In this likable spin on the genre, Lopez’s wedding to a sensitive baseball player runs aground when a boatful of armed men arrive

and it’s … well, it’s pretty good: enjoyably goofy and sparkily written. Lopez plays Darcy, a woman who agrees to a giant wedding party on a luxury Philippine island holiday resort which her insecure fiance Tom has laid on for her. He’s a failing baseball star, defensive about being recently dropped from the team and likably played by Josh Duhamel. There are some nice gags here, and smart twists from screenwriter Mark Hammer, and some funny supporting turns.

But just when they are about to break up, right before the beachfront ceremony itself, a terrifying group of pirates arrive on a speedboat with guns and grenades, intent on taking everyone hostage and demanding a multimillion-dollar ransom from wealthy Robert. But Tom and Darcy have been able to hide: only they can save the day and save their marriage.
