfect, and Tom, charming but worried about the guest list, are determined to start married life in style. Just as the ceremony is about to begin, the entire party is seized by armed captors, turning a joyful moment into a high tension hostage situation. With everyone at risk, the couple must improvise under pressure and keep their loved ones safe while navigating a chaotic sequence of escapes and clever stunts. As loyalties clash and tempers flare, Darcy and Tom discover what truly matters when the day goes completely off script.

Directed by Jason Moore, Shotgun Wedding leans on Mark Hammer's premise to deliver brisk comedy, bright color, and pop energy for a wide audience seeking a lighthearted escape. The production favors practical stunts and set pieces that keep pacing quick.

Box Office: Worldwide gross around 4,495,365 dollars, signaling a modest return for a star driven comedy. The numbers reflect a film released with limited box office impact, yet it found an audience seeking light hearted action and romance this year.

Awards: There were no major nominations or wins for this film at top ceremonies. It did not appear on prominent year end lists, and industry awards did not recognize it beyond routine festival coverage.
