Darcy and Tom have invited friends and family to their wedding on a picturesque island in the Philippines. Their special day takes an unexpected turn when the entire wedding party is taken hostage by a band of pirates. This action comedy has a cute premise, but the film itself offers forgettable set pieces and very little to laugh about. The story is stupid and formulaic, the characters feel incredibly sitcommy, the dialogue is clunky and unfunny, and the performances apart from Jennifer Coolidge are dreadful.
