'Shotgun Wedding' trailer: Jennifer Lopez is taken hostage at her own wedding

Nothing can go wrong on Jennifer Lopez's big day…right?

Bad. The "Marry Me" actress and international pop star directs Prime Video's upcoming romantic comedy, "Shotgun Wedding," about a bride (Lopez) and groom (Josh Duhamel) whose nuptials lead to a horrific hostage situation, and not just because of the poor buffet. The action rom-com also stars Jennifer Coolidge as Lopez's freak-in-law who wields a massive gun and shouts "nobody fuck my family" in the trailer.

The ever-sweet Lenny Kravitz is Lopez's on-screen ex, but it's the international hackers who really throw a wrench (or rather, a borrowed cake knife) into the ceremony. D'Arcy Carden, Sônia Braga, Cheech Marin, Selena Tan, Callie Hernandez, Desmin Borges, Steve Coulter and Alberto Isaac complete the cast.

Directed by Jason Moore (“Pitch Perfect”) and written by Mark Hammer, “Shotgun Wedding” premieres January 27 on Prime Video. Main star Lopez, Todd Lieberman, David Hoberman, Alexander Young, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Benny Medina produce the film.

According to the official synopsis, in "Shotgun Wedding," Darcy (Lopez) and Tom (Duhamel) bring their adorable but very opinionated families together for the ultimate destination wedding, just when the couple are starting to get cold feet. And if that wasn't enough to threaten the celebration, everyone's life is suddenly in danger when the whole party is held hostage. 'Til Death Do Us Part' takes on a whole new meaning in this hilarious, adrenaline-pumping adventure as Darcy and Tom must save their loved ones - if they don't kill each other first.

Lopez's long reign of romantic comedies culminated this year with her own marriage to Oscar winner Ben Affleck. Lopez's career documentary "Halftime" also opened the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival, as well as the Universal film "Marry Me" which launched in time for Valentine's Day last year.

Triple threat talent Lopez once opened up about feeling like an "outsider" on a Rolling Stone cover earlier this year. "I always feel like I'm scraping from below," Lopez said. "I always felt like I wasn't the one who was supposed to be in the room. It's part of being Puerto Rican and from the Bronx and being a woman. Not being born into a family with money. Not knowing anybody in the business. I just went over there and said, 'Fuck it. I'm just going to try. I'm going to try to get in here.'"

“Shotgun Wedding” premieres January 27 on Prime Video.
