Is Josh the male lead in Shotgun Wedding? I can’t see much chemistry between the two of them. Dunno why I feel that way bc he’s easy on the eyes.
The role was originally supposed to be played by Armie Hammer. But it was being filmed right around the time the cannibalism stories came out about Armie, so Josh replaced him in the part. Probably not a lot of time for chemistry checks!
 
they each knew what they were getting. so was it the lure of the publicity - all the people excited about them? the big wedding? or true love, the kind where you are best friends?
I think it was nostalgia, honestly. They were both at the height of their careers the first time around. It is easy to romanticize love lost, but it rarely lives up to the memories.

I agree and, to add, I think she needed to prove she was loveable after the nonsense with AR. It could never have worked with AR, not because he was sliding into other people’s DMs, but because her true love was someone else. And look how quickly she was snapped back up!

Ben was also a similar unresolved issue. To resurrect this relationship brings closure to the drama from a couple decades ago. Now she is “the one he couldn’t forget” as opposed to the one he cheated on enroute to the altar.

On Ben’s part - he was George Clooney’ing Batman and was coming across as The Old Guy With The Sad Tattoo. He needed some renewed sexual energy.

This was a win / win for both of them. I’m all in for a crazy love story but I suspect this isn’t one.
