With the average wedding in the UK costing £17,500, the union of a couple getting hitched ain’t cheap. And when you factor in that the average divorce is roughly £14,500, saying “I do” soon mounts up.

Someone who knows a thing or two about weddings is Jennifer Lopez. The triple threat performer (actress, singer, dancer) has recently married for the fourth time, to none other than Bennifer original Ben Affleck, whom she planned to marry in 2003 - after the pair met making the box office disaster Gigli released the same year - but then cancelled a few days before due the overwhelming media attention.

But it seems she just can’t get enough of weddings, as her new film apparently illustrates.

With the setting of a private island in the Philippines, Tom (Josh Duhamel) thinks he’s made the perfect choice to marry his bride-to-be Darcy (Lopez). You see he’s a bit of a groomzilla, as he took on the duties of organising the entire wedding himself, much to the bemusement of Darcy’s father Robert (Cheech Marin).

Of course weddings always end up causing untold stress, and theirs is no exception, causing the pair to have a blazing row on their special day.

Their differences quickly get put on the sidelines however, when their wedding is gate crashed by some very unwelcome guests – pirates – with the only thing they brought with them is an agenda to cause chaos and steal money from the bride’s father.

They say that love can conquer all, but can it take on devious gate crashing pirates?

American director Jason Moore has already proven he has an ear for music, having directed 2012’s Pitch Perfect, but how does he fair on the wedding front?

Well, he certainly does well pairing up Lopez with Duhamel, who make a really fun on-screen couple, with real chemistry between them.

Lopez seems to really embrace the comedic theme, proving that she really is underutilised in not only the genre, but film itself. She gives off a real energy, as well as having a real playful quality about her.

And Duhamel is finally looking like he belongs in the lead man role, and boy, it’s been a long time coming. He proved himself to be a talented and handsome individual in the hit show Las Vegas, where he was lucky enough to star alongside legend James Caan for five seasons.

He then made the jump to the big screen, which seemed the place where he ultimately belonged, but either the roles or the projects – or both – just didn’t click, which has seen his career languish somewhat since then. Whether this is enough to put the spotlight back on him, only time will tell, but the 50-year-old certainly shows here that he’s definitely got what it takes.

It is a film that also features the inimitable Jennifer Coolidge, who is finally getting the credit she deserves. It does seem that she will only work on films set in beach resorts such as this, and working on two seasons of White Lotus, but if it delivers these kind of results, where she unsurprisingly steals every scene she’s in, then more power to her.

The rest of the cast do well too, especially a fun turn from Lenny Kravitz (Zoe will be so proud), as well as TV favourites D’Arcy Carden (The Good Place) and Desmin Borges (You’re the Worst).

Moore knows exactly how to play it, keeping things light and frothy, not too worried that the premise itself is on the flimsy side.

It’s much like being invited to a real wedding, where if it was one of those annoying invites that expected you to pay out a fortune for some international locale, it’s not worth the hassle, but being that it’s on your doorstep, and won’t demand much in the way of effort on your part, then a seat on the unpopular table at the back will suit just fine. And let the fun and silly ceremony commence.
