After the red carpet premiere of 'Shotgun Wedding,' Ben Affleck has emerged with glowing remarks for Jennifer Lopez's performance in the romantic comedy movie.
"Jennifer was nothing short of spectacular in this film," Affleck stated to reporters at the premiere. "Her comedic timing, chemistry with the cast, and emotional depth were all on full display."
Affleck, who directed Lopez in the 2003 flop 'Gigli,' acknowledged the actress's growth and versatility. "She's taken her craft to another level," he said. "Her performance in 'Shotgun Wedding' is a testament to her talent and dedication."
'Shotgun Wedding' follows the hapless couple Darcy (Lopez) and Tom (Josh Duhamel) as they navigate their destination wedding amidst a group of criminals who take their guests hostage. Despite its release during a competitive holiday season, 'Shotgun Wedding' has received positive reviews, with critics praising its humor, action, and Lopez's performance.
Audiences have also taken to 'Shotgun Wedding,' with many praising Lopez's portrayal of Darcy. One fan tweeted, "JLo stole the show! Her character was both relatable and hilarious." Another commented, "Lopez's comedic skills were on full display. She carried the film with ease."
Affleck and Lopez, who divorced in 2018 and later rekindled their romance in 2021, have not shared plans for any future collaborations. However, Affleck's praise for Lopez's performance suggests that the ex-couple remains on good terms and supportive of each other's careers.
