‘A Bombshell Marriage’ and their together against adversity is a hoot for romantics

Romantic comedy scores the same. After “The Lost City” and “Journey to Heaven”, ‘An Explosive Wedding’ comes with its own grain of sand for the return of the genre, a resurgence no doubt inspired by the success of “seedy” streaming. Understand “shabby” from affection for those Who shone so much in the 40s and 50sexcellent films such as ‘Philadelphia Tales’ or ‘Roman Holidays’ that have managed to attract the attention of the Oscars as well, or in the 90s with unforgettable ones like ‘Pretty Woman’, ‘Ghost, beyond love’ or ‘Something to remember’.

Romantic is making an effort to reclaim some of that brilliance, a direction we’ve started walking in alongside the popularity of some Netflix titles, the genre’s most enthusiastic platform, such as ‘To All the Boys I’ve Fell in Love With’ or ‘How to Get Rid of Your Boss’, and which is now underpinned by ‘An Explosive Marriage’, a film that adds reclaiming that space for romance on the small screen while emphasizing the reinvention of classic genres as one of the keys to current entertainment.

The crux of the matter, judging by the approach of this film directed by Jason Moore and written by Mark Hammer, is not wanting to invent, because as the more veteran spectator often defends, “everything is already invented”; The trick is to recover the different styles that have previously nourished the romantic, giving them a contemporary approach and a vision of relationships, a treatment with which the public can connect from the current collective imagination.

Hence ‘An Explosive Marriage’, available on Amazon Prime Video starting January 27drinking as much from the nut that stood out in the 1930s as from America’s Sweetheart status Jennifer Lopez already started trying to reclaim in the early 2000s. At the time Sandra Bullock and Reese Witherspoon were doing the same, and both came back with the same intention: lead the new wave of novels. Bullock with the aforementioned ‘The Lost City’, Witherspoon with the subsequent ‘Your Place or Mine’ and Lopez with this proposal, reiterate that they need to fall in love again.

And ‘An Explosive Wedding’ is successful, thanks in large part to Hammer’s screenplay and his vision of marriage. Betting on a boyfriend completely dedicated to planning the perfect wedding, a bride allergic to commitment and a handful of side boys who lead relationships that are less than perfect, the plot reflects on how to take care of couple’s love by covering everything with that so much that enough action and necessary from absurd and challenging. It is true that the ridiculous clashes towards the end of the adventure, but even that thread past has its charm because the base is worked. The humor holds up most of the time (maybe better in the original version, but when it doesn’t) and at the end of the road, the film boasts a charming veneer and injects the viewer with a dose of hope, a fundamental function of the genre.

The starting point is simple: Darcy (Lopez), Tom (Josh Duhamel), family and friends have traveled to a paradisiacal resort in the Philippines to celebrate the couple’s wedding, a bond that is in jeopardy due to the unexpected stakeout. of some pirates who turn the tide. Then love takes a back seat highlighting an action that turns hand-cut Lopez and Jennifer Coolidge into a whole mood.

Also, unexpectedly, Duhamel saves chestnuts by forgetting that Armie Hammer was originally cast in his role, an actor whose career has been put on hold following a series of increasingly sordid allegations. Duhamel develops around Lopez’s character, complementing her and respecting her leadership. without losing that necessary essence of love. For her part, the interpreter who took her first steps in the genre with ‘Wedding Plans’ or ‘It Happened in Manhattan’, reprises the role of the bride after recently embodying it in ‘Marry Me’ alongside Maluma and Owen Wilson , demonstrating once again how comfortable she feels in this type of proposal.

One more, not one less

George Dewey and Ryan Reynolds, creative tandem behind the production of ‘The Adam Project’ or ‘Free Guy’, are among the producers of ‘An Explosive Wedding’, a film which, in addition to boasting of being a veteran of romance, cannot complain about the secondary Obviously Coolidge is a giftbut the best friend (a must) played by Callie Hernandez, or the parents of the bride played by Cheech Marin and Sonia Braga, are no different.

What a joy one more and hopefully never one less. The romantic has its place and is as necessary as that of drama or blockbusters. The romantic always seeks a fun escape and moves without pretensions. It does not demand anything from the viewer, but rather invites you to leave your worries outside the door (at home or at the cinema) and not to think too much about anything. The romantic softens and pushes his audience to look for the bright side of things, therefore it is an eternal genre.
