Jennifer Lopez on "Shotgun Wedding" | Behinde The Scene | RayderMediaTV

As if one weren't enough, Shotgun Wedding boasts two ultra-charismatic megawatt stars with comedic chops and dramatic bravado named Jennifer: Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Coolidge. The comedy centers on bride-to-be Darcy (Lopez) and her fiancé, Tom (Josh Duhamel), during their tropical destination wedding, as they face the usual struggles and stressors of impending nuptials. (Coolidge plays the overbearing mother of the groom, Carol.) But when a band of pirates attack the venue and take their families hostage, the would-be newlyweds must save the day — and their relationship.

"This isn't a big secret, but casting is everything," says the director Jason Moore, the man behind some of your favorite films starring funny women. He made his feature directorial debut with 2012's Pitch Perfect, the a cappella comedy starring Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, and Elizabeth Banks, and followed it with 2015's Sisters, which cast Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as unlikely siblings alongside as ensemble that included Maya Rudolph, Greta Lee, and Rachel Dratch.

Of his latest leading ladies, Moore says, "They're very talented in very different ways, and I love that. And it's really fun to watch them together, because they both like to surprise each other and shock each other. I think it's really funny the way that they spark up when they're together."

In a chat with A.frame, Moore discusses collaborating with each of the Jennifers, why he thinks Lopez would make a great director, and what happens when you give Coolidge carte blanche to let loose on set.
